If a woman has a perfectionist personality, she wants all tasks to be completed flawlessly. These types of high achievers suffer more stress than women who are not perfectionists. When it comes to time management, believe it or not, perfectionism works against you.

1. Know that it is all right not to do it all.

Forget multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is synonymous with doing several jobs poorly at one time. That is very frustrating to someone with perfectionist tendencies.

You do not have to carry out everything in one day. Instead, concentrate on what is right in front of you that has to the earliest deadline first. Get that done, and then move on with the next task.

2. Give everything you do a time limit.

Whether you are a perfectionist or not, this is a good rule of thumb for any woman looking for better time management. Open-ended tasks tend to pile up because there is no finish line.

If you look at the whole picture of what is left undone, it can feel overwhelming...

One value of working with a Life Coach is the power to get a fresh, informed point of view on challenges that you encounter.

There is a common misconception that optimistic women are a particular breed and always make the right choices when handling their emotions. But a negative mindset forms when a woman consistently gives in to the negative thoughts that will naturally pop up for all of us.

On the other hand, a positive mindset starts when a woman consciously tries to replace those negative thoughts with positive ones. So, all that it takes is some effort. You need to put negative thoughts to the back of your mind and strive to find the positive in any situation.

Have a Growth Mindset

This is needed to end everything that ever holds you back from bettering your life. With just your mind, you can affect how your day will go, how you will feel about the circumstances you encounter, and the overall outlook about your future.

The mindsets you hold come naturally, which means most women do not even realize how they conduct themselves. A first step is to recognize the type of...
