[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the best things for me was coming to terms with the fact that I am not going to get to most things on a 400 page list. I prioritize and drop the rest. It’s given me mental space for the things I will do[/quote] +1 I'm a type A person, and it was really hard for me to let things go. But, I was just too stressed out, and unhappy. And I was 40. Something has to give, OP. You have to figure out what is not urgent, and drop the rest for now. I basically killed my career because at the time, me being less stressed meant a healthier happier family. One DC is now in college, and the other is a sophomore.. DH is a full partner, for the most part. I found a job that lets me wfh FT, and that has also made it a lot easier. In the early years, I literally felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Now, I see the light... DH and I hope to be retired in a few years, after DC#2 goes off to college. [/quote]
