Last week I trained at a stellar company on optimizing schedules and calendars. We covered a lot of material, including how to plan your time effectively and pivot when things don’t go as planned. But one of the biggest breakthroughs happened in a breakout session. People realized that they were too available. Which means they…
It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me. I’ve been in a self-reflection mode. I’m taking a good, hard look at where I’m investing my time and energy and doing what aligns with my goals. My business evolved in 2024, particularly in the last few months. I have two big changes to announce. Number…
I get pumped just thinking about you taking control of your time and habits. That said, to create a feeling of order and success — to shift your habits and make progress every day towards your goals — you need to stop doing certain things, PRONTO. If any part of you hopes for better results, commit to…
Eight years back, I was stuck. Technically my own boss in charge of my time. But in reality, I was working harder and longer than ever. Treading water each day, drowning in the minutia and so-called “emergencies.” Officially on a treadmill: constantly moving…but barely making movement. There were a bunch of factors holding me back;…
Feel like your to-do list is a never-ending beast? No matter how many tasks you tackle, there are always more. It’s like having a drill sergeant in your head, barking orders: “Go, go, go!

Ever look at your daunting list and feel paralyzed? What do I focus on? How do I prioritize? You’re tempted to knock off the easy things first. This seems like the logical way to build momentum. The problem is you get sucked into menial tasks that drain your energy. You end the day feeling like…
You always know what to do. Even when you have a hundred thoughts dominating your mind. It comes down to taking responsibility. Taking responsibility is the difference between knowing why you aren’t using your time well and what to do to use your time well…or not. When your result is something you can’t control… When…
Newsflash. Everyone procrastinates. Yes, even your friend who runs marathons, is on six committees, and finishes their taxes two months ahead. I promise you, they procrastinate on tasks you don’t see. No one is exempt from putting things off. This is why you should NOT self-proclaim as a procrastinator. Just like you don’t walk around…
I get it. You have 101 things on your list and everything is important. I can’t tell you if your system or strategy work is more important. I can’t tell you which of your client issues is more important. But I can tell you this. Prioritizing isn’t hard. Making a decision is. There will be plenty…
