I was scrolling Facebook the other day and noticed a post from a friend about getting back into a fitness routine. The post showed a schedule of daily at home workouts and classes. A workout and a class every single day. After starting from nothing. How long do you think she maintained this schedule for? […]
Life is busy. We all want to do better but it sometimes it feels like we just don’t have the time. The reality is becoming more productive doesn’t need to be an onerous task. One simple change to your daily routine or a new habit to keep focused can have a major impact on how […]
The biggest shock when I started my first professional job was learning you never get it all done. At university, your to-do list is finite. There are classes and course work. Essays to hand in. Exams to study for. Each of those deadlines pass and you’re done. Sometime in the middle of juggling research and […]
Whether work is getting you down or you’re out of creative ideas for your side hustle, we all get stuck sometimes. It could be a general feeling of malaise. Or the winter blues. Maybe your best friend just moved to the other side of the world and life feels a little empty without your regular […]

Productivity is no different. When things feel out of control or overwhelmed, reviewing key principles and core habits is the […]

There’s definitely a lot to juggle with finishing our last work responsibilities, attending Christmas parties, finding the perfect gift and deciding how to ring […]
Motivation is a funny thing. Elusive. Want it too badly and it tends to disappear. ‘I need to be super motivated today.’ Poof. Gone. It’s fickle. And then frustrating.
