Lose the Noise in Life

Noise isn’t just the neighbor’s leaf blower or the endless drone of traffic. It’s the uninvited party in your brain: the ping of another “urgent” email, the to-do list that rewrites itself again and again while you’re trying to sleep, the mental sticky notes plastered all over your day. Noise is the constant background hum… Continue reading Lose the Noise in Life

Go Ahead, Make Your Mistakes

Not too recently I was asked what was a current concern in my life. I admitted, “I just don’t want to make any major mistakes.” Have you ever felt that way? Do you ever have this thought? When facing big decisions, new situations, and constant changes?

Getting Focus BACK!

I lost my ability to focus. My mind was overflowing. Too many thoughts swirling in my head. Going in too many directions. Too many things changing in the work and the routine. I was losing sleep. I wanted to do it all, but was getting nothing done. Collapsing upon myself in a state of failure.… Continue reading Getting Focus BACK!

A Place for Everything…

Is your dining room table covered with stuff you haven’t put away yet? A catch-all for things that don’t have their own place? How about the crap in your car’s center console? Or the random trinkets atop your dresser? Or the one-off documents and empty folders in your Google Drive? Or the mess that is… Continue reading A Place for Everything…
