Life’s Cliff Notes…

Tricks and shortcut button

Tips from a Life Management Coach are simply common-sense solutions to overcome everyday obstacles. The majority of my clients experience stress over paper and digital clutter, lack of time, over-crowded spaces and too much on their To-Do list. However, it is not the paper, nor the possessions, nor the schedule that is the problem. It is the daily habits individuals carry along with them, both good and bad.

Developing life management skills is about changing behaviors and making wise choices. There is always a choice. When something arrives, you choose what to do with it and how you will care for it. When someone asks you to do something, you choose whether it easily fits into your schedule or not. When you hold a possession in your hand, your choose whether it brings you joy or simply takes up precious space.

~Donald Rumsfeld
