The main idea of the book is prioritising the things in your life that matter - what should you take the time to worry about and balance - how much time are you wasting worrying about things that aren't important to you but are being pushed on to you by other people - it categorises everything into four groups from 'Things' to 'Family' and so you are encouraged to consider how important it is to you and whether you want to give it your time and energy. The idea being that say someone invites you to attend their best friend's niece's school show, you immediately know whether that's something you want to do and if it's not, you politely say no and aren't guilt tripped into it. It also talks about being 'Not Sorry' but keeping things out of being an a**hole territory. It looks at it from a semi-Marie Kondo way about what brings joy to your life and what doesn't and how to give more time to the joyful aspects and where possible remove the rest. I haven't really implemented the full process, but plan to spend some time doing so in the hope of getting a better balance of what I want, rather than what I have been guilted into.
