One “must” for this week
"A workaholic’s guide to reclaiming your life" by Malissa Clark.
Workaholism is when work dominates our thoughts and activities, to the detriment of other aspects of our lives, including among others, our relationships and health.
Malissa presents us six coping strategies to break the cycle: redefining “urgent”, reinventing the to-do list, learning to say “no” and delegate, fixing the workaholic clock, controlling rumination, and embracing rest and recovery.
