Tweak It: Make What Matters to You Happen Every Day

by Cali Williams Yost Narrated by Sarah Zimmerman

Overview

As the demands of work grow more intense, personal life can get shoved to the side. But resolving the job-versus-life conflict doesn't require the kind of big, disruptive, scary transformation that so many time-management "experts" recommend. In Tweak it, Cali Williams Yost proves that a comfortable work+life fit can be achieved through making small, consistent, everyday changes -- tweaks -- that, cumulatively, will optimize job performance and well-being. This engaging, practical book, filled with case studies of people who've tweaked their way to professional success and personal satisfaction, guides readers through an easy-to-implement program that can be tailored to suit any individual's life, both on off the job.

I'm grateful to TWEAK IT for helping me make meaningful tweaks to my hectic work+life fit. In just the first week, I made a date to see my mom for dinner, set a schedule to walk with my husband a few times a week, and remembered to prioritize spending 10 minutes a day with each of my kids. Cali's mindful approach, and her stories about work+life fit naturals, offer up the possibility that we can all, in her words, "make what matters happen every day."—Julie Burstein, author of Spark: How Creativity Works
