How are you slowing down?

I’m keeping the disc.ount code open for the last time today so that if you were distracted last week, you can catch up today on all your favourite products.

Bonus – you don’t have to drive around a shopping mall looking for parking and jostle with hundreds of other shoppers

The code is Christmas and you can access it here.

Aside from all the shopping news, I hope you’re slowing down and enjoying this festive season.

I am on holidays in the Drakensberg and I tell you, it’s a luxury and a real ple...

for the slash-ers, bloggers and entrepreneurs

Today is the last day of the annual sale. So we’re back to regular blog posts and one newsletter next week

The two products I’m highlighting today are for slash-ers like me (full-time job plus a side hustle :)), those who want to make some mo-ney from their blogs and anyone else who has a business.

1. Organise your business

I used to coach so many solopreneurs on the same topics – systemising their business, leveraging their time, working more effectively, etc. that I put it all in a 10-part e-...

do you need more time?

It’s the last two days of the annual Christmas sale these products are 50% off – yay!) and today I’m highlighting another 3 products from my store.

Again, it’s best to get the bundle but if you only need a certain portion, we’ve unbundled them and they’re available separately today.

1. Organise your time e-course

This is a gentle start into managing your time more effectively.

It’s easy to be busy but are you busy with the right things? That’s the question this e-course helps you answer, and find...

your f.r.e.e 2015 goals planner

I’ve put together and attached a resource to help you close out 2014, and start 2015 on the right foot – Let’s do this (a 2015 goals and intentions workbook).

I personally don’t feel like I can properly start the new year til the current one is dealt with – I need to do my annual review, understand why the year happened as it did (!) and then only can I set intentions, goals and make plans to fully move into the new year.

Remember it’s my annual Christmas sale where the products are 50% off, to...

{Organising} Travel with pre-school kids – my 3 top tips

We haven’t travelled internationally with our five-year-old twins yet, but we have travelled with them a lot locally.

We’ve driven to destinations by car and we’ve also flown… and I’ve found that these tips will work for both methods of transport.

Kids are unpredictable so yes, you have to be flexible but there’s a lot of things you can do to make sure they’re comfortable and that can make our lives easier and so I thought I should share things that work for us:

1. Food

We try and keep them eatin...

the home product bundle

Remember it’s my annual Christmas sale (products are 50% off – yay!) and today I’m highlighting another 3 products from my store.

There’s no doubt that it’s more cost-effective to get the bundle but if you only need a certain portion of the bundle, we’ve unbundled them and they’re available today.

1. Organise your home

This is my most popular product ever. People generally like it because we break the house down into little bitty sections so you don’t get overwhelmed and yet you make very steady...

It’s my annual holiday sale

It’s my annual Christmas sale (the products will be 50% off – yay!) and today I’m highlighting 3 products from my store.

(if you’re impatient, you need to use code Christmas and the 50% will be applied at checkout)

There’s no doubt that it’s more cost-effective to get the bundle but if you only need a certain portion of the bundle, we’ve unbundled them and they’re available today.

This is a bestseller. It was put together because 50 of my readers replied to...

{Organising} 15-minute tasks to make you feel like a winner

Yesterday a friend sent me a file she thought I’d enjoy and told me she was clearing up her computer.

What a good idea, I said to myself, so I set my iPhone timer for 15 minutes and decided to tidy up my stuff too.

Within that time, I’d deleted a ton of downloads, printed out 3 pages to try and I also send her two files that she might like to use.

When I looked at my neat and tidy flash drive after that, I felt amazing.

Just goes to show you what you can accomplish in 15 minutes.

If you need more...

{Live intentionally} Nov goals review and Dec goals

Just a few things to highlight this month:

I put all of the 31 days of enough time blog posts into a book, formatted and sent it out to a few people. Yay.
I finally cracked the 6000-step a day mark. For some of you, this is nothing major but it’s the first time since getting my Fitbit that my average is above 6 000 steps. I changed my thinking quite a bit and I think that is what made the difference, so I’ll have to write a post.
On the other hand, my sleep has been super bad. I’m not getting of...
