the unsexy side of productivity

If success and productivity are important to you… Sometimes you have to learn to like what you hate. Here’s an unsexy but highly profitable thing that I hated. Numbers. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a mental shutdown with them. And I hate hating them. I know how deeply important numbers are to…

I’m not a dream killer

The amount of effort you put into something doesn’t determine its worth. In fact, sometimes what you work so hard to create, is what you need to let go of. I learned this when I transitioned my business. I worked my butt off to start and build my professional home-organizing business. Yet after a few…

how to stop overpromising

I’m more of a fall decluttering than spring cleaning kinda gal. Kids are out mostly of the house, everyone’s back on routine. Just feels like a good time to cleanse.

do you have weekend privilege?

You do not have to burnout to get what you want. I fully believe this. So when I suggest to clients to put in limited time on the weekends to make progress on goals or to plan, they’re sometimes taken aback. “I’ve worked so hard all week, I just want the weekend off.” This is…

know what you ought to do?

No matter how much you have to do, without a plan, you’ll end up wasting time. After you run around from client to client. After you answer emails. After you take care of emergencies… You’ll finally have some breathing room. And you won’t know what to do. You’ll have a two-hour window where you could…

this totally set me back

I’m not a big fan of cooking. Which is why I love shortcuts. Last week I tried a recipe that called for cooking the sauce and the chicken separately. I wanted to get it done fast, so I dumped everything into one pan. No surprise, it came out mushy, sticky, and unappealing. Worse off, it…
