Helllo!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 If you’re one of us who went through the switch back to Standard Time from Daylight Savings Time last weekend, I hope you’re dealing well with the shift. Every year I feel surprised by the change, by how dark it gets SO early. Ugh. Try to take advantage of the daylight when you can; making time for a quick walk outside during the working day is one of the best productivity hacks there is, as well as being good for your health and soul. Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury;…

Hey there! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you had an amazing week and a chance over the weekend to rest up, recharge, and reconnect with yourself to prepare for the week ahead.

Halloween represents the transition from harvest…

Trying to fight your way out of it isn’t always the most effective way; sometimes you just need to go with the flow. Make the time for the most important things, and learn to let some stuff go. It’s a key skill to have in today’s working world, but it is never easy. Anyway, here’s the usual 3 things for you: A brief article; this week…

Hello everyone!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve had an amazing week and an incredible beginning to your autumn. I suspect you can relate, but mine has been incredibly busy. Note that I am not saying this to complain; being busy is a good thing. If I compare it to being bored, I know I’d prefer to be busy. You can re-frame the term ‘busy’ to mean ‘a lot of interesting stuff happening in your life’, which is how I try to look at it. (And no, I am certainly not always successful at doing that!) 😁 But of…
