Book Cover & Preview Text
People say to me continually they don’t know how I do it all. All of what? It’s just life in general. Stop beating yourself up for not being organized enough, quick enough, intelligent enough, thin enough, creative enough, or on top of things in general. Whether you consider yourself an organized person or not, you should start by taking credit for the fact that every day you wake up and manage to get through the day, usually without some type of major emergency. If you can put your pj’s on at the end of the day and breathe a sigh of relief that you made it, count your blessings. You are worth far more than you give yourself credit! When asked how I do it all, my answer is, “I do what works for me.” So, my advice to you is to figure out what works best for you and stick to it. No need to further defend yourself to those beautifully styled, well-manicured, intelligent speaking, oh so together intimidators. Maybe they actually view you the same way as you see them. If you don’t think so, read on…

About the Book
Whatever Works for You: A Working Woman’s Guide to Surviving a Busy Life While Maintaining Peace is a semi-autobiographical view into author Deborah McVay-McKinney’s busy life. She offers guidance for the working woman who seeks balance while accomplishing everything on her to-do list and maintaining a career, home, and family. Filled with organizational tips and advice-and dotted with humor and history-this entertaining how-to reference manual reveals that living a successful, balanced life is simpler than people realize.
In these busy, stressful times, people want to feel like they have a life beyond work as well as good ideas to help them accomplish this goal. The author cites many different types of women who inspire her thoughts on surviving in today’s world. When they are overwhelmed, overcommitted, faced with uncertainties, and just plain stressed-as many of these women are on a daily basis-their strength comes from knowing they are not alone. The common thread in each of their lives is a strong sense of faith.
Planning a vacation, managing the holiday season, accomplishing weekly chores, and sorting the paper piles are explained in easy to follow steps, along with checklists and planning pages, to gain an organized, stress-free life.
In Whatever Works for You, McVay-McKinney encourages readers to find personal time, gain a renewed sense of value, and depend more upon faith to achieve a balanced, peaceful life.
