Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy! Personal Development This week is an eclectic mix of posts that cover confidence, productivity, and self-care. Confidence to Stand Out. This first post of the week takes a lesson from the flowering spring trees who aren’t afraid...
Schedule = Comfort or Anxiety?
Someone recently asked me the question: Does a full schedule give you comfort or anxiety? I found the question thought-provoking. My Perspective As I began to consider the question, I realized the answer is “it depends”. With a full calendar of meetings that others...
Bits of Time
You know the situation. Waiting in line. Arriving early for an event. Sitting through a child’s practice. The moments where we have time open and no plan. We tend to fill this time without intention. Scrolling social media, listening to music, or just doing nothing....
Purposeful Self-Care
This morning, I listened to an Optimal Living Daily podcast titled “The Weight of Emotional Clutter”. The concept reminded me of a post from earlier this year titled “Clutter Blocking Your Wellbeing”. In this post, I looked at how clutter could show up in all 8...
Longer Days
As the daylight hours get longer, I start to feel like I have more time to get things done. More energy. More drive. There has always been “spring cleaning”, but this is broader than cleaning my spaces. So, I did a bit of searching to see if there is a connection....
The Confidence to Stand Out
I love spring. Longer days. Warmer weather. The world is turning back to color. Every year, I take photos of the flowers and flowering trees. I have so many. They make me happy. Yesterday, I noticed something else about these beautiful flowering pops of color. They...
Weekly PodList & Summary – 5.4.24
Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy! Personal Development This week, the focus is on productivity. Sometimes we are busy. Sometimes we are productive. Often, we confuse the two. These posts help us understand and sort out the differences. To Do List...
We Move What We Measure
I’ve always been driven by measurement. Targets are an indicator as we move toward a goal. If we need more sales, plan strategies & tactics and track sales. If we want to increase our email list, consider how to do that and measure to see if it’s working. The list...
Exploring Productivity
Earlier this week, we established that busy and productive are not the same. We likely all concluded that we would rather be productive than busy. That sounds easier than it really is. We need to push against the enemies and embrace the friends of productivity....
The Downside of Habits
I’ve always been a fan of habits… at least the good ones! Grouping habits into routines is even better. These habits and routines keep us on track to meet our goals. Yet, I was reminded yesterday that the best habits are unconscious. We do them automatically without...
Busy is Not Productive
When asked “how are you?”, the response of “busy” is a common crutch. Many people seem to use it as a quick proxy for being productive and working hard. What is the Difference? So, I decided to look up how others define the difference. Here are two examples:...
To Do List Alternative
Today, I listened to an episode of the Lazy Genius podcast. The host suggested we shift our perspective on a to-do list and instead create two lists: The have-to and hope-to list. This helps us realize what is not optional and yet we don’t lose sight of what we want...

CEO of Our Home?
I’ve read articles from Forbes to small companies that cover the topic of being the CEO of your Home. Lisa Woodruff also talks about this concept on her podcast – Organize365. The concept is interesting and underlines how our responsibilities at home mirror those in a...
Perceptions
Our personal brand is all about how we are perceived by others. What do they say when we aren’t around? How do our skills, actions, and attitudes align? What message do we communicate. Sometimes we can tie ourselves in knots trying to figure out how to express our...
