3 ways to enjoy the holidays

I am exactly like a lot of you – so anxious to get to the next thing on the list that I move too fast to enjoy it all. I think it was Albert Einstein that said if he had an hour to save the world, he’d plan for 55 minutes and take action in […]

Two questions for December

I always say that if you’re not used to setting goals, to choose just 3 things you want to get done in a month. This month is going to be busy for everyone so I have just two questions for you - Which one thing, outside of the things that will tick along anyway (usually […]

Weekend to-do list :)

What’s on your to-do list this weekend?

My eat the frog notebook and a notebook giveaway

Remember how I always talk about eating the frog? If you’re a member of my newsletter list, there’s an eat the frog form in your welcome pack. However, I’m probably getting too old or something… but more and more I feel the need to simplify. How this translates is that while I love printables, I’m […]

Break out of overwhelm

Hi Periods of overwhelm are completely normal in our lives. Hopefully they only last for a week or two (like an annual deadline at work, exams, etc) but other times it seems like you’re living in the overwhelm with no true and complete end in sight (living situation changes – new job, addition of a […]

Marcia’s annual filing

So, friends, I have a confession – I haven’t done filing in over a year! Granted, I don’t like to do my filing more frequently than every 6 months, but this is really bad. I’m posting these photos as motivation so I can actually tackle that pile and do it this weekend What’s […]

Write your medical issues in a separate little daily planner so that you know exactly what happened when. Great for gynae appointments, regular monthly happenings, when you get a cold, stomach flu, etc. The […]

{Organising} My 2014 diary

I finally went to buy my 2014 diary on Saturday. This is very late in the year for me – normally I get mine in August when they first appear Nevertheless, it was so easy this year because I’m kind-of hooked on these Legami diaries. They’re like Moleskins but far, FAR nicer to the touch […]

On being a finisher

I recently wrote a post on this blog about being a finisher. At the time I didn’t have a photo to show you but now I do. In fact, I had three tubes in the same state when this photo was taken Do you do this with your creams, or do you just toss them […]

Put your goals back on track

I am an unashamed goal-setter. Some people don’t like to call them goals so call them whatever you like. I like to think about them as things you want to be, do or achieve. I’ve been setting and achieving goals for 15 years so I have just a little bit of experience in the area. […]
