Between Two Kingdoms

Between Two Kingdoms

Posted on June 16, 2022June 14, 2022 by Heather

I recently finished reading the book Between Two Kingdoms, which is a memoir by Suleika Jaouad. It is one of the best books that I’ve read. The story is beautiful (and painful) as is the way she tells her story. It left me with so much to think about and unpack before I can write READ MORE

“Most big, deeply satisfying accomplishments in life take at least five years to achieve. This can include building a business, cultivating a loving relationship, writing a book, getting in the best shape of your life, raising a family, and more. Five years is a long time. It is much slower than most of us would READ MORE

Maintainance Is Better Than Repair

When I was growing up my family had dental insurance that required we get regular check-ups, which were covered by the insurance. They recognized that regular check-ups and cleanings helped to prevent more costly procedures later. The first new car I bought included a warranty that covered routine maintenance like oil changes, etc. because it’s READ MORE

I have several personal and work-related projects going on right now, but publishing these blog posts twice per week is a commitment that I’ve made to you the readers. Yes, I take some time off here and there, but I try to plan for that and this isn’t one of those times. So instead of READ MORE

Another important aspect of the GTD method that I think often gets overlooked is the “Horizons of Focus”. According to Allen, there are six horizons of focus that he explains using a “flying READ MORE

Health and Self-Respect

Posted on May 19, 2022May 17, 2022 by Heather

I was recently listening to an episode of Brendon Burchard’s podcast and he said something that not only caught my attention but honestly startled me because it was so bang-on. He said: “My first point today is health is luck. Dot, dot, dot AND self-respect. “It’s not either/or, it’s both. There are some things that READ MORE
