#0565 Too Much Noise
Having spent just a few days off grid, you realise that most of the day to day communication forced upon you is just noise. Adding almost no value but robbing you of time and focus….

#0564 Get It Done Now
How urgent is it really. Leaving it to the last minute will always increase the stress and urgency of any task. Chasing the ball is exhausting, yet anticipating where it will be makes it look…
#0552 Master Your Time
Why put yourself under that kind of stress? I get that people need deadlines to get things done, but why leave it till the last minute. For me, get 80% done in the first third…
#0534 Commendable Effort
Having DIY’d a ton of my own video over the years and I have come leaps and bounds, or so I thought until I recently worked with a professional videographer. My efforts pale when compared….
#0529 Lower Priorities
What about the rest of the list? If you are always ticking off the top three on your priority list, you will end up with a really long list of other things that never get…
#0528 A Little Bit
Can you afford the 120 hours it will take to get it done? Most of you will say no, too busy to find that much time. What if I told you that is just 20…
#0520 Small Wins
I bet you have a few well intentioned jobs on your to-do list you are reluctant to begin. I wanted to build some shelves for my storage room but before that I needed to paint…
#0518 Simplifying
Is it fear or a lack of understanding? It astounds me how complicated people make things that have little upside. Cobbled together to get something done when a much simpler version is available. Many of…
#0514 Time to Do Better
Just because you disrespect your time, does not give to the right to disrespect others. If you are in the habit of turning up late, canceling last minute, running long, you should take a moment…
#0513 Shoeboxing
The list never gets shorter. Whenever I find myself ticking a few things off the to-do list I will invariably add a few more while I am there. To manage the never ending lists (business…
#0512 Quantity vs Quality
Differentiate from the two. There are times in the day when I am doing three things at once, cruising through my to-do list. Things for the most part that do not require too much brain…
#0511 DIY
At what point should you stop? I have been a DIYer for my entire life. Whether that be at home or in my business. For the most part, I love it. Giving something a try…
#0506 Deep Time
There is always a pull between managing and doing. Sometimes we must check in, comprehend, delegate, guide, question, approve. Other times we must simply do. If I spread my managing meetings throughout the day, I…
#0504 Last Minute Urgent
Your to-do list looks different to mine. My order of priority is unlikely to be yours. Clients will have their own. Just because it is urgent for you, does not make it so for others….
#0498 Dear Diary
Weirdly I love Mondays. The house goes quiet again after the bustle of the weekend and routine kicks back in. I am habitual by nature and a schedule gives me a sense of comfort. When…
#0490 Enslaved
Who controls your time, your most valuable asset? The majority I encounter are enslaved to the whims of others as to when something needs to occur. Meetings, reports, proposals, first drafts, final versions, the unexpected…
#0479 Choose
You will not get more time, make better choices.
#0471 For Meetings Sake
It is excruciating and mostly a waste of time except for the part I came for. My daughters have been dancing for most of their lives and for more times than I can count I…
#0461 Switcheroo
There is plenty of both… Time and money. Whatever you have you choose to either use it or abuse it. Why do something now that can wait until tomorrow. Focus on the things that will…
#0458 Controlled Chaos
Every two weeks or so one of my daughters gives her room a good clean. Puts everything in its place again and it drive me insane. Not the cleaning part, that I applaud. The 13…
