Journal your way to a life with purpose. The Strengths Journal™ is the first and only Gallup-certified daily planner that helps you actively use your strengths to dominate each day and ultimately– transform your life.

Do you feel like your task list is long and your stress levels high? I think a lot about working moms, who are out there serving their families, their children, while also working and never taking a break.

In my coaching, I talk to a lot of these women, and it can feel hard for them to say no. Consider this question based on Greg McKeown’s work, Essentialism: what is essential in your life? Knowing this can help you know how to say no to activities that ultimately don’t serve you, your work, or your families.

Take this action step today: Based on McKeown’s book, first, make a list of your current commitments and activities, then evaluate each one to determine its true importance in your life. This is where you identify your priorities. Using your CliftonStrengths can help you navigate this process. For example, if you have the Strategic strength like I do, you can look at the big picture and spot patterns to identify your priorities. After making your list, eliminate non-essential activities by removing or delegating those that don't contribute significantly to your values.
