Nov 4, 2021 | Decluttering, Motivation
“How about a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 2 hours a day decluttering and packing?” I’d been listening to the book Effortless (1) and I was reminded of a useful productivity technique. It’s where you set lower and upper limits of work in order to pace yourself....

I recently gave a Strategic Networking workshop and I noticed that the topic of finding it difficult to speak to people in authority positions often comes up. They said when they are dealing with peers, they are fine but the moment someone more senior is in the room,...

“We don’t have a life in the evenings” I went to a party recently and I was talking to some friends of my friend. We were discussing our kids’ bedtime setup. They said they didn’t have a life in the evenings as they were putting their kids to sleep. We also used to...

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again and again… if only to remind myself. Schedule it, stick it, put it, whatever you want to call it into your calendar. Otherwise, it may never get done. For some people, especially Obligers (1), those who need accountability,...

“I deleted an app” “What’s the big deal? I delete apps all the time.“ I hear you say. It’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it was a big deal for me. I had downloaded a game, I’m not even going to mention the name because I don’t want you to check it...

“Create language that motivates you” At our recent 3 months, 3 goals workshop, we asked the participants to share what they took away from the workshop. One of them said it was the sentence “Create language that motivates you”. Edson said this when one of the...
Sep 10, 2021 | Beliefs, Connection
I recently had a client ask me how having an audio recording would change their beliefs so I thought I would address it in a blog since it was a good question. Let’s say you have had a belief for a while, for example, that you don’t feel as good or as smart as other...
