I’m TIRED. I have small children who seem to never sleep, a student off at college embarking on his own adventure, a husband to hang out with, two businesses and soon-to-be three blogs. I help with a charity, I work to publish my own original work, and… You get the idea. Some days, I just…

#MotivationMonday: Make Getting Things Done into a Game
Not too long ago, Zulily had Fitbits on sale at a good discount. Mine finally arrived, and I’ve been wearing it for extra motivation to make sure I move each day. After a few days, I was like “meh, whatever.” Partly because I didn’t have the results I wanted on the scale Sunday morning, partly…
What I’m Working On August 2017
Happy August! I’m glad we’re getting closer to fall, as autumn is my favorite season of the year. I’m sad we’re getting closer to fall because it means that in 11 days, my oldest will be moving to college. He’s going to have a great time, though, and he’ll get to study what he loves…
#MotivationMonday: Kick-Starting Your Week
It’s Monday! That means it’s time to get a good start on your week. Last week, we talked about motivators that get us moving on our goals. This week, we’re going to talk about great ways to kick-start your week to a good start. What sorts of things do you do to get ready for…
#MotivationMonday: What Gets You Moving?
I’m starting a new series of posts here on my blog: I want to talk about motivation and what helps us to feel motivated. I think it’s an important thing to discuss, and I also think that a lot of people conflate “motivation” with “inspiration.” What helps get me moving: One of the things that…
What I’m Working On: July 2017
It’s been hot here in Kansas, and we have the air conditioning bill to prove it. I am not a person who enjoys the heat, and I need good ways to cut back on the bill – so if you have suggestions, please share them with me! Since the last time I updated, I’ve been…
What I’ve Been Working On: June 2017
I didn’t update in June because I was mostly away from my computer. I have a very good reason, though. We welcomed baby four, Miss Ladybug, to our family. You can read about her arrival on Wining Wife, here. Here she is: That said, I haven’t done a lot in the past six weeks since…
What I’m Working On: April 2017
April showers bring May flowers, and it’s raining outside right now. Things have picked up a bunch – and accordingly, I was taken out by a nasty viral infection for a week. I’m playing catch-up a little bit after that, but I’m still on track. Thank goodness for good project management and productivity systems. (Speaking…
Writers Needed: Activism My Way
I’m in need of some people who would like to make regular contributions (or one-time guest posts) to my community involvement blog. While I am not in the position to offer monetary compensation, that will change once we get more traffic to the blog and boost our readership so I can begin to monetize this…
What I’ve Been Working On – March 2017
February went by fast, didn’t it? Between Kansas weather trying to decide what it wants to do and the seeming death of my laptop (time for it to go into the shop), February was a very strange month. But, I did still manage to get some things accomplished. Consulting Work I continued work on the…
