Reality Check: How much time do you really have?
Wishful thinking can sometimes, okay, often, get in the way of a ‘great day’. Great days are subjective and very unique to each one of us. In my experience of helping people with their time management, a great day often comes down to having achieved what it is you feel you should have. And often, […]
Celebrating productivity wins (and how to use this in other life areas)
I was having a conversation with a woman the other day who’d rung me to discuss helping her 16-year-old daughter with studying. At one point she said to me “I can see that she does well in some areas but that she doesn’t apply what went well THERE to the areas that need help.” I […]
The Unspoken Difficulties of Delegating (and Why It’s Important)
I’m working with a client who knew from the beginning of our engagement that delegating was a huge issue for them. It was an issue not only because it was blocking them from managing their time better but also because it was uncomfortable for them to admit that they had underlying trust issues. This is […]
How to get started when you don’t want to
Life is full of things we want to do, things we have to do, and things other people want us to do. Often when something falls into either of the last two categories it takes a bit more of a push to get it done. When my clients are feeling really stuck I turn to […]

Could you be having a better quality time?
My client held their day planner up to the camera during our Zoom session and pointed at their day: “Full, full, full.” It’s something I see a lot when working with clients, overloaded days, wishful thinking that ALL of it is going to get done TODAY. But… it’s not possible! The secret to getting it […]
Getting things done while in Overwhelm
What a year, hey? At the start of 2020 the word ‘lockdown’ wasn’t a part of everyday vocabulary. But now, it’s well understood and is a shortcut for people across the states and world to relate to experiences of COVID-19. Over this time I’ve worked with clients across Australia as states have gone in and […]
To learn or download and never touch again?
I coached a client recently who was needing to declutter their Google Drive. The disorganisation and digital clutter was wrecking her headspace and making her feel out of control. Interestingly, once we sorted it all out and had a look at what was in her collection of files, what became increasingly obvious was that she […]
