My planning paid off and I had a nice day yesterday! I mentioned in my reading list on Sunday that I’ve been reading The New Corner Office, the e-book by Laura Vanderkam about how to work better from home. One section that caught my eye was about “taking breaks”. This advice was geared toward working people,… Continue reading Better Breaks

I had a good weekend, caught up on some things and just feel ready to roll.A couple things I did that I’m (hoping) will make this a great week:scheduled out my whole day for today in… Continue reading Monday Motivation
A good day
The good thing about a bad day is that it’s usually followed by a good day. That’s my experience, anyway. I don’t too oftenhave multiple bad days in a row, maybe because the bad day forces me to stop and re-evaluate WHY it was a bad day and make some intentional changes to avoid another… Continue reading A good day
Dilemmas
Feeling a bit…..something this morning. Not exactly sure what. Sort of a mix between overwhelmed and frustrated. Maybe a touch of anxious and…irritable? I don’t even know. I feel conflicted, too. About several different things.The weekend was awesome- truly, as you saw in my post yesterday, Ethan’s birthday was such a highlight. But I did… Continue reading Dilemmas
Habit Tracking
I sat outside on the deck last night at 10 pm and was going crazy at how BEAUTIFUL it was out!! Humid, warm....Just a perfect summer night. I had to drag myself inside to go to bed. Holy guacamole, it’s July 1st. Sounds weird, mostly because part of me kind of still thinks it’s a strangely… Continue reading Habit Tracking
A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Yesterday I took a vacation day with the intention to work all day. Wait, what?? Yep, that’s right. I took a vacation day from my paid job to work for free at my house all day. 😊 Do you ever do this? I do this fairly regularly- at least a couple times per year probably.… Continue reading A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Atomic Habits
“I have the bad habit of….” or “I wish I had the habit of…..” or “Ugh, I shouldn’t do this, it’s such a bad habit…” This is a great podcast in general! Check it out. I am fascinated by the topic of habit formation and have read a few books on it lately. A few weeks ago… Continue reading Atomic Habits
An “Off” Day
The purpose of this blog for me was to be a place to share some of my personal life, as well as to be a place to talk about positivity, gratitude, productivity and just overall well-being- sort of my own little journey of personal growth, I guess you could say. That being said, one concern I… Continue reading An “Off” Day
Today’s Three Things
I ran across a great productivity tip this past week that I'm really loving! It is called "Today's Three Things." The idea is that each morning as you get organized for the day, you pick three things that you want to accomplish that day. It doesn't have to be work-related or even something traditionally "productive". Just 3 things… Continue reading Today’s Three Things
May Goals!
As promised, I'm back with my newly updated May 2020 goal list. Since I didn't exactly knock it out of the park with my April accomplishments, many of my May goals are basically rollovers from April. Being the new month and all, I, of course, am feeling rather enlightened and sure that this month however, I will certainly be… Continue reading May Goals!
