  • The Agony of “Almost There”

    You know when you stand at the base of something big, and you’re prepared to start, like a trek up your own personal mountain? You probably prepared to get there. You’ve done the work ahead of time. And there’s a certain energy and excitement about getting started. Nothing like the agony of when you were…

  • Happy 2015!! Sneak up on those goals!

    Happy 2015!! Sneak up on those goals!

    So it’s a brand new year all ready. Are you prepared? First I always find it pays to look at the last year – while trying very hard to look at things in a positive manner, focusing on what was achieved and accomplished rather than just what wasn’t accomplished. 🙂 Then comes the new year,…

  • Taking Stock of the Year

    So you’ve survived yet another year. YAY! Glad you’re still with us. 😉 And at this time of year, it’s only suitable to start to look back and consider the year. Remember those goals you were supposed to write down at the beginning of the year? Yep, those ones. Go drag them out now, hmm?…

  • 7 Reasons for Hope to Persevere

    It’s scarcely 1/6 of the way through the year (17%), and I begin to wonder if I can achieve what I set out to do, if this will be another year when I try hard, but nothing seems to come of it. More rejections, and I fear contest entries were more like throwing away money.…

  • Goals Check-in: Never Surrender!

    So, I’m not great with math, but even I know that seeing as February is coming to a close, we’re about 1/6 of the way through 2013. Which leads to my check-in. How are the goals coming along? You did set some goals right?  Have you taken a look at them since you last wrote…

  • Priorities: Is it time for re-ordering them?

    Do you have your priorities in order? Do you even know what your priorities are? When was the last time you assessed them, and considered whether you lived according to these priorities? My priorities are fairly simple. Family. Writing. Friends. Everything else (and yes, housework is somewhere way down the list). The top three are,…

  • Tangible Productivity Markers for a New Year

    Do you have a new calendar yet? Have you written out goals and plans on it? Or do you let the days pass as they will? As we begin a new year, I’ve been thinking more about using time instead of chasing after it all the time. Instead of having a bit of a loosey-goosey…

  • Time to Reflect on the Past Year: Or, Where the heck did 2012 go?!

    Now, I don’t know about you, but I swear, someone stole at least a month out from under me in the past year. It seemed like it was just June, and now suddenly we’re saying farewell to another year. Yikes! However, not to worry. Because looking back at the year that was is a pretty…

  • Word Splurge: Measuring Productivity Tool and Tips

    Hey there. Fairly short post today, since I need to get writing. I’m past my hour allotted for the day for the internet. Part of why I’m excited to get writing is because progress has been good. It’s been a long time since I broke the 10k mark in a week, let alone in one…

  • Mountain Climbing in a Fog: How Do We Measure Progress?

    We all have end goals, some small, some, well,  mountainous. Some goals – and their attainment – is easy to measure and see. Others less so, especially if success is something measured in our heads. That makes some of these goals like mountain-climbing in the fog: we have no way of knowing where we are…
