I could make a career out of planning and time management. Really. Sad, but true. You can weep with me as I confess to time and money spent with DayTimer, Franklin Covey, Getting Things Done, Achieve, Basecamp, Outlook, Google tasks and calendars, Zen to Done and Todoodlist. (And, that’s just a few of the time [...]

There’s more to Third Tribe Marketing than Marketing! For those of you who already work from home, alone for large parts of the day, you’ll perhaps understand when I say I miss the workplace for the camaraderie. No water cooler to drop by and no coffee machine around which to congregate. I have been a [...]

Writing practice with morning pages was the bane of my life. I confess this with a heavy heart. As a writer I have read just about everything published on the art of writing and writing practice, including the many works by Julia Cameron. I have even reviewed The Artist’s Way here.

….don’t lose sight of what you already have! My housemate is a large, aged, tabby cat called Mr Trouble. He came with that name as a rescue from the RSPCA in 1998. It has taken Mr Trouble almost 10 years to settle, to trust and to reach out for affection. Prior to where we are [...]

I am privileged to belong to a very special group of people. It is not a secret society, but rather a gathering of like minded individuals working towards a common aim. Every now and then something crops up within the group which will spark an off-topic discussion. This week we’ve had one of those every-now-and-then [...]
