I have the cover story in the January issue of Real Simple. I read a dozen or so self-help books about work-life balance and tried to follow their advice. (So the piece is funny-serious.) It’s not online.

Dear Ms. Ingall,
I really enjoyed reading your “Balance or bust ” article in Real Simple Magazine. It had me nodd, smile, laugh, and have more optimistic about this year. I must have read several self help books over last year hoping it would work magic on every situation of my life but I was lacking a view that how to apply/reflect the lesson. I read first few lines of the article and it was enough to bring the magazine to the counter. I have been away from Real Simple Magazine for a few years but if I find your article more, I will come back to it. ” No need to hunt our busy calender to schedule quality time. We’re living it” was eye opening. Thank you.
thanks, akiko! to give credit where it’s due, my editor actually added that line.

What a great article! Thanks for showing me I am not alone in my challenges of time and life. I too have bought several books and also took come classes/courses on how to relieve yourself from the upset you cause yourself in life. It’s amazing when we take responsibility for our lives/time/decisions what we find. Things fall into place.
Thank you, just thank you. Great writing and your sense of humor is stellar.
Thanks so much, Michele!
