How often do you procrastinate? Once a month? Once a week? Once a day? Once an hour? Today, I challenge you to NOT procrastinate at all!! Usually, I’m a believer in small steps (“cut your procrastination down in half” or “only allow yourself 60 minutes of procrastination today”), but today is Fight Procrastination Day – and I want you to celebrate in style.

Today - I'm on a search for answers! Over the next few months, as a guest blogger for Get Organised, I'll be examining the pros and cons of multi-tasking. I'm curious . . . What is the most bizarre case of multi-tasking you have ever seen? When do you multi-task? When do you refuse to multi-task? My most bizarre example - watching [...]
This is Self-Improvement month. What a wonderful opportunity to choose one area in your life to work to improve in for the next 30 days. If you could be anything, do anything, accomplish anything – what would it be? Close your eyes – and just dream. What pops into your head? Will you commit to working towards this goal each day [...]
Have you ever reached the end of your day and wondered what you accomplished? Maybe you crossed 10 items off your to-do list, but still felt as if you hadn’t moved forward toward achieving any of your goals.

I had been in business as a time management consultant (well - really as a time strategy visionary) for a short time and knew my website wasn't really "working" for me. But . . .

When it comes to simplifying your life using checklists, routines, and systems are one step in helping you become more efficient. Sometimes you need to create your own system based entirely on your situation and personality, other times you can use a checklist exactly as someone else created it, and every so often you can take a successful system and adapt it to fit [...]
Recently I wrote a post regarding creating and using solutions that take your unique gifts, hopes, dreams, abilities, and strengths into account.
