Rethinking the speed at which we do things
I unexpectedly bumped into a new acquaintance of mine recently who apologised for having not responded to a text I’d sent. They said that they felt bad for having left the reply so long and then they felt too bad to reply that and then so much time had lapsed they felt silly. We laughed […]
Why is goal setting so important? Where do values come into time management?
Goal setting is the backbone of everything that you’re working towards. If we don’t know where we’re going, if we don’t know our destination, then we’re just wasting time every day on things that come our way. What I see often is that people focus on what has shown up rather than what they actually […]
Try out your options
I had an eye exam the other day. As the optometrist was asking me which lens was better, Option 1 or Option 2, I was reminded of the power that trying offers us. If you’ve had an eye exam yourself recently, you might recall that towards the end of the exam, when the options are […]

Question For a client you encounter who is overwhelmed with a lot of things to do and […]
I used to dread Mondays. Here’s how I overcame that.
Before I ran my own business I worked in a traditional 9-5 pm role and really disliked Mondays. I’d get the Sunday blues very badly. Like VERY badly. Inner child throwing a tantrum bad. I then started my own business and thought “Great, I’m doing my own thing, doing work I love, helping awesome people, […]
Time Management myths and what are we getting wrong?
Not every productivity method is suitable for your job, type of task, or even your personality. There is so much material out there.
