After only a year of thinking about it, talking about it and procrastinating wholeheartedly….today I recorded the first audio for my as-yet-unnamed podcast. To be honest I would have procrastinated some more, except that my wonderful mentor encouraged me to write an editorial calendar for the rest of this year. This week the calendar said Read more
Recently I went on a school ski trip. Now, I’m not a great skier and these were white-out conditions. Beautiful snow, but because of the blizzard we could barely see our knees – let alone the skis under our feet. As a general rule I can cope with not knowing what I’m doing in life Read more
So, the truth is, I’m not always an efficiency queen. Even though my new branding and site (coming soon because thankfully my designer and web guru actually ARE efficiency queens!) would suggest otherwise, anyone who has waited for me to respond to a forgotten text or proofread their work or return a book that I Read more

This morning my nine-year-old son chose to get up at 6am because he wanted to work on his first ever project before school. As I lazed around reading a book and leaving him to it, I was quietly freaking out that he might somehow do something disastrous to my laptop. But when I came out Read more

I work with entrepreneurs and professionals who want to make the best possible use of their time and energy, so they can have more success, more freedom and more money – with less overwhelm and stress Read more
Happy happy new year to you! I hope 2017 has treated you well so far. Thanks for joining me here again. we have so much to talk about. How was your holiday? (I know you’ve probably been asked a gazillion times by now.) It’s great that people care. It can be lovely to bring that Read more
Howdy! I hope you’re feeling fine and dandy as we make the sliiiiiide into holidays. I’ve been rather quiet on this blog recently – I started 2016 with great intentions (don’t we all??) and things didn’t quite pan out as planned. And you know what? That is just fine. Instead of stressing about what I’m Read more
