From Frazzled to Focused: The Ultimate Guide for Moms Who Want to Reclaim Their Time, Their Sanity and Their Lives

by Rivka Caroline

Overview

It takes more effort to be disorganized than to be organized

Written by a mother of seven with the overwhelmed, stretched-too-thin, sleep-deprived mom in mind, From Frazzled to Focused walks busy readers through the easy-to-follow steps that will help them arrange their lives so they have more time to do what they love each day.

The four components of Caroline's unique time-management method will help any overextended mother create systems from the chaos of a hectic household:

* Select (help moms determine what that should focus their limited time and attention on)
* Simplify (how to streamline mental and physical space)
* Systemize (create simple systems for everyday life to keep things running smoothly)
* Sustain (maintain those systems and tweak when necessary).

Having these systems in place is the key to a more organized, relaxed life. Readers will learn how to free up space, reduce anxiety, and spend more time on the things that really matter.

About the Author

Rivka Caroline is a mom, rabbi’s wife, and professional time management consultant in the Miami, Florida, area. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and will be completing her master’s in psychology in 2013. She teaches individuals, small businesses, and teams within corporations how to leverage their time to work effectively and find time for the things that count. Perhaps more important, Rivka has seven children and is still quite relaxed and sane and able to find time for what matters. People often ask her how she “does it all.” This book is her detailed response. (Spoiler alert: She doesn’t actually do it all!) Amy Sweeting is a freelance editor and writer based in Amherst, Massachusetts. She has authored, ghostwritten, and edited several books and publications for a diverse range of clients and organizations. Amy has only two children (though sometimes they seem like seven), but still has a fair amount of chaos in her life. After fifteen years of resisting her husband’s suggestion to plan out the family’s meals for the week, she finally gave it a try (at Rivka’s prodding) and is amazed at how it has made evenings so much more relaxed. Her husband is very sweetly resisting the urge to say “I told you so.”
