How simple can you make it

Sometimes when working on projects or ongoing tasks, we can lose track of where we are up to. I find that this happens with clients and for myself as well. When we’re plugging away at something, we need to look up every so often to remember where we’re heading and what the point of it […]

Is your sleep helping your productivity?

Self-care, rest, and sleep are the unsung heroes of productivity. Often these three basic human needs are brushed aside in our fast paced world because they don’t correlate directly to output.  And because their connection to our productivity is not very obvious, they are the first things to go when someone finds that they have […]

The importance of the right calendar view

I coached a client recently who was working off of their day to a page paper planner. They’d used this planner for years and they claimed that it worked and it was how they got things done. The question was though, why was it stressing them out so much then? My client said to me […]
