“Lightening your load” is an important part of time management, simply because you’ll have less “stuff” to manage! What “stuff” am I referring to? All the things you do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Have you ever fantasized about ditching your obligations and running away to a deserted island?
As freeing as that may sound, you really don’t have to go to those lengths to create a more peaceful existence.
There is one easy way to lighten your load immediately, and it may surprise you: ask for help.
It’s amazing how we resist asking for help sometimes! Either we’re afraid that the answer will be “no” or we believe that no one else will do the job as well as we can, so we end up carrying everything on our shoulders.
Does that describe you? If so, it’s time to give yourself a break. Ask your family members to help out with household chores. Ask your boss to hire a part-time assistant. Hire a cleaning service once a week so you can take some time to relax.
Whatever responsibilities are weighing you down and eating up too much time, ask for help. Most often when you do, other people will be glad to pitch in. They may not realize you need help if you don’t say anything! 
While we’re on the subject, here’s a good bonus tip for you: Stop carrying other people’s responsibilities. Very often in our desire to help the people we love, we take on responsibilities that are not ours. If we’re not careful, we’ll end up carrying them for years!
There’s nothing wrong with helping others when you can, but when it starts to drain your time and energy too much, it’s time to step back and let go.
Eliminating excessive drains on your time and energy is a good first step, my friend, but it’s what you do with the time you have left that really counts. Learn more about organizing the rest of your life by clicking here.

You have truly inspired me, Nirusan. As mothers, and women in general, we do tend to think not only that we CAN “do it all,” but that it is expected of us. No wonder stress-related illnesses and maladies are so common!
I’m going to ask my family for more help — because if I focus on my home business, everybody benefits….
Thank you for these very, very wise words.
