I get the privilege to speak in front of an amazing group of people this week. While I was visiting home over Thanksgiving, I racked my brain trying to think of the “right” opening that would grab this audience’s attention. So… I blocked out time “to think.” I blocked out time “to write.” I blocked out time…
It’s that time of year again — the holidays! And I’m betting you’ve got a ton on your mind. A lot of things to take care of, a lot of people to please, and a lot of places to go. And being the ambitious go-getter you are, you’re probably starting, or thinking about, how to manage all…
Without a doubt the most powerful change I’ve made in the last couple years to turbo-boost my productivity and massively plummet my stress is to create: My morning routine. Once I shifted from “what I fell into” between the kids, work, and my own habits to what I “intentionally created,”…holy moly! My whole life…
When it comes to goals like, losing weight, managing your finances, or taking control of your time, have you found yourself thinking: “I know what I SHOULD be doing, but I don’t do it.” If you KNOW you should be eating less and exercising more, If you KNOW you should be tracking your expenses,…
Does your day ever go like this? You need to take care of a task you’ve been procrastinating for ages, so you do the right thing. You block time on your calendar to get it done. You’ve scheduled it for 2pm. 2pm comes around, you completely ignore your reminder and you move it to the…
Like you, I’m an over-achiever. Always taking on more than I probably should. Wanting to do my best, because that’s just how I’m wired. But when you’re juggling multiple projects, tasks and to-do’s, it can feel like nothing is getting done as well as you wish it could. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed before…
You know when you get super psyched about a new goal? Like, you see a photo of the “old you” and right then and there you declare: “I’m getting in shape tomorrow!” You pull out your old Weight Watchers brochure or download MyFitnessPal. You study the gym schedule and pick your 5am class. You throw…
“What. Happened?!” I was SO frustrated with myself yesterday. Running around doing all the things, checking stuff off the list, responding, reacting — getting everything done. And on my drive to pick up the kiddos I had an utterly annoying revelation. I had no idea what I’d gotten done all day. Like I really couldn’t think of…
Doesn’t it feel great to be super responsive? So gratifying to send an immediate “yes!” to your client about that meeting. Or the first to report on your favorite movie in that Facebook group. Or to “like” that tweet immediately after you get an alert about it? If this is you my friend, consider yourself…
You know who you’re least accountable to? You. Want proof? When was the last time you told a friend you’d meet them at a restaurant and you just didn’t show up? When was the last time you told your child you’d pick them up at school and went shopping instead? When was the last time…
