Book Review: Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine


Are you struggling to get through each day or week? Is your to-do list never ending? Do you need some simplification in your life? Say Goodbye to Survival Mode is packed with tips and strategies to keep from being overwhelmed by the daily grind of life. Crystal Paine speaks from experience as a homeschooling Mom who runs her own business. She offers simple strategies and organizational tools that when implemented, can help you go from feeling behind all the time to actually having time to do things that make your life more enjoyable.

I was very interested in reading this book because I am one of those people who always have a to-do list. I don’t seem to have that busy or hectic of a lifestyle, so I couldn’t figure out why I always feel stretched so thin. Crystal advises her readers to not take on more than they can realistically handle, which may mean saying no to requests from family and friends. As I read the book, I took notes and made sure to do all the activities she suggested in order to gain a head start in de-cluttering my life. I read a chapter a day, and tried to implement her strategies bit by bit. Before I had even finished the book I started feeling much more relaxed! Some of the chapters were not as relevant to me as others, but everyone struggles in different areas and I definitely got help where I needed it! Her website also has printable copies of some of the organizational worksheets she recommends.

If you are ever stressed out over life, I highly recommend this book! Like I said, I have started using her methods and feel so much better! My house is neater already and I have more time for guilt-free Netflix time!
