What Can I Blog About? 17 Ways to Remove Blogger’s Block

    I know what it’s like. You’re all fired up to tick off “write blog post” from your to-do list, so you sit at the keyboard, hands poised and … your brain is fried. Empty. Random thoughts and ideas might jump in and be dismissed as rapidly. Nothing sticks. No idea seems good enough. The deadline approaches for you to post. If this sounds familiar, I just faced it too on another blog. So I resorted to Auntie  Google to come up with some solutions for me! There is a surprisingly wide range of input from other bloggers so I though I’d… Read More »What Can I Blog About? 17 Ways to Remove Blogger’s Block

    Sneaky Productivity Technique Just For You

      Still feeling out of control with all you have to do? Still wondering how you’ll ever get everything done? Wondering how come you’re the only one who can’t achieve stuff? Surprise! You’re not alone. I know that to do list is huge. In fact if you were really a doer- then your to-do list has a to-do list! Me? I have a pile of to-do lists 🙂 But you know what? They are not important. Your “not to do list” is more important according to Jim Collins, and I kind of agree with him. Hey, he’s been a lot more… Read More »Sneaky Productivity Technique Just For You

      Overwhelmed By Too Much To Do?

        It’s okay: you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. It’s not your fault that there seems to be so much to do. The reality is though that nothing will change unless you do. Next time you feel overwhelmed, try this: Close your eyes and think about that familiar sense of overwhelm. Notice where you feel it in your body. Is it tension? Is there a colour? Is there a shape?  What feeling or fear lives in that space? Recall the earliest time you can remember having that feeling.  Come back to your current age and looking back at that earliest age, what… Read More »Overwhelmed By Too Much To Do?

        Change. Courage. And Fear. What Drives You?

          In my other life, I run Personal Development programs. Rather than one-hit motivational moments I conduct a three-month behavioural change program. So I’ve learned a thing or two about the human condition over the ten years of doing this. One of the things I’ve found is that it takes courage to change your circumstances. To step outside your comfort zone. To say, “to heck with this – I can’t keep putting up with this – something has to give!” Amazing things happen. And the most amazing thing to happen is the acceptance of personal responsibility and power to create change.… Read More »Change. Courage. And Fear. What Drives You?

          Meet Your Committments Head On

            In your enthusiasm you often say “yes” to things. That’s a good thing. If you commit to something, do the thing. That means planning ahead and being ready ahead of time when you can. Not ‘getting ready’, but actually ready. Allow for things to go wrong, things to come up, priorities to shift. Build that comfort factor into your plans. When you commit and don’t deliver you not only disappoint yourself you also disappoint those relying on you, mand your fans. And at the end of the day, there are no excuses. You either do. Or not do. If you… Read More »Meet Your Committments Head On

            Productivity: Remember The Milk!

              I am loving RTM.

              I will admit it now. I am a list-maker. I am a BIG list-maker. I make mega lists and they get so big I get overwhelmed and get lost in the volume of what has to be done when.

              Robert Plank has tried to get me to stick to the FOUR THINGS philosophy.

              I’ve tried lots of to-do list systems, the egg-timer method, the pomadoro technique, Getting Things Done and all types of productivity systems like Franklin Covey, Priority Management and more.

              Here’s what I know: ALL the systems work. It’s just that we (I) do not work the system! And hence we get out of control quickly, forget things, procrastinate, end up in a time crunch and don’t get enough done. You know the story.

              Well, I rediscovered Remember The Milk after flirting with it years ago. And IRead More »Productivity: Remember The Milk!
