Techniques and strategies to maximize your time using electronic and paper calendars.
I hear it so often: "I don't have enough time in the day to get it all done!"

You have a job, family, volunteer work, and, and, and, and ... You will continue to [...]
"I know I procrastinate, but it's for the benefit of my clients. You see, I do my best work under pressure." Have you ever said (or thoughts) something similar to this?

AND - this is certainly true. (Read more about [...]

Goal Setting. Do you set goals? If you do, are they long term? Short term? A combination? At the beginning of each year I set goals. Sometimes, I also revisit these goals around my birthday in June. But, on a day-to-day strategic level, I don't necessarily put much focus on my "big goals". AND . . . until taking the Holistic Time Coaching class [...]
Congratulations on surviving the holiday season and end of the year "busy-ness". If you had the opportunity to read any of the previous 9 "have a stress free end of the year" posts, hopefully you were able to do more than just “survive” - and instead THRIVED!!! You may be wondering why I created a post about creating a stress-free end of the year [...]
