21 Signs That You are an Overachiever

Believe it or not, it took me less than 5 minutes to write this list as I looked in the mirror. These are the stories that we believe as overachievers…all of which lead us to believe that we are only worthy if we are achieving. Ouch #14. There is no relaxing or resting until the

Why doesn’t XYZ Time Management work for me?

Would you agree that we are all unique? That no two people have had exactly the same experience in this world? You can see how this is logically true, right? Even your siblings who grew up in the same house as you did not have exactly the same experience as you. Those experiences created neural

Time Anxiety

How many times last week did you say “I don’t have enough time”? What fun and joy did you miss out on because this was your automatic response? If you are like I was, you may be saying this multiple times a day without even realizing it.  You believe that you are super busy and

Feeling Productive

Today I want to spend some time talking about productivity. I know, it’s a super exciting topic and one that you hear about all the time.  I’m not going to spend any time at all preaching at you about how to be uber productive. I want to take a new spin on the subject. Productive
