Are you a woman who works too much?

In episode #2 of Another Way I’m joined by Tamu Thomas to explore why so many women find themselves trapped in a cycle of over-working and exhaustion and what we can do to set ourselves free

Are you a woman who works too much? Are you fed up with feeling over-stretched, exhausted and trapped on a treadmill of never-ending to-do lists?

Then this episode of Another Way is dedicated to you and all the women out there who find themselves working too much.

I’m joined by transformational coach, speaker and author, Tamu Thomas, , who is on a mission to show women that there IS another way with her brand new book ‘Women Who Work Too Much’. 

Join us as we unpack why so many women are working too, what’s really keep us stuck in a cycle of 

toxic productivity and what we can do to finally set ourselves free and start designing our lives so that we thrive.

I cannot recommend Tamu’s book more - ‘Women Who Work Too Much’ is out now.

As with every episode, I give you a coaching exercise to try at the end. 

Here is the one from today’s episode, inspired by the conversation with Tamu and designed to help you identify what changes you can make in your life right now, that will free you up and have you working less and enjoying life more. 

Step 1: Write down the work activities that make up your day. Start with the work you have to do each day or each week at home. And then write down the activities you have to do each day or each week at work.

Step 2: Read back through the list you’ve just written, marking the activities that you enjoy doing with a heart and the activities that you either don't enjoy doing, or you find you're doing too much with a cross. 

Step 3: Go one by one through the activities that you marked with a cross and for each one, ask yourself how you could take this activity off your plate so you no longer have to do it at all, how you could get help with it if you can't take it off your plate completely, or how you can make it easier or more enjoyable for yourself (I give examples in the episode).

Step 4: Write down a list of activities that fill up your cup, that recharge your batteries and bring you joy. The simple stuff that you can do day to day, everything from having a hot bath to going for a bike ride, to meeting up with friends, to having an early night with a great book.

Step 5: Open up your calendar and book in three of those things over the next seven days, setting a reminder alarm on your phone if you need it.
