Welcome again to Why Moms Need Happy Projects- in this blog series I share inspiration and reasons to help you start a happy project, your ideal mom's happy project. If you didn't read my previews post, I will link it here.
Today, let's talk about the book: Living the 80/20 Way: Work Less, Worry Less, Succeed More, Enjoy More. Author Richard Koch talks about a lifestyle where less is more and to focus your energy on activities that produce the best of you. How beautiful does that sound? Personally, I think this speaks directly to us, moms. The happier we are, the more enjoyable motherhood can be. The trick is to find harmony and cut time on those activities that don't produce as much happiness.
If I were to start living the 80/20 lifestyle today, I would focus on playing more with my baby, spending quality time with my husband and working on the blog – focus the majority of my energy on what I enjoy. The rest of it, wouldn't weigh me down. It's less important.
I would like to share other great examples and inspirations - meet my supermoms from today's blog and see how they are spending their energy in their happy projects. Let's cheer them on by visiting their sites and feel free to drop a superhero emoji 🦸 in one of their posts!

Why did you start your happy project?
"I've always enjoyed capturing moments and things around me through photography. My husband bought me a fancy new digital camera last year so I can turn my interest into a hobby! "
What do you do?
"I signed up for photography lessons so I can take advantage of all the settings my digital camera has and learn more about photography and post processing.
Who knows, maybe I can turn my hobby into a business one day! 😉"
