In this article I offer three key distinctions that will make your to-do lists more useful in actually getting things done. Generally people assume that if they’ve written down three or three hundred tasks on a piece of paper or in a digital document – they’ve created a to-do list. Not so fast. The label “to-do list” has become an all-encompassing

Think of this not as it's own system or strategy but a way to discover your own best systems and strategies. Click on the video to discover: The S.P.A. Framework (Self-care, Priorities, and Anchors) that
OK. I'll admit it. There really, truly isn't enough time to do it all. There I said it. But here's my question to you: Why would you want there to be? The way this game of life is set up, you have been given the opportunity each moment to choose how you wish to live. Imagine if that wasn't the case? If we all lived in perpetuity? There
"There just isn't enough time in the day!" "I have too much to do, I will never be caught up!" These are common frustrations I hear. Sound familiar? I tend to get stuck in these patterns of thinking, too. That time is the enemy. That there is never enough and so I always need to be rushing off to the next thing so I can squeeze in as much as
Time. It's a relationship that has frustrated people for ages. Who has the power? Who is really in control? Time or me? Can you really "manage" time? Is time even real? If it's not real why is it such a pain in the ass? Without letting this turn into a philosophical post that would no doubt fascinate me more than you, let's cut to the chase: you can
I had the good fortune to sit down with Brigid Schulte, a wife, mother, award-winning journalist with The Washington Post and the author of her new book: Overwhelmed: Work, Love, Play, When No One Has The Time. In this heavily researched book, Schulte takes us on a journey around the world as she uncovers the roots of why we feel so harried and
Which scenario sounds most like you? Scenario One: You made a to-do list awhile ago but it was so overwhelming you couldn’t look at it again. Mostly, you know what needs to get done because it is screaming the loudest in your brain. Pausing to write tasks down on a piece of paper (that you might lose) feels like a massive waste of time. Mostly likely
“The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything.” ~ Warren Buffet No. What a little word for such a big impact. Saying no can mean the difference between living a life run by other people or one filled with time for your own priorities. Saying no can mean that<br
"Music is the space between the notes." ~ Claude Debussy When I first heard this quote it struck me like a bolt of lightening. You can’t make music without the space between the notes. Of course! What a beautiful distinction. Imagine listening to sounds that were squished together and layered on top of one another in one long cacophony of
Back in the 7th grade I broke my arm during basketball practice. I was terrible at basketball. I tripped while running backwards and soon found myself lying on the gym floor with my head propped against my not-quite-leather jacket (a must-have accessory back in 1992). It didn’t take long for my mom to show up and ask if this was my way of getting out
