Unravelling Your Child’s Actions with a Reactions Tracker Alright, super parents, it’s time to put on our detective hats! We all know that raising a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is a bit like being in a real-life game of Cluedo, but instead of solving a crime, we’re deciphering the mysteries of…
Why do we do it? We have these jobs we know we need to do but we keep putting them off. By doing this, we make the job appear even more difficult than it is. We give it a power and then even more amazingly, we start to believe the hype we have created.
If we eat the frog, (ie get that awful job done out of the way), then the rest of the day has got to be a breeze but what if you have more than one frog item on your list?
“a plan Is what, a schedule is when. It takes both to get things done” Pubilius Syrus Lists Are you a list writer? Do you have lists everywhere? Or maybe even lists organised in one lovely book – yes I’m talking about you – or maybe you have amazing mind maps that you’ve spent hours…
If you are anything like me, you are possibly involved in several projects. Maybe you’re not involved in lots of projects, but you are trying to juggle work, home, me-time, keeping fit, being a mum/dad, and somehow trying to find time to write that book or redecorate that room. or learn a new skill I…
“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all “ Peter F Drucker Come on, be honest, how often do you put off doing something you really need to do and then focus on doing something that doesn’t really need doing at all? Maybe you can spend hours…
I love lists. I have lists for everything
They had been so helpful in the past, I had always been given the correct phrase and it always worked. It never crossed my mind to check!
My name is Debs and I am a stationery addict. I love notebooks, planners, pens, pencils and all things stationery.
The diet can start on Monday. Or after the holidays. Or once all the rubbish has been consumed in the house. Or until you have had chance to go shopping for some healthy alternatives?
I have read soooooo many books and articles on productivity but they all work from the assumption that you are off the sofa and ready to do. I needed something that started with me on the sofa, thinking about doing but then procrastinating.
I was the Queen of Procrastination. I made myself so many promises to improve my productivity but still found myself putting off everything until the very last minute, all the time stressing about what needed doing or reading more articles on how to improve your productivity or stop procrastinating.
I know the power of routines for my children but I hadn’t realised how much I needed routines to get me through the day until recently.
Trello describes itself as “…. the easy, free, flexible, and visual way to manage your projects and organize anything”
If, like me, you are a great list writer but not so great at doing; if you too are a Leader in Procrastination, then hopefully one of these will help you to part ways with procrastination.
I don’t know about you but I’m reaching that age when I forget why I walked into a room, what I’m looking for and yesterday, I even took the scenic route home – by scenic, I mean long and totally unnecessary! Summer Holiday Brain Mode: My brain is still in summer holiday mode. Summer holiday…
I wanted to share with you how I use the Bullet Journal method to keep on top of the Special Needs Minefield.
There are rumours that Pinterest was in fact created by a man who wanted his wife to lose weight, get fit, decorate the home, cook amazing meals and still manage to look amazing and up to date at the same time.
When life happens, and things get put on hold, the last thing I want is the added stress of knowing that I will have to play catch up the following week/month.
I am a big list writer – hence my love of the BuJo. So I wanted to share my lists with you of what has and hasn’t worked in my BuJo set up and what hasn’t.
However, this week, we realised how much impact my love of lists has had on my son.
I have recently discovered yet another dippy hippy activity – my husband’s words, not mine. I am talking about Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning.
Making the bullet journal wok for me. Me, my notebook and I.
I love October, it is definitely one of my favourite months. It’s that Autumn feel, it’s my wedding anniversary, it’s my twins’ birthday and it is halloween – my kids’ second favourite holiday. October brings dark evenings, leaves crunching under your feet and the countdown to Christmas – my kids’ favourite holiday. The first of…
I love January! Over the last few days, I have had lovely long catch up chats with my partners in crime work colleagues and I am now so motivated but desperately looking for the best Productivity App to utilise. Initially I had a lovely catch up with my counterpart in my new role with Community…
Do you use Pinterest? Now I love Pinterest and use it regularly (ok, daily) to be inspired. It has helped me immensely when trying to get ideas on how to get organised. Other work from home mums have shared so many tips and advice. Do you pin to a board all about getting organised? Working…
These past three weeks have been very strange for me, I have actually had to stay home. My children have had a full round of sickness bugs and then just one day after returning to school, we then received a full quota of chickenpox. So I have had to give apologies to all meetings and…
Well, my mission to get organised continues. I have spent a lot of time reading blogs and tips. I have also spent many hours on my beloved Pinterest. I purchased a lovely A5 filfoax as phone apps were not doing it for me. I had discovered Astrid which I thought may be the solution but…
As you all know by now, I am on a mission to get organised. If like me, you find it hard to say no when someone says “oh could you just…” or “wouldn’t it be great if we had someone who could ……..”, you will have lots of ideas floating around in your head or…
