We've all been there. We set aside 2 hours to work on a BIG, IMPORTANT, AWESOME project, only to realize that there are only 15 minutes left of that 2 hour block. So, we say, "I'll work on that tomorrow, I don't really have time to get into it today." Then tomorrow comes - and "life happens" - and again, you don't have time [...]
It's the end of October. The leaves turn colors, the temperature drops and ... retailers get the jump on the holiday season. Yes, I know, we all complain about this very early emphasis on Christmas and the other winter holidays, but think about it ... they may not be entirely wrong! No matter what holiday (or none) you celebrate, the mid-winter season is usually [...]

Many of my clients share with me that they underestimate the amount of time a task will take to complete. As a result, they are “off-schedule” by noon.

Time management is a journey. Sometimes all you can do is keep your head above water. Other times, you are sitting in your boat - but not yet prepared to sail. And sometimes - you are in the "and them some" phase. The period of your life when you are ready for more. You are ready to do more than just survive. You are [...]

Welcome to the next post in the "Teacher as Student Series" where I share my new awareness with you regarding my learning when I was a student in the Holistic Time Coaching class taught by Julie Gray and [...]
Usually I set my goals for the year during the first week of January. I use the phrase "set my goals" somewhat loosely. Usually, this is a task that "needs" to be marked off my to-do list. So, I look at last years goals, adjust the completion date on some, cross a couple off (either I accomplished them - or they are no longer [...]
As I look at my to-do list today - I wonder . . . what would happen if I didn't accomplish any of the items on it? Are these tasks really important? Will completing them get me closer to my goals? OR Are these just "things to do"? One of the traps that my clients fall into is the belief that because a task [...]

What are you grateful for? How often do you "hit pause" and actually think about it? In a recent session with a client, she began designing her action plan for the next week. She was deciding which area she wanted to apply extra focus and effort: delegating or scheduling or estimating her time or email management or energy management (these were only a few [...]
