April 30, 2012 – Are you constantly playing catch-up? In your life? In your work? Is it forcing you in some instances to simply do what will get you by? Are things you really want to be doing getting put off as fires must be put out, immediate obligations must be met, and frustration continues to mount? Nothing is more depleting and defeating than feeling like you will never see the light at the end of that ever-flowing funnel of to-do’s. Have you considered that perhaps you are creating...

June 13, 2011 - No time to breathe on weekends? Are Saturday and Sunday used for replenishment and fulfillment OR are your weekends filled with endless to-do’s, honey-do’s, and must-do’s instead of want-to’s and can’t-wait-to-do’s? Is Saturday morning spent catching up on household duties, bills, and a long list of shoulds? Are you more focused on getting caught up than spending time catching up with loved ones or friends? Does the idea of having any weekend time to yourself seem...
