Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life

By Crystal Paine

As an avid follower of Crystal’s MoneySavingMom.com blog for many years now, I was very eager to read her latest offering ‘Say Goodbye to Survival Mode’. If you are one of those people who feels they are probably taking on more than they can handle, with high stress levels and very low energy, this book was written for you. This is a book that tackles time management, especially for those very busy mums who never have enough hours in their days.

Say Goodbye to Survival Mode exposes the life experiences of the author Crystal Paine. She shares practical advice on how to manage your busy life. She has lived the busy mom life and has figured out how to simplify it so she could start enjoying life. This book contains tips as well as the encouragement you need to help you live a more simple, less stressful life.

The main section of this book covers the changes that she made, that resulted in a less stressful life. Simple things like saying no to unimportant commitments, getting enough daily sleep, balancing your bank accounts, only focusing on things that you excel at all make a huge difference. Of course, one of the major ones is having the ability to manage your time, so as to never have that ‘overwhelmed’ feeling.

Who Is Crystal Paine?  She is the founder of the popular blog MoneySavingMom.com, which now gets an average of 1.5 million readers every month. She is on a personal mission to help and challenge all women with the often difficult task of time management. Crystal is also a speaker and has published two other books The Money Saving Mom’s Budget and 21 Days To A More Disciplined Life prior to this one. She lives with her husband and three children.

I love Crystal Paine’s down to earth style of writing . This makes the book more relatable and easier to grasp the concepts. The steps that she encourages you to take are so simple, you will never feel overwhelmed. Her real life examples both from her life and some from her readers are a welcome addition. She encourages you to customize your life based on your personal family situation.

The one thing that really hit home on my end was, the advice on ‘Stop Trying to Do it All.’ It has been really difficult for me not to try do everything, but I have started to implement some of the tips from this book. All I had to do was follow the plan on how to select my priorities. The exercises at the end of most of the chapters, are also very helpful.

In conclusion, Say Goodbye To Survival Mode is an easy to read, practical and super motivational book. Not only is it very helpful, it also encourages you to take the steps back to living life and not just trying to survive. Your focus will be renewed, and you will be able to finally concentrate on the important stuff in your life. Say goodbye to stress and hello to your favorite activities and hobbies.
