Happy New Year! Most bloggers wrote this sort of post to go live on January 1. Of course, my year starts a little later than most, since I don’t go back to work until the 6th this year officially. So, here I am, back at work and setting goals! Today, I’m sharing my 20 in 2020. 1. Save $X. I don’t have any interest in telling people what I specifically plan to save, but know that in 2020, I plan…
I’ve talked about this before, but I see a lot of resumes in my day-to-day. I’ve seen bad, I’ve seen good, and I’ve even seen great. But I wanted to share the best job skills that you can bring to any position that I keep an eye out for on a resume and in job interviews, so you can make sure you have those skills, too. 1 – Strong and clear communication. One of the best job skills you can…
Hi, Patreon subscribers! This is my first ever super secret piece of content JUST for my Patreon subscribers. And I am so excited about it, because I’m sharing productivity tips by enneagram type! First up: If you don’t know what you are on the enneagram… stop. Rewind. Take the test! I love this personality test more than I love any other personality test. Next up: If you want a deep dive into each enneagram type, I recommend the Crystal Knows…
Want to make the most out your time at home and have more productive evenings? Keep reading! If you’re like me, you come home from work ready to plop down on the couch, relax and watch some TV. But that’s not the way to knock things off your to do list! If you want to see more productive evenings (thereby saving your weekends from being consumed by chores!), I have a few tips that I have been personally using myself….
I spend a lot of time sharing productivity tips with my students. I’m definitely “the productivity girl.” I am far from the most productive person, but I do feel very passionate about maximizing my productivity and using my time valuably. Even if I’m not always perfect, there are some things I strive not to do. I spend a lot of time telling people what they can do to be more productive. But I think it would be worthwhile to share…
I am trying to do a better job to jumpstart my mornings and using the hours when I’m the most awake to do the things that matter most. A morning routine can be hard to establish, but it’s important! So, I wanted to share the 9 things I’m trying to do every day before 10 a.m. (Or at least some of those things – it’s hard to get everything done, every day!) If you’re anything like me, routines make the…
If you’re like me, you feel like you get a major reset in mid-August. Why? It’s time for back to school! Even if you aren’t actually going back to school, there’s something about this season in life. It’s time for a new planner, new pens and a whole new you. OK, probably not really, but after 22 years of preparing for the first day of school, that mindset is still a part of me. It helps, of course, that I…
I am sure I am not alone in facing the Sunday scaries on the occasional Sunday. But my guess is some people have the Sunday scaries every Sunday – and it doesn’t have to be that way. There are a few things I do every Sunday to get ready for the week ahead, and I wanted to share with anyone else who gets that anxious feeling in their stomach on Sunday evenings.

I am sure I am not the only person who struggles to get back into the swing of things when coming back from vacation – either a short or long trip. We took a quick weekend trip to Nags Head a few weeks ago, and even that Monday morning was tough, even though it was only a few hours both ways! I have a few tried and true strategies for sinking your teeth back into your work and starting your…
I was so excited when Rachel Hollis’ new book, Girl, Stop Apologizing, came out in March! I always listen to these sorts of books on audiobook (I have an Audible subscription and totally recommend it!) and this one was especially good. Rachel Hollis has a great way of speaking and is a very engaging narrator. Plus, I love listening to authors narrate their own books! They tell the story in a completely different way.
