Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time by Brigid Schulte

5.0

loved this book, even though it took me a while to get through (kept putting it down to read other things). really thought-provoking around how people, especially women, approach time and how we fill it. i picked up a lot of great tips from the book, and i appreciated how the author really looked at her own life and the chaos to inform the book. it makes perfect sense to figure out what matters and make time for that. if anything, a really good reminder to be more intentional and to remember that i have control over my time. i appreciated the discussion of gender roles and how women default to shouldering the heavy burdens of a household and raising kids. i feel like this book was good to read before having kids to really be intentional about how to define parental roles. i'll definitely read this again.
