Finding the balance between relaxation and productivity

It’s my birthday this week!! Woo hoo! I love birthdays. Made it another year! Woo hoo! Feels good to reflect and think back on the year that was. All that I’ve learnt and all that I’ve experienced. Some don’t get as many years as I have and for that I’m very grateful.   Last year […]

The best time to set goals for yourself

I work holistically with people… to better improve their relationship with time. Holistically means that we acknowledge that we don’t leave our personal life at the door the moment we go to work.

Why knowing yourself is a great time management skill

At the start of every month, I have a ritual… of looking back over the month before and entering details of what I did, where I went, and who I saw on a wall calendar. I’ve been doing this for a good while now, since early 2000. It’s a great way to manage memorabilia (I […]
