Want to start your day off on the right foot? Increase your productivity with this easy tip. I have been starting my mornings by setting the timer for 10 minutes and cleaning off my desk and a quick pick up in my office. I can’t believe how it sets the tone for the day. Everything is clearer [...]

I have been happy to be progressing with my outlines and work schedule for a few products that I have been working on. Last night I finalized my work circuit - the plan that I will follow every day to be sure that I follow the basic rules of order and productivity. (a few are planning, [...]

As I have mentioned earlier, we are undergoing some big changes around here concerning my husbands job. He is going to be home more, after 3 years working away, the last 6 months having him home hardly at all. I have already seen a huge difference this past week that he’s been home.

Yet another trip to the dentist yesterday (have been having some work done to repair damage from an injury when I was a kid that needed to be updated) As you know, my new plan is to give myself plenty of time to leave so I don’t have to rush or worry about being late. Well… Here I [...]

Yesterday I mentioned David Allen - author of “Getting Things Done”, and his method of planning - breaking your “to do” list into next action rather than a task list. It may seem like a subtle difference, but the difference is actually huge. The easier we can make it for ourself, the most likely we are to [...]

Have you ever noticed that KAOS seems to come fast and furious, in a bunch? I’ve been dedicating quite a bit of time to getting my computer in shape, my C drive is quite full as was my email, so I’ve been deleting a lot of stuff. So wouldn’t you know it, it was going too well. [...]

Well, today I finally got this travelling thing together. Another trip to the dentist. Best laid plans. I sat down and thought of everything I had to do before hand, gave myself an extra 5 minutes for each one, giving me lots of time to arrive. Then about an hour later my daughter came into the room [...]

A large part of the KAOS in my life comes, ironically, from trying to save time. I’m a total miser when it comes to wasting a single minute. Therefore I can’t stand arriving early to appointments. This single habit of timing everything perfectly so that I will arrive within 5 minutes of an appointment will land me in [...]
