For Your Listening Pleasure - Podcasts I’m Listening To

For Your Listening Pleasure – Podcasts I’m Listening To

Posted on July 1, 2021June 30, 2021 by Heather

As we head into long weekends in Canada and the U.S. I thought I’d share some ideas for podcasts you may want to check out: Becoming Better – this is by writer Chris Bailey (The Productivity Project and Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction) and his wife Ardyn. While you may not be READ MORE

How Do I Keep Track of All This Good Stuff My Brain Generates

How Do I Keep Track of All This Good Stuff My Brain Generates

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

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“. Today (the day I’m writing this) this idea READ MORE

The Games We Play

The Games We Play

Posted on January 28, 2021January 25, 2021 by Heather

I’ve always been competitive, both with others and with myself. I was a really good softball player. When I was about eight-years-old I had an almost perfect batting average on my team and I loved to hit. I’d learned playing baseball in the street with my older brother and his friends. During one game I’d READ MORE

Making Big Decisions

Making Big Decisions

Posted on July 14, 2020July 13, 2020 by Heather

For the past almost two years, when faced with a big decision, there’s been one big factor that took precedence over anything else. In fact, in many cases, it was the only consideration when making big decisions.  Could this potentially be harmful to my mental health? While this is still the most important factor, I’m READ MORE

‘Tools’ That Help Me Be a Better Me

‘Tools’ That Help Me Be a Better Me

Posted on July 9, 2020July 16, 2020 by Heather

I’ve written before about using the GTD method and about using Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Planner. I’ve also explained that I used an app called Omnifocus for several years to track my projects and “to-dos”. And I’ve warned you that I’m prone to following shiny objects.  While Omnifocus was vital while I was struggling through READ MORE

My Quest For The ‘Right’ Planner Revisited

My Quest For The ‘Right’ Planner Revisited

Posted on March 3, 2020March 2, 2020 by Heather

A recent post was about the results I’d gotten from telling people that I wanted to launch a podcast. It’s obviously not just enough to tell people about my goals. I can’t expect them to do the rest,  I have to take action and to do that I need to focus on what those actions READ MORE

Experimenting to End 2019

Experimenting to End 2019

Posted on November 14, 2019November 14, 2019 by Heather

In the past couple of weeks I’ve obtained a couple of, well let’s say nifty things that I’m going to try out to help me end 2019 and start 2020 on the right foot. While in Kananaskis, Alberta to give a half day workshop a couple of weeks ago I made an impulse purchase in READ MORE

Changing Times Calls for Changes in Planning

Changing Times Calls for Changes in Planning

Posted on April 7, 2019April 7, 2019 by Heather

Note, I’m going to mention a few products in this post. I do NOT receive any form of compensation from any of the producers, distributors, etc. of these products. One of the first posts that I wrote for this blog was about the custom planner that I use. What I included in my paper planner READ MORE

The Four Laws of Creating Good Habits

The Four Laws of Creating Good Habits

Posted on December 5, 2018December 5, 2018 by Heather

A few days ago I finished reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. I definitely recommend it. He gives some solid, practical tips throughout the book that I think most of you reading this can pull something useful from. Also, if you’ve read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, I think you’ll really enjoy this READ MORE

Habits On This Journey

Habits On This Journey

Posted on November 19, 2018November 19, 2018 by Heather

Up until this point I have written a blog post pretty much every week, with the exception of taking some time off over the Christmas / New Years holiday season last year. I’ve tried to be diligent about this, but last week chaos reined. My parents still live in the house that I grew up READ MORE
