Bite-sized Inspiritment Day 1: Story
Have you ever caught yourself judging someone and realised that you don’t know their story and can’t judge based on that brief encounter? I have. I remind myself frequently that each person on this earth comes with a whole story of their life. The highs, the lows, the people and circumstances of their lives are an intricate and unfathomable mix leading up to this moment in time. I too have a life story. So do you. I have always been fascinated by stories, both fiction and non-fiction. You can get lost in them, escape from your reality for a time. You can see through someone else’s eyes for that time.…

How I’m working on my productivity in order to savour my life: Apps
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a tech girl. I blame being married to an I.T. guy but really it is just part of who I am. I use apps and technology to help me to focus, to manage my projects and collaborate with others. Of course, I also use technology and apps to procrastinate and waste time too! Here are a few I am finding helpful right now: Focus: Pomodoro: During my work blocks of time, I often use the Pomodoro technique to help me to focus. There are a plethora of apps that help you to monitor this with varying levels of customisation and price tag. I use a…

How I’m working on my productivity in order to savour my life: Block Schedule
In the last post of this series, I talked about how I am using my bullet journal to get organised and increase my productivity. The other big game changer for me is incorporating a block schedule in my days and week. I notice a huge difference in productivity when I do this. Do you know what I mean by a block schedule? I have only recently heard that term but have used the concept on and off for many years. Basically, you allocate blocks of time in your day and week to specific jobs/projects/tasks and don’t do anything else in that time. It allows complete focus on that one area…

What I learned this winter 2018
Spring is here in the Southern Hemisphere. At the end of each season, I aim to pause and reflect back over the past few months. It seems cliche but this season simultaneously feels like it has lasted forever and gone in a blink all at once. My brain is struggling to process it all. Here is the attempt to pull together what I’ve learned and observed. I have reached my goal of equipping and releasing the leaders I have served in MOPS with here in Western Australia Last weekend marked my the end of my time as State Leader for MOPS as I passed the baton on to be able…

Rushing the process- Five Minute Friday
I seem to want to rush through process to get to the result. I’m guessing that I am not the only one. I want the instant results without the work. I know that it’s in the process that the learning and growth happens. It’s in the process that the depth and foundation is put in that allows the results a place to rest safely. The biggest thing that I have been wanting to rush recently are my emotions. I have not been allowing myself time to process through the complex emotions brought up in recent seasons. Even when I have the time, I want to distract and push past it.…
