Before I became the bestselling author of Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management and the creator of the Do Less Planner, I had to come to a reckoning with my habits of addiction to overworking.

I thought that getting more done and putting in more hours meant I was more valuable. I also thought that the only way to have the results and impact I wanted was to work harder.

My bumpy entry into motherhood and witnessing the miracle of having made a human (by far the most productive thing I’ve ever done) without having to think about it, will it to happen, or work harder acted as a startling wake-up call around so many things...most of all, my relationship with work.

Thrust into a completely new identity with significant limitations on my time and energy,
I began to notice how habitual and even addictive my behavior was around work. How I would use it as a numbing strategy or a misguided attempt to soothe myself.

What was wild, though, was that in the end, I’d never worked less in my adult life than I did during that first year of motherhood, and yet our revenue remained steady. 

“How is it possible,” I thought, “that I could get the same results while working less than half the amount?”

From this question emerged the “Do Less Methodology” that now lives in our offerings, such as the Origin Collective®, the Do Less Planner, and The Do Less Method for Business.

It’s an honor to share this new way of doing life and work with you, and I can’t wait to be together for the workshop soon!

Love,
Kate
