Maybe you need to simplify your life
I’m thrilled at the response to last week’s newsletter. Clearly the subject of taking care of yourself resonated with you. As it should. We really can’t be our best selves if we’re investing no time at all to get the basics right. To get some of the basics in place, you’re going to have to […]

We all need some white space
Happy St Patrick’s Day!

How much sleep do you really need?
I realised as I got into bed at 12:30 am that I’ve been slacking on my bedtime. Yes, I’m a night owl so my natural tendency is to work late because my brain is most awake then. However, I work full-time so I don’t have the luxury of totally living in tune with my body […]

Take care of yourself
Sooooo, I planned out a whole month’s worth of posts and somehow they don’t want to be written. Instead, I feel led to post on other things this month and I’m just going to follow that yielding, if that’s alright with you. I feel like the theme of this month is taking care of your […]

Using your commute wisely

An app to check your sleep patterns
I promised you yesterday that I’d share about an app I’ve been using. First off, this is how it came about. I was very nervous about oversleeping and I vaguely remembered reading somewhere (no idea where) about apps that sound an alarm when you’re between sleep cycles so you don’t feel so groggy when you […]

Are you getting enough sleep?
Tell me, on average, do you know how much sleep you’re getting? Is it enough sleep for you? I’m going to write a post on Friday about a new sleep app I’ve been using and how surprised I am by the results.

{Some reading for the weekend} favourite links
I haven’t done one of these posts for awhile but I want to try sharing some of my favourite time and organising links from around the web. Can I share something, though? I feel reluctant to link to the picture-perfect blogs because I sense that that’s overwhelming for a lot of you and it doesn’t […]

I’m on a mission to organise my home
At the moment, I’m in Cape Town for business…not pleasure… although I’m certainly seeing some friends every evening. I’ve been on a huge mission to organise my home recently. They’re really organising tweaks and some severe decluttering. I’ll share photos of the blog of the times when I actually stopped to take photos before and […]
