And anyone who's ever tried to have a conference call with a baby or a pet in the room knows how hard that is.

So we're basically set up to fail in all of these areas.

And so I came up with this new framework for looking at work in life, which is a pie.

And to live a really fulfilling life, you should be involved in six or seven slices.

It doesn't mean that the slices will always be the same size.

Right now, hobbies might be a

sliver and parenting might be 40% of your pie.

And that's okay.

The idea is not to beat yourself up based on how much time you're allocating for each slice.

Instead, it's to say I'm probably pretty rational about how I've been allocating my time.

And instead, I'm going to evaluate my success based on how I'm achieving my goals for each slice.

And the book outlines really clearly how you can, what kind of goals to make and how you can

set them and and go about making them and achieving them.

Yeah, so I think that, you know, when I was when our kids were younger, my husband used to call my method of parenting exhaustive parenting.

But um but it's really about, you know, an empathetic approach to parenting.

It's not, you know, very discipline heavy at all.

It's much more about really responding to your child's needs and seeing them for who they are.

And that does take more time and it is more exhausting too when your children are crying to say, you know what, they're probably crying for a reason.

They don't have a full vocabulary yet.

There's something that's really bothering them.
