Maximize Your Time and Energy: A Revolutionary Approach to Time Management for Ambitious Women

Cecilie: When I bought this book, I was looking for a new way to organize myself and my energy in a more soulful way. I was used to making very long and thorough to-do lists but after my initiation into awakening, my old process wasn't sticking anymore and I felt a little lost. Reading this book inspired me to try out the Do Less companion planner as a helpful guide. I've been practicing applying the 80/20 mindset to my time and it has really helped me to distill what is actually valuable in my life and where I need to put my energy. I also really love working with the moon phases and learning about the egg wisdom! This book and the planner combined have completely transformed my relationship to my energy and resources.

Tea: I’ve taken the information in Do Less and ran with it! I am not a mom, but this book is helpful regardless. I have a hormonal disorder and mood disorder (fun!), so anything that will help me feel less guilty and more spacious in my life is worth the read. I love Kat Northrup because everything she says is digestible and genuine. It also is logical, but sometimes we need someone to tell us these things for us to know that it is okay, such as saying no to things that aren’t aligned with us or relaxing during the new moon or menstruation phase. I’m such an advocate for cyclical living now, because of Kate. She also opened the door for many other experts like Alisa Vitti to come into my life. Thank you!

Jessica pasaye: Absolutely love this book! It’s a lot of relearning but it’s also mind blowing. It really breaks down your cycle and as you read through it. It really makes sense ! I was borderline screaming with how in shock I was in chapters and learning to honor my cycle

John: Kate, thank you for this book. It has been such a gift, beyond what I could have imagined.

All the time I hear "This is the day. There is no other day. This is the day…There is no other time. Today is the Superbowl. Today is the day I give birth. Today is the day I die."

But NO. EVERYDAY IS NOT THE SAME. You are not going to feel the same every day, and that's okay, and actually that's beautiful. We are on a cycle, and that is a beautiful gift.

Okay, and yes, this sounds woo woo, but stay with me: I considered going off birth control when I realized it can hamper muscle growth in women. But I never realized it could also be keep me from really tapping into the gifts of being a women, some weeks you are inward looking, some weeks you are outward looking and you are READY TO FIND A MAN, and sometimes you wonder why you don't always feel the same every day? Is there something wrong with that? And, of course, absolutely not, it is natural and I LOVE IT.

I have bought so much moon jewelry after reading this book, hahaha.

Thank you SO much Kate!

Amanda: This was a really refreshing read. It was definitely written more for working moms, but I feel like even though I don't work I could use some of the tips to change things in my life. There were some parts that seemed common sense to me and things I already do, but I really enjoyed some of the other practices. The cycle planning was very interesting and I've already been kinda doing some of that, but hope to take it to the next level.

MissMouse: This is a very interesting book with valuable content, including evidence, not to be overlooked.
I particularly like the circular year diagram, I would link this to prehistoric and seasonal concepts of time, especially for instance, circular structures, although concepts of time may have been different then the circular seemed to predominate.
Although I agree with the menstrual emphasis and theories I am menopausal, but I haven't finished the book yet.

Sarah Carter: A brilliant book which I wish I had been written so I could have read it 10 years ago! This is a book for any busy woman, mum, caregiver, wife/partner, perfectionist and/or over achiever A type!

Kate writes with warmth, humour and honesty. Her advice and the experiments offered are realistic and do-able. So good to read genuine advice, from someone who is doing less and living her words out in her life. Thank you Kate!

Client d'Amazon: J'ai acheté ce livre après avoir vu l'interview de l'auteur avec Marie Forleo... et je ne suis pas déçue. Ce livre nous rappelle à l'essentiel, se connecter à soi, se connecter aux cycles, être à l'écoute de soi et passer à l'action depuis cet endroit là ! J'adore, je relis régulièrement des passages, ils sont comme des piqures de rappel pour faire moins, faire mieux, faire ce qui nous remplit, nous nourrit !

Sampada Chaudhari: Do Less is a book with a high healing quotient, just as most of Kate Northrup’s work. In this book, Kate brings some never heard of wisdom to time management that’s deep yet delivered in a breezy style. It’s easy to comprehend and apply. Her concepts are unique, insightful and yield high results. I’m most thankful to Kate for helping me (and some friends who’ve read the book) to start making shifts in how we manage time and hold our power in the world (yes, there’s a connection here). I most loved her emphasis on energy management v/s time management- it’s been a winner for me.

This book is packed with convincing and fresh approaches to productivity, that work! I loved how it has helped me unwire and heal productivity challenges many of which came from beliefs of a masculine work world dominated by the patriarchy we live in. It’s such a relief to get permission and the tools to manage time in a feminine way - a way that’s more aligned. And one that makes more sense! Do Less is a must-read for women - (whether you’re a) mom or not. I deeply wish many more women experience the magic of Do Less!
