A new way to think about my success at work…
During my holidays, I had some time to reflect on where I am at and whether I was still on the right path. So I have a little story to share which kinda kick started that reflection process for me. Just before the end of the year, I had a catch up at work about…

Our household balance has gotten out of whack…
The balance of chores and family responsibilities in our household seems to be getting more and more unbalanced and I’ve been reflecting on how we ended up here. You see, it certainly wasn’t always the case. When my husband and I first started dating (a long long time ago), we both still lived at home. …

It’s time to get organised…
If I had to give you one tip for the successful juggling of all the priorities in your life, it would be GET ORGANISED! I truly believe that being super organised is one of the most important lynch pins to being successful, no matter what you are trying to achieve. From writing your life…

procrastination…yes, I am the queen
I’m an uber procrastinator. If there was an award for procrastination, I would quite possibly win it (as long as I didn’t have to submit some kind of nominations, because I probably would procrastinate on that). Most of the time I need some kind of hot rod up… well…you know… to get me moving. Now,…

I am successful BECAUSE I work part-time…not DESPITE it
As the end of the year draws near, I’ve been reflecting on my work and pondering whether I should be considering increasing my working hours back to full time next year. I’m really excited and inspired by all the work I am doing and I would love the opportunity to step up to some more…

Don’t forget to water your friends…
There’s been one part of my life where I have been seriously letting the team down. And I have known it for a while. But I hadn’t done anything about it. It’s my friends. Wind back the clock to a long time ago (a long long time ago)…I LOVED school. Yep, I loved it. I…

Stop making excuses…
This morning I stopped myself mid sentence, because I was about to break one of my golden rules. You see… when I first started working part-time, I felt really guilty when I was leaving the office before everyone else or when I couldn’t join a meeting because it was outside my agreed hours. I had…

Managing different communication styles…
I’ve learnt through my experiences at work, that it is important to be tuned into how the people you work with absorb information…especially your Manager, or people you need to build trust with. You see, everyone has their own communication preference, and everyone absorbs information different ways. There are lots of different official theories about…

Thinking…it’s a dreadful affliction…take a brain break
Ahhh…overthinking things, it’s one of my favourite party tricks and one that challenges me on a daily basis. How do I stop my whirlwind of a mind going from topic to topic in a split second, whirring around creating chaos but no real outcomes or results. My husband came home yesterday after delivering a presentation…

Social Communication – I’ve finally found my thing!
As I’ve mentioned before, being digitally savvy has never actually been my thing. I’m not a socially born millennial and for years I watched in confusion as my sister designed her first My Space page and then kept telling me I should get onto Facebook while I shrugged and said “nah..don’t really get that…
