My new Time Timer!
I CANNOT believe it's taken me this long to get a Time Timer! I just got one for a project I'm joining soon with my friend Alejandra of Alejandra.tv. (Stay tuned...) I've recommended these to a few ADHD clients over the years but never thought to buy one myself.
My Quarantine Bathroom Renovation (Before & Afters!)
I can't believe it's been nearly a year since we redid the bathroom and I'm only now posting the photos! We started this renovation on 3/11/21. You might recall that that was THE week Covid came crashing down on all of us.
Elfa sale, my taxes, and more
In the last few weeks I've given 4 virtual talks! One, to a group of real estate agents, focused on how to find nooks for home offices in their listings. It reminded me of this hall closet turned file storage from a few years ago. My client took control and did this after I left.
Saving newspapers from historic events: to save or not to save

In 2020's list you'll learn about a favorite product of mine and how one client used it in multiples. You'll see before/afters of my ill-timed bathroom renovation. You'll learn a magic word I "prescribed" for a client. You'll hear one client's admission about paperwork, and more.
Define (and find) work-life balance
This week I gave a talk on work-life balance to a team in Afghanistan - virtually of course! This was a new speaking topic for me. Corralling the lessons into a presentation made me realize how much this topic is woven into my day-to-day work with clients.
