How To Live An Insanely Productive Life Without Going Insane
A Simple-Truth Guide to Productivity and You
(Hint: Life Hackers Don’t Know What You Need.)
If you read my bio you may have figured out I have six kids. When people meet me this one snippet of information usually sends their brains into overload. They can’t compute my life. I am not Mormon or Catholic, and any box they may try to shove me in just doesn't hold me.
I am greeted by people whose names I am silently chanting, struggling to hold onto long enough that the name sticks, with the question “How do you do it?” They confess to having one, or two, or occasionally three children. And they barely manage, so how can I possibly do it? It seems like a personal question to me, something you ask after knowing someone for years. Also, how do you answer that without making the person feel stupid or incompetent? I usually shrug my shoulders, chuckle and smile, hoping it is just a rhetorical question and they don’t expect an actual answer.
They are blown away just because I have six kids. It usually follows shortly thereafter that I homeschool and I swear sometimes I think their eyes are actually going to explode. It is impossible to share more about myself, like the fact that I am a writer and blogger.
