I recently worked with a client certain there was no way to “find more time” in her schedule. As a radiologist with an incredible load, she is always running from one emergency to another. She is overwhelmed by paperwork and managing staff while trying to balance motherhood, a husband, aging parents, and some semblance of…
Decisions matter. From everything you put in your mouth… To what you say yes or no to… To every time you reach for your phone. Some decisions are simple like tying shoes or pouring coffee. But other, more impactful ones trigger opposing thoughts. Like when your alarm goes off. The Angel on your shoulder says: You know getting up is…
This is the worst. You’re energized and ready to make a solid dent in your to-do list. You sit down with your hot cup of coffee and then this happens. You look at your calendar and see… Back-to-back meetings. Really? All day!? Panic comes over you. Instead of getting excited about what you’ll accomplish in…
Are you an unstructured thinker? Do your thoughts go from a text to a big idea to an errand to a deep-seated feeling…all within a minute? Yes, you are distracted. But it’s beyond that. It’s the way your brain is wired. Your driven and ambitious mind is like a busy crisscrossing freeway. Fast-paced ideas and…
Can you imagine not feeling guilty about what you didn’t get done today? Letting tasks roll over to tomorrow without beating yourself up over everything you don’t cross off. Most people can’t because their worth is tied to their to-do lists. Yet that’s exactly what my client Ashley did. When she came to me she was stuck….
For the first time in ages, you have a day without a pressing deadline. No clients demanding you email them back right away. Even the kids don’t have a surprise event this week. Now that you finally have a minute to breathe, you’ll make good use of the day. So you block your time with…
Ever want to shed a few pounds? Do you surround yourself with donuts, chocolates, candy corn, and ice cream? I’m talking on your desk, by your side, and in your lap. I’m thinking probably not. Makes it hard to not stuff your face with the very things you’re trying to avoid. It’s the same way with…
You don’t have enough time NOT because of… Lack of help. Lack of resources. Lack of hours in the day. You don’t have enough time because… You lack clarity. You don’t know how much to accept given the hours and resources you do have. You don’t know how to focus now or what to focus on…
Raise your hand if this was you in your 20s… There were stressful days here and there but you got by. And now? With so many milestones under your belt… …An established career… …A growing family… …A place in your community… You’re more like… …Treading water…going through the motions…feeling behind…worried you’ll miss something important…overstretched and…
Ever sit down to get your work done, stare at five different projects, and then proceed to do nothing? Used to happen to me All.The.Time. That’s because an overwhelmed mind shuts down. Even when you have the best intentions, even when you know what needs to happen – when you feel overloaded, you can’t take…
