What to do with all those notebooks that are full of ideas?
Do you take notes? During meetings? During client calls? During presentations? During courses? When making appointments? Maybe you doodle while speaking with friends and family? And what do you do with those notes afterwards? During a session recently, a client of mine laughed that she has many ‘Maybe Never Do Notebooks’. They give her anxiety […]
How to prioritise where to spend your money
This blog post was prompted by a question a fellow small business owner asked me during a virtual coffee. I wanted to write up the transcript of our call because it is so relevant to anyone seeking to engage hired support in their life. I don’t often write about money in relation to time management […]
How simple can you make it

The power of Body Doubling
