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…
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…
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…
Ever feel like you’re on a treadmill? Always moving but not really making movement? Like, no matter what steps you take, you can’t quite move the needle. Plus, you have a rocky year or two and you battle setbacks, overwhelm, and stress. I’ve seen too many business owners going through this recently… I can change…
I vowed that after my vacay I’d be at my personal best. Re-energized and full of gusto. “Bring it on world. I’ll make this the most incredible month yet.” And then it happened. It took me by surprise, slowly lurking on the sidelines. And then BAM…right in my face. Everywhere I turned, “it” was there….
Ever had this thought on a Sunday night? “I’m the worst. I had this whole weekend and instead of cleaning out my basement, running errands, and getting a jump start on this week’s presentation, I sat my lazy butt on the couch and binged watched Top Chef. I’m such a failure!” If that’s you, let…
Do you constantly overestimate how much you can get done in a day? Then, what you don’t cross off your to-do list, makes you feel like a failure. You think there’s something wrong with you. Like you’ll never catch up. Which means you stay in scatteredness. And the self-sabotaging cycle repeats the next day. Totally…
Question for you. Where do you keep all your lists of all the stuff you need to get done? Are you relying on sticky notes, backs of envelopes, planners, and journals? Or maybe like a lot of women I work with you have different notebooks for different projects. Or multiple tabs on separate spreadsheets. Whatever…
Do you put in lots of hours but not get the results you want? There’s a difference between working hard and creating value. Sometimes what you think you need is not what gets you results. What if you changed your thinking to… To get balance, space, and time, I don’t need to DO more. I need to…
What if time management or organization doesn’t come to you naturally? Maybe your desk looks like it’s been hit by a bomb or you’re drowning in emails and you think “why didn’t I inherit the organized trait?!” I have good news for you. It can be learned.
