Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, we looked at productivity, setting boundaries, and understanding more about ourselves. I hope there are a few that connect with where you currently sit in your journey.
Parkinson’s Law. The first post of the week starts with the concept of Parkinson’s Law – that we will fill the time available for any activity.
Policies Support Boundaries. Sometimes we all struggle with setting boundaries in our life. This post looks at how we can create personal policies that support boundary setting.
Who Am I? This post continues to challenge us to think beyond our title and company we work for. When introducing ourselves, how can we lean on our character and qualities over our title?
The Disc Assessment Overview. Another popular self-assessment is the Disc. This post provides an overview of what you will learn and links to the assessment online.

One Shade Greener
This week, the sustainability post – Plastic Free July – describes why going plastic free is important and what you can do to get started on the journey.
