Are you procrastinating or doing the right thing for yourself?
Procrastination… It’s a tough one. And many people say that they have problems with it. Clients come to work with me lamenting that they procrastinate too much and that’s why they get nothing done. But sometimes I’d argue, we’re just not meant to do that thing being procrastinated on’. Ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates and […]
How to get back the sparkle in your life with more balance
I’m often asked about work/life balance and how to get more of it in our busy lives. And it’s no wonder that this is a hot topic. Often when we’re feeling out of balance it can cause a lot of undue stress and overwhelm. Plus life lacks that sparkle that makes all the gruelling annoying […]
