Amazing things happen when you give your brain the space to 'wonder'... Being back in the saddle this week has been a total game-changer for me; it's forced me to take time away from my desk and indulge in some daydreaming (even in the sub-zero temperatures!) The result? An influx of creative ideas, mental clarity, and a boost to my mental and physical wellbeing. I am a strong believer that daydreaming should be encouraged (despite what we may all have been told at school). We are so often at our most creative when our minds are allowed to think without outside influences. Freedom from technology, even for a short time, allows headspace for innovation and imagination. So take a break, go for a walk, people watch in a cafe, read something new, go for a drive, ... just make sure you take a book and a pen to jot down your ideas (easier said than done when on horseback!). Here's a little snippet of my favorite place to daydream... #creativemarketing #daydreaming #creativecampaigns #consumermarketing #PR

“I wish I had more time.” It’s a common excuse, but the reality is, we all have the same 24 hours. It’s about how we use them. So, how do you manage your time effectively? Here’s my top tip:👇🏻 𝟭.𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿. ↳ This could be exercising, cooking, or even reading. 𝟮.𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. ↳Identify which ones are most important to you. 𝟯.𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲. ↳See how much time you spend on apps like Instagram, Facebook, or Netflix. 𝟰.𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. ↳Determine if it’s being used wisely or if it’s just mindless scrolling. 𝟱.𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. ↳Use the hours you spend mindlessly scrolling on social media for the prioritized tasks on your list. For example: •If you discover you spend two hours on Instagram daily, consider this: •Allocate one hour for a workout. •Use 45 minutes to prepare a healthy meal. •Keep 15 minutes for a quick scroll. This way, you’re using your time more wisely and achieving your goals. ————- So, what will you prioritize today? Start reclaiming your time and make it count!

🌟 If your routine is feeling a bit blah lately, you're not alone. Sometimes, we find ourselves going through the motions without feeling truly fulfilled. 🌟 Do any of these resonate with you? ➡️ Are you doing lots of things, but none of it feels important? ➡️ Do you feel busy, but never feel like you accomplish anything? ➡️ Are you spending way too much time with Netflix or social media because nothing on your 'to-do list' is remotely appealing? Try this: 📝 Write down 3 things you did this week. 📝 Write down 3 things you WISH you had done this week. Is there a gap? 📉 Actionable Steps: 🔍 What’s 1 thing you can move from your wish list to your “to-do list”? 🗓️ Break it down into the smallest possible action and schedule it into your calendar. It might seem small, but every step counts towards reigniting your passion and purpose. 💪 Let's Chat: If your wish list is as uninspiring as your to-do list, don’t panic! Let's brainstorm some ideas together to bring back that spark and excitement into your days. https://lnkd.in/gsZgzCwr Here's to a week filled with purposeful actions and newfound inspiration! 🚀

Everything in your life is either something you need to survive, something that enriches your experience, or clutter. So here is the playbook… 1. Learn to know the difference 2. Learn to let go of the clutter 3. Learn to keep the clutter from coming back in Of course this is way easier said than done. And when all is said and done, more will be said than done… But that’s why I do what I do. To help you get from… “My life is just too hectic.” or “My closet is overly full, but never have anything to wear.” or “Someday I’ll be able to park my car in the garage.” To… “I woke up early this morning to walk with my dog and boyfriend and even got to work early.” or “It turns out I had plenty of clothes, I just couldn’t find them before!” or “Now I love hanging out in the garage.” Being a minimalist isn’t about depriving yourself of things. It’s about being intentional with your resources so that you’re able to focus on what matters most.

LinkedIn Post: Building Better Habits 🌟 Casual Tone 🌟 Hey there, LinkedIn community! 😄 Let's talk about building better habits today because, let's face it, we all have room for improvement, am I right? 💪 🔸 Habits shape our lives, and cultivating good ones can have a tremendous impact on our personal and professional growth. So, here are a few thoughts to get the gears turning: 🚦 Take it step by step: Habits are built over time, so start small and focus on one habit at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day, after all. 🏛️ 🌞 Ripen with consistency: Consistency is key when it comes to forming any habit. It's better to do a little every day than a lot occasionally. 🔄 📅 Master your schedule: Time is precious, so create a schedule that reflects your priorities. Allocate specific time slots for your desired habits, making them non-negotiable.⏰ ✨ Make it enjoyable: Enjoying the process of forming a habit makes it easier to stick with it. Find ways to make it fun, whether it's listening to inspiring podcasts or rewarding yourself along the way. 🎧 💥 Break it down: Complex habits can feel overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, actionable steps to make them more manageable. Think baby steps instead of leaps and bounds. 🐣 🤝 Find an accountability buddy: Share your habit-building journey with a trusted friend or colleague. Having someone who can keep you accountable and provide support can work wonders. 🤝 🎯 Track your progress: Monitoring your progress not only helps you stay on track but also provides a sense of accomplishment. Use apps or journals to track your habit streaks and celebrate your milestones. 📈 💡 Experiment and adapt: What works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different strategies and adapt them to suit your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. It's all about finding what clicks. ✨ 🚀 So, let's embrace the power of habits and make positive changes that ripple across our personal and professional lives. Remember, small steps can lead to great transformations! 🌟 Now it's your turn, what habits are you working on? Share your insights and experiences below.

Good morning/afternoon, whenever you're reading this! 🌞🌜 We all face distractions—whether it's daily chores like dishes and laundry or the bigger, yet essential, parts of life like family and friends. 🍽️👶 For me, the challenge is switching off. I tend to get hyper-focused, which can be great, except when it's about social media. 📱💭 Yes, social media is probably our biggest distraction. I've had to say goodbye to Facebook, Instagram, and even niche platforms like Whatnot and Fanatics, where I, as a sports card enthusiast, used to get caught in the endless loop of watching, bidding, and flipping for profit. 🚫🃏 The result? My productivity soared, my listening skills improved, and my family time became more meaningful. How did that happen? Well, what starts as a "quick" 10-minute check can easily spiral into 30+ minutes of lost productivity. 📈👨👩👧👦 So, are you distracted? If you are, you're not alone. Let's strive to better manage our focus and reclaim our time! 💪🤓 #Productivity #SocialMediaCleanse #Focus #FamilyTime #SideHustle #DistractionFree

As a business owner and mom, it can be tough to balance it all during the summer season. But, here are my top 5 ways to not just survive, but absolutely ROCK this summer: 1. Establish a Daily Routine: Consistency is key when it comes to managing multiple responsibilities. Create a schedule that works for you and your family, and stick to it! This will help you stay organized and on top of things. 2. Set Daily Goals: Along with a routine, having a clear plan for each day can help you stay on track and feel accomplished. Whether it's a work goal or a fun family outing, having something to strive for can keep you motivated. 3. Schedule Ahead: Take some time to plan out your weeks in advance. Block off certain days or hours for important tasks, and make sure to prioritize family time as well. This way, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and have more control over your schedule. 4. Keep Dinners Simple: Don't stress yourself out trying to come up with elaborate meals. Stick to simple and delicious options, such as one-pot dishes or quick and easy recipes. Your family will appreciate a delicious dinner without all the extra effort. 5. Make Time for Fun: Don't forget to prioritize some fun and relaxation in your schedule! Whether it's a day at the park with the kids or a night out with friends, make time for activities that bring you joy and help you recharge.

Wrapping up the week, here’s what I’m thinking about: 1. Access to people ahead of you is a game-changer. 2. Real customer conversations beat clicks and waitlist numbers. A couple of weeks ago I was overwhelmed with the number of things I could be doing. From growing and engaging an audience through content to running experiments on traction channels and iterating on MVPs, I was spinning my wheels doing loads of stuff that wasn’t getting me closer to the goal. I was frustrated and needed some wisdom from those a step ahead of me. Leaning into my mentor, Mia Bennett, and an ex-colleague of mine, Cien S., I asked the one question on my mind: “What matters right now and what doesn’t?” Unanimously, the response was - talk to customers and build your MVP, with an emphasis on actual IRL conversations. So, this past week has been exactly that. Step 1 was making some simple mockups of my product and pitching it to the coaches on my waitlist. The conversations consisted of a 60s pitch followed by a hypothetical scenario where www.spotr.coach could add value. Coaches then ranked the features they were most excited about and said what they thought was missing. This quote was my favourite “aha” moment from Luke Hirst: "I've lost touch with over 500 clients. Had I had this four years ago, I would have kept all of them on Spotr. It's the ideal way to maintain contact with past clients and re-engage them when ready." This is the dream - empowering lifelong wellness through lasting coach connections. Excited for more of the same next week! 📈
