Taking A Little Break

On 13 May 202211 May 2022 By AriIn General, Personal / Life9 Comments

I'm feeling frazzled to the bone.  So rather than rush a blog post, I'm going to take a short break...

Top 10 Digital Tools I Use Daily

On 8 April 20221 April 2022 By AriIn General, Product Reviews6 Comments

Today, I thought I'd share with you some of the Apps and Programs that I use on a daily basis.  These all help to keep me organised, productive and accountable.

Why My Perfectionism Is Holding Me Back

On 25 February 202224 February 2022 By AriIn General8 Comments

If you caught my last newsletter that went out on Tuesday, I was talking about weaknesses (thanks to everyone who replied to share their weaknesses).  No one likes to think about their weaknesses, especially when they are having a big impact, but it's something we all should do.

Top 5 Blog Posts Of 2021

Last time I did this, was back in 2019 I believe.  So I wanted to do it again, although I had hoped to get it done in January (but obviously that never happened). While 2021 didn't hit the highs of 2019 for stats, it didn't do too badly either.  So I decided to have a look at which blog posts people really loved.

Another year, another look back on what was before we turn our gaze to what will be.  Already heartsore from a vicious 2020, I thought 2021 would be somewhat of a balm after what we all went through but it didn't quite turn out like that.

Merry Christmas

To all my wonderful readers I truly appreciate all the support, encouragement and friendship given over this year.  I hope you all have a wonderful rest over the holiday season.  See you in 2022!

My Vicious Little Habit Cycle

On 22 October 202122 October 2021 By AriIn General8 Comments

Today's blog post is a little different, I'm analysing a specific habit I have.  Maybe you have it too!  And it's all about emails!  Well, that and other forms of digital communications.

It’s A Numbers Game And That’s A Problem

Despite not being a fan of social media, I do appreciate's its importance and in truth, it has introduced me to some awesome people who I may never have met.  But I try and remind myself, that it's a tool!  A tool for business, a tool for marketing and the best tools are those used correctly.  So today I thought I'd discuss the numbers issue that comes with Social Media.

It's finally the end of 2020 and I think most of us can't wait to see the back of this dumpster fire of a year! Looking back over my blog, I was surprised how frustrated I was with 2019 and how happy I was when THAT year was over.  I guess 2020 made us all realise how bad a year truly could be!

The Sabbatical That Never Was

On 20 November 202023 November 2020 By AriIn General35 Comments

So, back in early July I made the bold announcement that I would be going away for a few months.  Dealing with burn-out and the lack of progress in my writing, I would give myself time and space to do some "real writing," or so I hoped.
