About this listen

"This book is two things. It’s an eye-opener to the fact that we don’t have to do a million things to be productive (or successful). And it’s a coach that helps us trim the fat, get real with our purpose, and start living more intentionally." (Goop)

"Dalton helps listeners by teaching us to focus on the most important things and create our own operating systems that are exclusive to our lives as individuals. By doing this, we can simplify and make life even better." (San Francisco Book Review)

Dalton’s ground-up approach to productivity teaches listeners to identify their real priorities and, in doing so, cut their massive to-do lists down to size by learning to say no to the tasks that pull them away from their North Star-Grateful

Overwhelmed. Do you wake up in the morning already feeling behind? Does the pressure of keeping it all together make you feel anxious and irritable?

Tanya Dalton, CEO and productivity expert, offers you a liberating shift in perspective: Feeling overwhelmed isn't the result of having too much to do - it's from not knowing where to start.

Doing less might seem counterintuitive, but doing less is more productive, because you’re concentrating on the work you actually want to be doing. Through this book, you can learn how to:

  • Identify what is important to you and clarify your priorities.
  • Develop ways to streamline your specific workflow.
  • Discover your purpose.

Named Top 10 Business Book of the Year by Fortune magazine, The Joy of Missing Out is a legitimate action plan for change. Once you reject the pressure to do more, something amazing happens: You discover you can finally live a guilt-free, abundant life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

When I started out as a mother I had so many aspirations for the kind of stay at home mom I would be, and let’s face it, I’m not that woman. Being a stay at home mom doesn’t bring me joy. My kids being excited to see me after a day out by myself that I earned after a week of arguments brings me joy. Time alone by myself to work on my aspirations and spend time with my friends outside of motherhood brings me joy and I’m thankful I had this book to help me realize I don’t HAVE to do it all if it doesn’t make me happy.

It makes me feel like less of a bad mom

This book felt like unedited ramblings. She often looped back, skipped details that made the author uncomfortable, and contradicted things she had said earlier. She says to do more but also to do less, and she’s a night owl supposedly, but she wakes up at 4:30 am to do her most important work, she says it’s not all about work productivity yet that’s mostly what she talks about. She seems confused and desperate to understand herself. I hope writing this helped her because it did not help me. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because occasionally there would be a valuable insight, and because I have read/heard worse. With real thought and editing she might have been able to make this book work.

Contradictory, unfinished.

Amazing, life-changing! Tonya hits it right on the head with real tangible advice that is easy to implement. The resources that allow the reader to action immediately makes this a mini training and inspirational book all in one. Thank you Team Dalton for sharing this gift with the world.

I have been a fan of Tanya Dalton for years - first for her planner products, and then her podcast, and now her book! There is indeed joy in missing out! The simplicity of the message is what is needed in this 'do more' and 'do it all' society. I definitely suffer from the feeling of overwhelm, and she has a calming effect on helping you to focus on what is important.

Loved it!

I’m not even done with the book yet! But I wanted to jump on here and say that I love it already! I love that it takes the pressure off of me to “perform” another set of tasks that are supposed to change my life but leave me beating myself up for not being perfect!! I love that she starts out by relieving all pressure and just encourages you to find out who you are so that you can do your best, not someone else’s best!! I can’t wait to keep listening and will probably purchase the hard copy as well! Thank you for your wisdom!!

Love it already!

this is one of those few books that I struggled to finish and wish that I had seen if my library had a free copy instead of purchased. I was expecting a lot more out of this concept than what was actually given. It's an okay read but unfortunately wouldn't recommend

Was expecting something different

This book is sooo great! It gave me some very important tools that helped me smooth out my life as a female entrepreneur. I was able to share it with a friend who got a lot out of it as well.

The narration is great! I love hearing it from the author herself.

I highly recommend this! I know I will keep it in my library and give it a listen again for sure

I’m so glad I got this book!
