The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families will present Brigid Schulte in Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love and Play When No One Has the Time on Monday, May 11.

The program will begin at noon May 11 at the Marquardt School District 15 Administration Center, 1860 Glen Ellyn Road in Glendale Heights.

When Schulte, a harried mother of two, realized she was living a life of all work and no play, she decided to find out why she felt so overwhelmed. Ultimately, this led to her best-selling book “Overwhelmed.”

In this important GPS discussion, we will examine contemporary scientific research on time management and learn why being overwhelmed can physically affect the brain. What can we learn from the latest human performance and motivation-science to help us to make better use of each day?

Enlivened by personal anecdotes and humor, this program will uncover some of the misguided beliefs that have made leisure feel like a thing of the past. Join us for a fresh perspective on a balanced life, as we present solutions that will lead to less stress as we discover how to find time for things that matter.
