I've mentioned I'm writing a book, right? An in-real-life-hold-in-your-own-two-hands type of book. Over the next week, as I'm nearing my deadline, I'm going to be asking for quotes on different strategies that I ramble on and on (and on) about here on the blog. Have you used them? How?

What’s the difference between “I can’t do this! My house is out of control! I’m doomed!!!” and “Aaaahhhh. I feel so much better now”? Ten minutes. On last week’s podcast, I shared a reality check. My house was a wreck. A bigtime wreck brought about by my current Tunnel Vision writing this book that’s due in less than a month. I’m stressed, … [Read more...]
