Neera, this book sounds like a game-changer! I'm a recovering people-pleaser who's spent way too much time being a "firefighter." The idea of giving myself permission to eliminate, automate, and even procrastinate on certain tasks is incredibly liberating. I've always felt guilty about not doing it all, but maybe that's been the problem all along. I'm adding this to my reading list ASAP!

Just so you know, Neera, I spent the last two hours savoring what you shared on LinkedIn, followed your link to YouTube, to websites, then in your newsletter, and now here.

Here's the beauty. Besides letting my 4-legged kids out at 5am (after I tinkled first 🤗), EVERYTHING I read, heard, and saw is spot on.

The value that you gave is priceless!

Oh my god Donna, I have never had anyone say that to me before. Neither did anyone read all my stuff in a single sitting. I never had much confidence in my work. You have no idea how much your message means yo me.

To further validate, Neera, the time between wake and sleep is my most precious time -- when all things are possible.

You enriched that time.

Thank you. Although I am seriously considering going for walks first thing in the morning, like my husband.

Smart. I used to do walk first thing. It's time I begin again! You, my inspiration fron down under 🤗

Maybe we should start a challenge thread. A walk everyday for 30 days, starting from 1 September. And post a photo from your walk. September is a good month. It’s start of spring at Downunder and it’s my birthday month. I will put some thought on how to communicate it.
