Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

A good book at a great price!

Not relevant to the single mom

Even if I worked in a corporate job, this book only speaks to a man's perspective—specifically, a man who has someone at home who takes care of all things home and childcare-related. I took what I thought might be useful, which wasn't much.

Anti Motherhood

There was one semi-useful chapter.

Very good book!

This book shed a bright light on all the non-essential activities I was allowing to take away time of my daily life. Great read, well structured and has a lot of helpful advice on how to channel your energy towards the most important things in life.

A Meditation on Focus

This is one that I need to keep re-reading. It's practical, but it serves as a reminder that one cannot do EVERYTHING and the best way to achieve goals, be they personal or professional, is to slow down and prioritize, or at least ask yourself about what really matters and brings joy.
