This summer I thoroughly enjoyed reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. I actually don’t read nearly as many productivity books as you’d might expect.

I can confidently say that I am fairly organized, but focus doesn’t come easily to me. For years now I’ve been relying heavily (maybe solely) on the Pomodoro technique.

Last week I announced my new FREE PDF: Custom Order: 10 Questions to Kickstart Your Organizing Project With Laser Focus. There are also 10 accompanying bonus videos! Watching these is like inviting me into your home for a first consultation.

A lot of you are working from home (maybe in the kitchen) and that comes with distractions - some of the family kind. I liked my sister’s attempt to keep those at bay with this sign she shared on her Instagram.

Given that when printing my set of 2019 workout calendars I realized I was a solid year into a new tracking habit, I thought it was a good time to share again how I use these simple pages. Last January Nic and I started posting the current month’s blank calendar on the fridge to track how often we were working out.

It’s a joy and a challenge to work with a whip smart client who has tried it all and looks to me for some out-of-the-ordinary advice. I knew she and I would be working on her email last week. She didn’t want someone else to tell her to create more email folders and just reply to things on time.
