Have you been feeling out of control? Does it feel like you do everything and you are alone in your marriage? You definitely are not the only one who has ever felt that way.

In this book, she explains how you can win at parenting and life by playing the game of fair play — a life-changing technique borne out of the personal experience and a thirst for success in life.

Imagine this scenario: you have three children who have basketball, ballet, and baseball practice today by 3 p.m., 3:45 p.m., and 4:00 p.m., respectively. You will have to pick them up from school first and feed them. You manage to pick and clean them up and rush them to their different activities, but you still have to make dinner. And right when you're in the middle of a grocery store trying to figure out what to buy, your husband sends you a text reminding you to send some insurance documents to his email. At this stage, you'll likely feel like screaming off the rooftop in frustration. But what if there was a way for you to find balance? What if you could get your life back? Likely, you can do it with the Fair Play system.
You do so much for your family, and everyone should know this. Unfortunately, so many times, you're doing everything alone: from getting your children ready for school to making sure the trash is taken out. And this gets worse as your family gets bigger. The problem is that most things you do are invisible — people don't value what they can't see. Alternatively, nobody notices your efforts because you don't view them as work. However, you need your loved ones to notice everything you do. It is the only way to transform everyone's perspective on how things in a family should work. Start with creating lists of completed duties, even the smallest ones, and you'll see how invisible becomes noticed and significant.
Lists containing your domestic tasks are your weapon for rebalancing responsibilities. They provide your partner with intel about routine chores and how exhausting they can be for one person.
However, lists will get you nowhere if you don't use them as a part of a strategy — rebalancing responsibilities requires a system. The best way to improve your life, define yourself, and get a grip on things is to play the game of Fair Play. This system will help you clearly define domestic duties, enhance parenting, and revive your relationship with a partner, giving you refreshing satisfaction with your life.
This insightful summary will help you discover how you can become yourself again and make life healthier and more enjoyable for you and your loved ones. You'll learn simple rules for saving time, preserving a sound mind, and having fun!

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
