My answer to how do I do it all is that I don't do it all. I do things that are important to me and my family and I gracefully accept there will be things (many) I won't do - and they are "won'ts".

This month's review highlighted to me the things I wanted to keep from what I have changed during the stay at home period for COVID-19. Giving some thought to what "normal you want to go back to is important, so you don't unconsciously fall back into habits that weren't serving you well.

Monthly review: knowing the changes I want to keep
