Getting into a productive (but more importantly – sustainable) work routine was my main goal for the first three months of this year and here’s what’s helped me pull myself up from the pits of procrastination and despair…

• accepting there will be good days and bad days. This is normal. We’re not machines and we’ll never get everything done so there’s no point trying
• if it doesn’t get scheduled then it’s unlikely to get done
• breaking tasks down into smaller bites simplifies them and makes them feel more manageable
• keeping a done list of everything you’ve done so far that day is guaranteed to result in motivation.
• choosing 3 things to prioritise for now is better than trying to get through your entire to-do list
• setting a timer for 15 minutes and concentrating on one thing only until it stops is genius. I genuinely think we could take over the world 15 minutes at a time

If my words have helped you, a small contribution here will allow them to continue reaching the women who need them most. Also, don't forget to join me on Substack, where I share my Love Notes, a gentle pause in your week to reflect, realign, and reconnect in midlife. It’s not just another newsletter; it’s an intimate circle where I offer fresh intentions, soulful prompts, and simple but powerful shifts to inspire purposeful, creative living. Together, we’ll uncover the small but meaningful changes that help you design a life that feels beautifully your own.
