How do you keep on top of your to do list?

I have a running list of “all-the-things” that I check in with each day..

From there, I write a do to list for today.

Keeping an ongoing list keeps my head clear and anxiety away as I know I've recorded my thoughts somewhere.

Checking in daily means I can prioritise where necessary, but keep my eye on the bigger picture and my 90 day goals.

What works for you?

23/06/2024

I've got a question for you today and I'd love you to drop an answer for me into the comments below.

I want to know how you feel about vulnerability.

A few weeks ago I received a really vulnerable email from somebody in our community who's having a pretty tough time and they didn't know where else to go for help.. And it took a lot of courage for them to be quite so vulnerable and share some of their truth with me so that we could help build a a plan.

It has led me to think about how our uncomfortable feelings about being vulnerable might actually be holding us back in our businesses and our personal lives.

So I wanted to throw a thought to you today.

How do you feel about being vulnerable in business and personally?

Have you got a holiday or even a short trip booked for this year yet?

What are your plans for the day?

24/05/2024

I can remember when I was a young mum, the whole 'girl's weekend concept' was a really big thing for me..

It was just about a time without the children and time replenishing friendships.

But now at this point of my life, I just want to be home.

The whole 'going out thing' isn't as attractive for me anymore.

Yes, I love a great meal. I love going out to beautiful restaurant. I love great service and all of those things.. But I'm not looking for the big loud audacious girl's night or weekends like I used to.

Instead I'd rather go to a puppy yoga with my girl gang, and then we're gonna have a kickass lunch, maybe a glass of wine?..

And that would just be the most perfect day for me.

22/05/2024

In negotiations, compromise isn't always the best approach.. particularly when emotions are involved.

But most conversations end to be emotion-based..

And even when we try them not to, they still become triggering.

And suddenly, all these feelings rush in, bringing our personal stories into the mix.

In these moments, it's easy for misunderstandings to arise, as the other person may be unaware of our triggers and the stories we carry with us.

But by focusing on solutions, we create space for understanding and progress.

So I think that often having that third party—we create space for understanding and progress.

They can act as a guiding force, encouraging measured dialogue.

When someone else is present, we're more likely to pause, listen, and truly hear each other's perspectives, which helps us connect and find resolutions naturally

How do you navigate negotiations, specially with your partner?

26/04/2024

Let me make you smile with a cute photo of our dog Shelby💤💤
Have a great weekend!

20/04/2024

Ahh weekends.. a time to unwind and recharge

I've learned the hard way the importance of prioritising self-care after years of leaving myself bottom of the list.

I made a conscious effort to reclaim my downtime and I'm enjoying feeling more energised and focused.

Is there something you've been considering changing up to feel more fulfilled in your own life?

17/04/2024

A few weeks back we've talked in the podcast about finding commonality in your goals..

It's okay for you to be on a different page because there will still be a commonality that you can bring together and work on.

And so when your goal and your partner's goals don't match, keep going with the conversation until you can find that common ground.

Why is it your motivation to do this?

What are you actually looking for there?

Keep asking why.

Get curious and you'll eventually come to that point where you both got the commonality and you can now build a plan to find that goal that you're now both working towards.

12/04/2024

Do you plan what you want your life to look like, or do you go with what it throws at you?

03/04/2024

So.. how's your personal budget?

I struggle to shut off my mind when I'm not at work, especially during holidays.

My solution—engage in exercise to the point where I simple can't think.

How about you? How do you manage to switch off when you're off work?

Hello March ☀️

23/02/2024

Being vulnerable is HARD, really HARD.

But you know what is harder—getting stuck in tricky situations, ones you don't know how to navigate out of.

There is no shame in not knowing how to do something.

There have been times when I have found myself in horrible situations, ones that keep me awake at night, that make me feel the burden of self-judgement and shame.

Every time the only way out, has been to start with trusting myself to be vulnerable.

Often though, that is not a bridge we are willing to cross until we are really desperate and often can't see a way out.

Sadly most of us are motivated only by pain, not joy and so we will move away from pain, but not usually towards joy.

So my question to you today is, what are you currently moving away from?

20/02/2024

You can't expect a complete transformation overnight. Take a moment today to pause and reflect. Consider what changes you're aiming for this year and think about what different choices you could make right now to kickstart that journey. - Nic

Ever felt overwhelmed and unmotivated to work? We've all been there and it's totally okay. One of the tips that we give to our clients whenever they don't feel doing anything is to create a dump list. Write down everything in your head – worries, to-dos, random thoughts. This will help clear your mind and create space for focus and clarity. Keep the list handy and add anything to it throughout the day. If you need some help your trade business or setting actionable goals, comment below or message us and let's brainstorm on how we can help you succeed.

In business, we often overlook the importance of preparation until it's too late. And you can find yourself and your business in a bind when you least expect it.. So taking a bit of time upfront to set up solid support—legal advice, financial smarts, and a reliable team—can save a ton of headaches later on. Head over to Tradies In Business podcast episode TIB569 to learn more about some of the basic legal protections and agreements you need to set in place. https://www.tradiesinbusiness.com.au/podcasts/tib569-protecting-what-youve-worked-hard-for-with-helen-kay-from-rise-legal/
