Are you over complicating things? It's worth noting here that I'm a whizz at doing this, so you're not alone by any stretch. BUT it is something I've been actively working on, over the last couple of years particularly. When it comes to being able to think through...

Techniques For Effective Time Management
There are about as many different ways to manage your time as there are stars in the sky but some simple ones I find particularly useful in helping me tackle my to do list are: Pomodoro This is the practice of setting a timer for a specific period of time and getting...
What Do You Want To Focus On?
It sounds ridiculously simple, but it’s easy to miss. When you want to get anything substantial done for you or your business, you need to start with what you want to happen. You can’t possibly know what you tasks are most important if you don’t know how each one will impact the bigger picture.

Monkey Mind and Tattoos
That dastardly Monkey Mind can be a naughty little sausage. I’ve certainly had my fair share of ‘Monkey Moments’ in the last week, so it’s apt that this week my focus is on this topic. Just over a week ago I ventured down to see my friend Kym in Leigh-on-Sea for a...

Radiators or Drains?
Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right. Henry Ford said that, and how true it is. Obviously there’s some exceptions to the rule, for example; when I was at school I definitely thought I couldn’t jump over a hurdle. Of course when I actually tried...
Endings, Beginnings & Being The ‘Hollow Bone’
We’re beginning our 3rd week of the new year (already!), so 2017 is swiftly fading into memory as we focus on the months ahead, but it’s important to acknowledge what has been before we blindly rush into the future. It’s time we STOP and re-find ourselves again…
Big Picture Planning
When was the last time you sat down and really looked at the big picture? The big picture for your business (if you have one) and the big picture for your life.
Goals & Resolutions
You’re probably looking back at 2017 and there will be goals you hit and goals you didn’t. Just because you didn’t hit a goal doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make more!
