When you've fallen behind, it can be difficult to catch up. You find yourself having to work double or triple time to get back to where you want (or need) to be.

It might not be procrastination
Sometimes what we call procrastination is actually just making the choice not to do something. Just because you have a task to complete, doesn't mean you need to do it right away, maybe you don't feel like it. We often create this sense of urgency as though nothing can or should be done any later … Continue reading It might not be procrastination
It isn’t worth pretending
When people have an expectation of who they think or want you to be, they have a difficult time I'm accepting when you become something else. It could be a permanent thing or perhaps you are just going through a phase but either way who you become is your choice. I think we all need … Continue reading It isn’t worth pretending
From bad to worse
When your life isn't exactly what one would describe as good, you may find that you've developed a fear of things going from bad to worse.

We see … Continue reading Fun, joyful and sweet

When we think about getting someone to buy something the first is probably that it's a bad thing. Perhaps what comes to mind is a greasy car salesmen or some sort of trickster who will tell lies to convince you to spend money. But what about the other times we buy things based on being … Continue reading Nobody wants to feel like they’ve been duped
Security over happiness
There's a choice to be made that sometimes ends up being a sacrifice. It's possible to have security and happiness but people often make choices that prioritise one over the other. They do this for reasons such as fear, a lack of self belief or because they have people relying on them. It becomes difficult … Continue reading Security over happiness
5 reasons to quit your job
I think that what we do for a living matters. When you have to wake up everyday and do something that you don't enjoy, interact with people you don't agree with, work late to meet deadlines and give your time and energy to work that you don't care about, maybe you should be doing something … Continue reading 5 reasons to quit your job
