CAN YOU KEEP UP?

Staministas: turbocharged women with the kind of voltage that could solve the energy crisis—working, playing, juggling careers, families and endless engagements.

What fuel are they running on—and do you have it in you? Take our quiz and find out:


1. Which of the following sounds better to you?
A day packed with activities from morning to night, with little time to catch your breath.
A busy day that starts or ends with 5–20 minutes of meditation, so you stay balanced and calm.
2. What is a regular dinner like for you?
I try to eat a balanced meal by 8:00.
I pick something up on my way home—sometimes I don't eat until late.
3. How often do you exercise?
Very little or not at all.
I try to get in some kind of exercise several times a week.
4. When situations become difficult, what do you do?
When I hit a wall, I often become depressed and give up.
When things get tough, I change my focus and adapt to move on.
5. Which describes your lifestyle better?
I work hard, but I definitely deserve my time off.
My work is very important, and it's hard to find time to take a break or a vacation.
6. Who is there for you when you're stretched to the limit?
I mostly rely on myself; I don't like to burden my friends with my problems.
I have friends and family to lean on when I need them.
7. How do you feel about what you do for a living?
I'm okay with what I'm doing. I put in my time and bring home a paycheck.
I really feel like I'm doing what I was meant to do.
