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 […]
How to get started when you don’t want to
Life is full of things we want to do, things we have to do, and things other people want us to do. Often when something falls into either of the last two categories it takes a bit more of a push to get it done. When my clients are feeling really stuck I turn to […]
To learn or download and never touch again?
I coached a client recently who was needing to declutter their Google Drive. The disorganisation and digital clutter was wrecking her headspace and making her feel out of control.
