Overcoming Overwork (HBR Women at Work Series)

Overworked? Overwhelmed? Protect yourself from burnout.

The amount of work placed on women is often insurmountable. Along with doing what's required for our jobs, we're often asked to manage tasks that don't lead to career growth or promotions. At work and at home we're charged with countless forms of invisible labor that sap our time and energy. We usually rise to the occasion and do all of these things well, but this constant flow of overwork can leave us feeling underappreciated, frustrated, and burned out.

It's time to end the culture of overwork for women. From doing fewer dead-end tasks to delegating effectively, Overcoming Overwork provides practical advice for taking control of your workload so that you can spend your time doing what matters to you.

This book will inspire you to:

• Work smarter, not harder • Delegate tasks and projects for a more equitable balance of labor • Ask for help when your workload becomes unmanageable • Carve out time and space for yourself

The HBR Women at Work series spotlights the real challenges and opportunities women experience throughout their careers. With interviews from the popular podcast of the same name and related articles, stories, and research, these books provide inspiration and advice for taking on topics at work like inequity, advancement, and building community. Featuring detailed discussion guides, this series will help you spark important conversations about where we're at and how to move forward.
