Simplifying With Fantastical

Simplifying With Fantastical

Posted on December 2, 2021November 30, 2021 by Heather

Early last month I shared a video about the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown. Since then I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s essential and how I can get better at focusing on those things. This past weekend I packed up a bunch of t-shirts (I’m no longer holding on to things that may fit READ MORE

Revisiting a Habit Journal

Revisiting a Habit Journal

Posted on November 23, 2021November 22, 2021 by Heather

Back in early July 2020, I wrote a blog post about the Clear Habit Journal from James Clear that I’d ordered.

I was listening to an episode of the Becoming Better podcast last week and they were talking about email, which got me thinking about my own email habits so I thought I’d share some of them here, in case anything I do might be useful to any of you. I’m going to break this down READ MORE

Put in the Effort Now For Compounded Results

Put in the Effort Now For Compounded Results

Posted on July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 by Heather

A few months ago I wrote about “short-term fixes” and that sometimes you need to patch something quickly to stop water or blood or anger from spilling out of your toilet, body, or relationship. The post ended with: Short-term fixes are meant to be a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. If the toilet continues READ MORE

Preparation vs. Procrastination

Posted on July 8, 2021July 3, 2021 by Heather

I was thinking about doing something about this for the podcast, and I still might, but I felt like writing about it today. I suppose that’s a problem with writing blog posts and recording podcasts.We occasionally get orders from one of those “here are the ingredients and the recipe, this will be easy to make” READ MORE

Quick note: I mention several products in this post. I get nothing from any of these companies. They’re just what I happen to use. I recently listened to an episode of the Becoming Better podcast (Chris Bailey and Ardyn Nordstrom) about “The Productivity Benefits of Capturing Ideas“.

Posted on March 23, 2021March 21, 2021 by Heather

I was planning my day the other morning and trying to figure out how to motivate myself to clean the house, do laundry, and dishes. I feel the same way about things like getting my tax stuff together for the accountant. These are things that need to get done, but I really don’t enjoy doing READ MORE

Give Yourself Time to Breathe

Give Yourself Time to Breathe

Posted on February 9, 2021March 30, 2022 by Heather

The other day my colleague mentioned that she had 30 minutes in her work day that day that had nothing in it, absolutely nothing. She was so happy to have that 30 minutes.
