It's Wednesday - hello! We're also nearly finished with April - how can that be?! It seemed like everyone found themselves struggling to adjust to life in March, but April has been my challenge. It doesn't help that April is truly the cruelest month, which has made getting outside more difficult. Perhaps May will bring... Continue Reading →
Planning for The Gideon Method
Last Friday I wrote about The Gideon Method - a strategy for cycling through your unfinished projects. I'm not drowning in unfinished projects, which is the good thing.
