7 reasons I love organising my reading on Goodreads
I’ve always believed in rewarding myself for doing good work. While I was studying for my matric exams, I didn’t allow myself to read any books so after my last exam was written (18 October 1991 if memory serves me correctly), I started reading again and that’s when I started keeping a list of all […]

Energy management in the form of microbursts
A tiny bit of housekeeping before we dive into today’s post. I want to write a series of time management posts and I know what I have on my list but I’d love to hear your time management questions. I’m particularly interested in big picture questions, not just the “how do I do my email […]

September review and October goals
I said to my husband last week, “I feel like I’ve missed a week this month”. We were specifically talking about how I’d only read two books by the 22nd which is VERY unusual for me. Alas, when I checked my stats, it was correct – I had only read two books. How I […]

Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out on this
I speak a lot about delegating to my clients because I believe in it that much. Your business will just not move to the next level if you’re unwilling to delegate because there’s only so much you can do. I could not do this (imagine me waving my hands about) without the help of the […]

You ask, I’ll answer – on bathroom clutter
Claire writes… I have baskets and baskets of gels, lotions, potions, creams, pastes, and liquids of all shapes and sizes, and need a whole load of space to store them all. (I think she’s an opener a la Gretchen Rubin I’m a finisher. What are you?) It doesn’t help that all 5 of us use […]
