2026-03-18T15:23:30-04:00By |Prioritizing|

You started the day with a plan. By 10:00am it was gone. If that pattern is familiar, you have probably also tried some version of this advice: Focus on what is important, not just what is urgent.

2026-01-09T21:35:05-05:00By |Prioritizing|

One of my clients texted me early Monday morning. “National Clean Off Your Desk Day,” she wrote. “DONE.” Her desk really was spotless. No stacks. No stray papers. Only one stapler instead of four.

Texting Isn’t Talking: Reclaiming Human Connection in Business

2025-03-25T15:31:06-04:00By |Prioritizing|

I’ll be honest—sometimes I catch myself firing off a quick “Thanks!” text to a client and convincing myself that counts as staying connected. Just last week, I replied to three client messages with “Sounds good!” while getting in my afternoon walk. That was my big moment of “connection” for the day. Yikes. Over the past few months, I’ve been having a lot of conversations [...]

3 Steps to Overcome the Challenge of More Work Than Time

2024-11-07T14:09:58-05:00By |Prioritizing|

All the business owners I work with face the challenge of having “more work than time”. No matter what they do - they just seem to run out of time by the end of the day. For some, this is a new experience brought on by an employee leaving causing five people to now do the work of six.  Or a large contract vastly [...]

2023-02-07T16:36:18-05:00By |Delegation and Elimination, Prioritizing|

How much time per week do you spend answering questions at work? I’ve recently heard from three different clients who were struggling with the same challenge related to delegating - answering too many questions throughout their day (and as a result, having less time to accomplish important tasks). Let me set the stage. All 3 business owners: Love what they do and are worn [...]
