Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week the posts cover time and energy management, organizing our life, and managing the occasions when we find ourselves with “more” time.
Personal Operating System. The first post of the week asks us to consider the systems we have in place to make our lives run day-to-day.
Accountability. This short post has us consider how we hold ourselves accountable and how sometimes meetings are used to ensure accountability.
Managing the Cliffs. We talk about not having enough time, but less about gaining additional time – less caregiving responsibilities, retirement, etc. This post has us consider more time.
Monday Energy. It may seem odd to have Monday energy the focus of a Thursday post. However, what is really covered is the concept of managing our energy across our workweek.
Managing Multiple Projects. This can be a challenge for many – including myself. This last post of the week provides an idea on how to better control all the spinning plates in your life/work.
One Shade Greener
This week, the sustainability post – Butterfly Garden – describes how to create a beautiful space in your backyard that will be enjoyable to watch and protect the environment at the same time.
