{Goals} My recap for May

Well, it’s JUNE! You all know what this means? Last night was Goals Night for me! Let’s recap the highlights: I got myself a Fitbit Flex. I’m going to write a post shortly but (surprise, surprise) I love all the stats this thing gives me. This was the first month in 19 years 8 months […]

{Some reading for the weekend} The May Version

On the personal side, I’ve updated my media page. Go have a look. OH, I finally uploaded the video of my feature on SABC TV (a definite life list item!). It’s also on that page. A few lessons: update webpage immediately so you don’t have to wade through emails when you say yes to the […]

{Goals} baby steps or bhags?

We’re at the end of May so I thought I’d check in on you and see how “May is the new January” is working out for you. Did you find comfort and reassurance in starting over with some of your goals? Or do you still feel a bit in the dark, not sure of how […]

{Intentional living} Goals night

I don’t think it’s any great secret that I love goals way too much. Setting them, reviewing them (I wasn’t always great at this part though), getting them, helping others to set and get theirs, etc. I’m working on a new e-course at the moment and so I’ve been reviewing and looking at much of […]

{For bloggers} How I organise photos for my blog posts

My process with photos is to download into folders, process the folder and right there and then, compress the photos and post them to a draft blog. However, this wasn’t working so well because I’d forget that I had all these draft posts and in the moment, sometimes I’d get sidetracked and start messing around […]

{Time Management} Are you getting enough sleep?

I have to tell you about this video of Sheryl Sandberg and Arianna Huffington talking about Ariana’s new book, Thrive. The whole video is great if you have an hour to watch it. (I listened while I tidied and decluttered in my study) The thing I specifically want to talk about is one thing she’s […]

{Time management} A new rhythm to my days

I remember before I had kids people would say things like, “just wait until you have kids. Your sleep patterns change and they never go back to the way they were before”. I’m here to tell you… HOGWASH. I’ve always been a night owl and for the most part, the only reason I go to […]

{Intentional living} realistic memory-keeping

I’m old-school with photos while (I hope) still embracing the technology. I Instagram as much as the next person but I also print photos for real albums. I print holiday (vacation) photos but I also do individual albums for each baby child, one album of them together and a Project Life album. And when the […]
