Lazy.
Unmotivated.
Unfocused.
Like I just moved in.

These are common responses to a question I ask new clients: "What would a stranger assume about you if they walked into your office right now?"

ast week Dr. Mike Doughty, host of The School Leadership Show invited me back after our first interview a couple of years ago.  Focusing on school administrators, he was particularly interested in my work in summer 2016 with the staff of Christ Covenant School (read the post here).  

One of the best gifts I’ve received was from my sister last Christmas: the 660 Curries cookbook.  My relationship with Indian food is healthy, passionate, and growing, especially now that I’m not dependent on Indian restaurants!  After a few trips to the Indian grocer to round out my spice supply, I was off and running.  

Do you have “chronic” file folders? If you’re like most of my clients, you do.

Last week I was working with a client who I hadn’t seen in a year.  In revisiting a step rack full of folders that we evaluate year after year, she realized that they were all empty!  

Evernote’s Web Clipper is a cornerstone of its functionality.  It allows us to grab information from the web, effectively rendering bookmarks useless. The benefits of being able to save and organize content from the web such as recipes and articles speaks for itself, but a not-so-obvious benefit is that we can immortalize a webpage.  

I just want to remind everyone of my ongoing love affair with Menubar Countdown.

Since 2009 this rudimentary, no-frills timer has been anchored on my menubar.  There's a very specific way I use it: It serves as my Pomodoro Timer, which is the only way I get ANYTHING done.
