Inbox Zero…Good or Bad?

I've had several clients lately who felt like they needed to get to Inbox Zero with their email. One client said she has that embarrassed tightness in her gut when people give her "a look" because of the number of emails shown on her phone or computer. She feels like she should conform to what society says is "good" - [...]

Good Triggers and Bad Triggers

My life has been full lately - in both the good and bad ways. Everything from covid to an amazing month for my business have reminded me about triggers. First, I'll talk about what I would call the "bad" triggers. These are the things that set us off, also known as the "buttons" that can be [...]

Make Sure Your Time is Really Your Time

Lately I've been struggling to keep up with everything, and I end up dipping into time I had set aside for myself. Can you relate? My suggestion to you (and to me) is to make sure your time is really your time. What I mean by this is to set the boundary that once you put [...]

Do you Suffer From Information Overload?

I don't think it's been listed as a true medical condition yet, but Information Overload is a very real, very unhealthy problem. And I have it. I'll just put it out there. Should I quarantine? Haha. Do you have it? Many of us do, but we don't want to admit it. Information overload is when you [...]

Break It Down to Build Yourself Up

“To accomplish a difficult task one must first make it easy.” - Marty Rubin, Canadian Author   I wasn't sure what to write for today's blog, but the quote above immediately inspired me to think about the huge tasks I've had on my plate lately and how I should be handling them. I have a couple of [...]

Are There Shortcuts in Life?

  I had a great conversation with my client today about people who sign up for programs expecting the "get rich quick" schemes. We were dismayed at the number of people who won't take any action when they realize they've found a program that takes effort and time, even though it will likely create lasting wealth when [...]

Clutter, Clutter Everywhere? Try This!

  I recently had an excellent session with a client. No, she didn't have clutter in the regular sense, but we had some great discussions around mental clutter, digital clutter and those piles that do inevitably accumulate around the house. As we were talking about each item in turn, I realized something that had never occurred to me [...]

The Value of Password Managers

Okay, all cards on the table - I don't have a degree in IT (Information Technology), so the things that I share with you are from my experience over 10 years of working with folks on their computers. I think this fact actually helps me to better serve you because I'm not trained in all [...]

Oh, Time – What an Amazing Thing

I have to tell you - I have been stinkin' busy for the last two months! I am so grateful for my wonderful clients and the new opportunities I've been a part of, but I'm tired! I know you get it. So, why am I telling you this? Because I wanted to ruminate on [...]

Lose Your Limiting Beliefs

For the last 3 months, I've been working with a life coach. I find that the accountability and connection of having someone "hold my hand" when I'm trying to make significant changes in my life is essential. One of the things we've worked on is limiting beliefs. For those of you who aren't familiar [...]
