How do you think back on your life?
I recently attended a wedding and was chatting to a person from New Zealand. A song came on that we both hadn’t heard of in years and I mentioned that I was in Year 9 when it came out. My new Kiwi friend said ‘Australians seem to do that a lot – know what year […]
How to become more aware of time
I was speaking with a client recently about time blindness. Time blindness is the difficulty (or complete inability) to sense the passing of time.

In September’s Monthly Goal Setting Hour we talked about getting things done. Many members of the group identified that they will schedule things into their calendar but then not do the actual task when it comes time to do it.
