1   Thou shalt not be perfect

2   Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people

3   Thou shalt not leave things undone that ought to be done

4   Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin

5   Thou shalt learn to say “No!”

6   Thou shalt schedule time for thyself and thy supportive network

7   Thou shalt switch off and do nothing – regularly

8   Thou shalt be boring, untidy, inelegant and unattractive at times

9   Thou shalt not even feel guilty

10  Thou shalt not be thine own worst enemy but be thine own best friend
