We’ve all been there. Feeling overwhelmed by All The Things on our proverbial plates. Ending a day of constant activity without feeling like much got done. Or some other exclamation about how busy life seems. But how often do you stop and take a brutally honest look at how you’re spending your time? How do …
Reflecting on your life and your work is always useful. Even as I find answers to some things in reflecting, I’m often surprised by how many more questions it raises. I don’t know why that still surprises me after so many years of doing this, but it does. One of the questions that always comes …
Life is busy for many of us. In fact, sometimes it feels like a whirlwind. Or a roller coaster. Or like I’ve been through the car wash outside of my car. When someone asks me how my week has gone, my initial answer is usually a reflection of the most recent things that have happened. …
