You know when you wake up in the morning and all the nonsense gets thrown at you before you even get your coffee down? Client issues already?? How many times can my mom text me? Why can no one find their shoes (not to mention the keys)? Who’s turn was it to walk the dog??…
Ya know what you need to do? You need to wake up at 5am to make the most of your day. You also need to shake your booty for 43 minutes to maximize your productivity. And you most definitely need five small meals to get the most energy. How do I know what YOU need?…
If you’ve been doing the stay-at-home thing for a while, at some point you may have been bit by the organizing bug. “Well if we’re gonna be home for this long we may as well make walking room in at least one of the garages or finally donate the clothes circa 1999.” I did the…
The ding, the beep, the buzz. You’re all too familiar with these time-suckers. But even more distracting can be…the people. AmIright?? The people you work with, the people in your company, the people in your family. Their constant interruptions throw you off focus and into the rabbit hole of their needs. A couple of my…
Back in the days when I was a professional home organizer, I had two types of clients. Client #1: Show me how to organize these paper piles and I’ll take it from there. Client #2: Show me how to organize these paper piles, make decisions on each one together, and set up a system that’ll…
I couldn’t touch it. It would take days to figure out. My 2018 taxes were messed up and now…a big, fat penalty. I didn’t know where to begin. The backup? The expenses? The donations? Do I still have my bank statements? Should I track down the accountant? When will I deal with this monstrosity? Crap…this…
People who let go of unfinished things get more done with less stress. No, I’m not suggesting you keep starting projects and not finishing them. But I am saying that if you gave yourself permission to move on from some of your incomplete to-do’s, tasks, and ideas, you’d have a lot more time and energy…
I see it. That task that sits at the bottom of your list every week. You add it to your new list as if it will get crossed off this time around. The fact that it’s been there for so long means there’s some level of fear, dread, overwhelm, panic, boredom, or confusion involved. Here’s…
My 14-year old is a Latin master. It was required for school and now he’s taking it just because he wants to. I don’t get it. I can barely get English to roll off my tongue. But he promises me I could learn it if I wanted to. I mostly don’t believe him, but then…
Have trouble finding the lines? I’m talkin’ those completely blurred ones between work life and personal life. If you’re constantly emailing on the couch, working really late, or just not having clearly defined hours between… ….“this is when I go to work” and “this is when I spend time with my family” and “this when…
