What I'm Reading Now -- Overwhelmed

I admit it, I'm not much for self-help books.  But I am trying to turn over a new leaf, broaden my horizons, and all that good stuff.  So recently I picked up Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time, by Brigid Schulte.

What I've covered so far seems to blame parenthood for most of the lack of leisure time that adults worldwide are experiencing, and obviously that is not my issue.  But, I can feel some of the pain of what she early on describes as "mental pollution" - that noise that's always in my head, the constantly, the always-updating, rolling to-do list. I expect, to the extent there is useful information to be gleaned by anyone, at least some of it will apply to non-parents as well.

I'll be back with any brilliant insights!
