The See-Saw, By Julia Hobsbawm
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This collection of "100 Ideas for Work-Life Balance" by the PR guru Julia Hobsbawm makes some good points about women and guilt, but sadly her value-tosh balance is too skewed to find room here to mention them.
What there is much more of is self-help cringe about the T-word (time) and the G-word (guilt), and plenty of the S-word (smugness) in which the fragrant Ms H compares herself to an Afghan refugee and fails to understand that not everyone lives in posh north London.
Tips: get your manicurist to come to you; organise a "non-book group" to see your friends; family karaoke in the bath is a flexible "recipe" that is great fun for singles, too! If anyone ever catches me trying it, shoot me through the head and sell me for horse meat.
