Is that routine still working?
Habits and routines are a great way to simplify your life. What can happen though is that they become unconscious.

Routines take the pressure off

It's been very much a time of, if anything can go wrong with my own time management then it's shown up in all colours this month! Despite my very best intentions, I'm not as good as I think I … [Read more...]
It’s about time and managing the expectations
Daylight savings has ended and for a little while I can enjoy that the mornings are light again. I have to admit though, the changing perspective messes with my head. This week I want to talk about managing time and expectations. Time issues have been showing up for me in many strange ways. Being … [Read more...]
It’s about time – and managing the downtime
The Easter break has been an opportunity to enjoy a four day weekend. Even without going away the glorious weather over this period made relaxing an obvious choice.
