Conquering Clutter – TPW014 Oct 09, 2014

How do you feel about the stuff you own? Is every possession in your life something meaningful to you, or is your space overwhelmed with too much stuff?

Getting Ready to Finish Well – TPW013 Oct 02, 2014

Show notes

As we enter the last quarter of the year, it seems like a good time to pause, consider what we've accomplished so far this year, re-evaluate what we want to do in the time that's left, and set ourselves up for success in the remaining months of this year.

10 Indispensable Productivity Tools – TPW012 Sep 25, 2014

Show notes

Every woman is unique, and her life and schedule and style are unique. So there's no such thing as one right way to manage your life or time, and there are no tools that work for everyone.

Tons of studies show that healthier people are more productive, but modern life makes staying healthy and fit a challenge for all of us.

Saying No Gracefully – TPW008 Aug 28, 2014

Do you find it difficult to say no? I do. The desire to be liked or the sincere desire to help makes it easy to say yes, and sometimes we end up regretting it.

Perfectionism & Productivity – TPW007 Aug 21, 2014

Show notes

Having high standards is a good thing. Striving for excellence is a good thing. But taken to extremes, these can become perfectionism, which can paralyze us and prevent us from accomplishing the things that matter to us. The key is to find that balance that lets us enjoy the process and the results of our efforts.
