In my last non-podcast post, I mentioned my Goal Tasks and how I use a Kanban board to track my goals. So, today I am sharing more of that here!

42 Lessons From 42 Years (pt. 2)
Carrying on from last week's 42 Lessons From 42 Years (part 1), here's part 2. Since I didn't want to make a monster of a blog post, I thought I'd break it into 3 parts. I'm sure you will all be sick of me by the 3rd one 🙂
42 Lessons From 42 Years (pt. 1)
I'm doing something a little different today. I turned 42 earlier this year and it hit me hard because this was the age my sister was when she died. So I looked back on my life and thought I'd share some of the life lessons my 42 years have garnered.
Declutter Your Digital Life: Tips And Tricks
After the success of the Paper Purge Project, where I went through all the papers in my house (and as a writer, I had a LOT of paper... like, 20+ binders, a full filing cabinet, 30 folders, and too many "boxes") I am ready to start tackling the disaster that is my digital life.
Creating A Desktop Wallpaper
I love doing fun things when my brain decides everything else is too boring or overwhelming. So when I spotted someone on Insta who talked about making their own laptop wallpaper on Canva my attention was piqued!
How Important Is Flow?
If you caught last Friday’s post about Backing Up Your Work you will be aware that I set myself a deadline to do a huge paper purge (by booking a Shredding company to come to my house). Well, it worked, I charged through my paperwork like a bat outta hell!
And during this purge, I entered the state of Flow… something I’ve not done for a long time.
Why It’s Important To Back Up Your Work
I can't harp on enough of backing up your work and once again I was reminded (by my own experience) just why this is so important.
The Task Game
My brain doesn't always do what it's meant to. Keeping it on track and focused is a full-time job because if I'm not careful, my crazy brain drifts off into daydream land or it is distracted by a shiny object or has a sudden urge to clean something before veering off to do other random things. Because of this, I have to find ways to keep it engaged.
The Problem With Goals
If you know me, you'll be looking at that title, scratching your head and going 'You? You think there's a problem with goals?' because I love goals. I, for a long time, shared Monthly Goals and Yearly Goals. I still like goals, just as I like To-Do lists! But that doesn't mean there is not still a problem with them, or at least, a problem with how we view and approach goals... let me explain.
7 Things I “Spring Clean” Annually
As the weather get's warmer, I like to continue my "spring cleaning" by moving from actual cleaning to more keeping on top of specific things. This is a good annual OOT (I know technically because I do it once a year, it's not an OOT, but it's close enough!)
