Does Your Brain Have an Oil Leak from Mind Clutter?

Posted on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 06:39

Recently I heard Lorin Beller Blake, of Big Fish Nation http://www.bigfishnation.com say that unfinished bold actions are like the oil leak in the Gulf:  energy sucking and energy wasting.  On the other hand, completing a big, bold action is a huge energy boost.  What makes us mentally imitate that notorious oil leak?
 

A bold action is something we need to do or should do, but because of procrastination or fear we hesitate to take the next step.  To learn more about bold action

Wearing My Clients' Shoes...

Posted on Fri, 05/14/2010 - 23:08

I saw myself in my clients’ shoes Sunday evening. I was working in my yard. You may have noticed I have been doing that a lot, trying to tame the jungle. Anyway, I had a project planned to clear an area for a lettuce bed (although it may almost be too late to plant lettuce), but instead I was weeding. I started listening to myself and the conversation was going like this – “This isn’t what you planned to do. Go back to the lettuce project. But these weeds are so easy to pull up…This isn’t what you planned…..

Does Your Time Management Go Out the Window When You are Stressed?

The other day, I had a really good day working with a client rescuing a room in her home. It did involve over 3 hours of drive time, so all in all, it was a long day. To top it off I had a one hour Mastermind Call and a one hour teleseminar, plus email to do. I could have skipped the Mastermind Call or the class, but was determined to plow though.

Reduce Stress and Improve Health with a Sharpie

Posted on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 05:13

I’m sabotaging stress with my Sharpie!  To reduce stress and take care of my health, I’ve made a commitment to do an exercise routine and walk regularly each week.  Frankly, it’s been a hit-or-miss effort.  I even bought stars to paste on a calendar to keep me on track, to no avail.


What is finally working for me is to make a mark on my makeup mirror with a blue Sharpie each time I walk.  I love seeing those lines add up, and, because they wash off, I start with a clean “slate” each week.

Time Management When Children Are at Home

Posted on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 07:01

Did I have a big reminder of how little you get done with a 2 year old at your feet!  My granddaughter Ava and I were spending some special time together.  By 11 o’clock I finally had the kitchen cleaned up. I had a big laugh when I thought about what I teach on procrastination. You may have heard me use the illustration about emptying a dishwasher – a 3 -5 minute project, so Do It Now!  Make that an hour project or more when you have a little one helping, interrupting, and causing you to stop and play. About the time the kitchen was cleaned up it was time to start lunch.

Time Blocking and Stress Management

Posted on Thu, 11/26/2009 - 06:33

Sometimes I create my own stress by being guilty of “one-more-thing-itis”, and so, I’m often panting as I race out the door. The solution is to divide my time into blocks to organize my day.  Here’s an example of how it can work: 
• Last week a typical day began with a shoot at a client’s home for my segment on the Knoxville NBC Morning Show(http://bit.ly/7W682C),
•  followed by a quick drive to my home to throw casseroles into the o
