Why I started writing daily todo lists?
As the years go by, I actively and consciously learn more and more about myself, specifically the way I work.

Sort of like people that are organised and productive … Continue reading Why I started writing daily todo lists?
Why you’re not as productive as you could be
So often in life we feel like we're super busy but in reality we aren't actually getting anything done. Perhaps you're the sort of person who always has at least 7 things on the go.

However, that has now changed we are (pretty much) all working from home. One of the things that many have overlooked … Continue reading The importance of a working from home routine
The easiest way to get things done

So often we find ourselves overwhelmed by our ever-growing to-do lists that we end up thinking more planning, more thinking and more organising is the way forward. But at the crux of it all without taking action, nothing is going to change. You'll … Continue reading The easiest way to get things done
Is now the time for productivity?
Instead of questioning whether or not you should be maximizing your productivity at this time, it might be more useful to check in with how you feel.
