Part of my fascination with the term ‘introvert’ as I define it is how it describes how I understand where we, as introverts, get our energy from. Now I’m far, far from scientific when it comes to these energy matters. And that’s OK: any scientist who’s worth his salt will admit he or she still […]
You might have heard/read the adage ‘What gets measured gets managed.’ It’s the idea that we can’t change or improve something unless we’re keeping track of it. The simple act of paying attention to something will cause you to make connections you never did before, and you’ll improve the those areas - almost miraculously, without […]
If only I had more time… Raise your hand if you’ve ever said that to yourself or anyone else. (Unless you’re in a public place, in which case, I’ll let you off the hook with a blink.) You probably already know on a deeper level that it isn’t really lack of time that’s stopping you […]
Do you feel like you’re ready to quit? Do you feel like you’re flogging a dead horse and beginning to look like a creazy person to you fam and friends? Do you have an iron-clad grip on a project or pursuit that is costing you time, money and energy - and your sanity? Then OH […]

I spent the past weekend at home home (with my parents) and somewhere between countless cups of Barry’s Tea and Conversations about the weather, I came up with an idea for a post. When I arrived, Ma was in the midst of a tech-related nightmare. An online shop was refusing checkout, and her phone company […]
One of the biggest objections I hear from creatives who want to get more exposure for their work, sell more products, get more clients… is: “I don’t have time for self promo” I get it. We should be spending as much time as possible on our craft: honing our skills, doing the work. I’ve also […]
So you’re in a nice routine of pushing out a blog post once a week. May be more. May be less. But you’re getting it done. Then all of a sudden… life gets cray. Everything else seems to take priority and your blog posts go unpublished - and your consistency goes down the pan. Blogging […]
Raise your hand (you don’t think I can see you but I can) if you’re someone who insists on doing it ALL themselves. I blame Fred Durst. If you want something done right, you should just do it yourself” ~ Boiler, Limp Bizkit Common sense tells us that of course we can’t do all things […]
Just around one year ago, I diagnosed myself with SMSD. You’re wondering what SMSD is? The symptoms are: Inability to sleep (without checking instagram one last time) Brain fog (caused by overdosing on cat videos) Lowered self-esteem (due to comparing self to others achievements) Chronic stress (from managing several different social media accounts at once) There […]
