Your chronotype is the label that helps describe your ideal schedule in terms of sleep and work. I'm sure that this system is partially influenced by geography and culture, so I don't like to overly generalize, but when I speak about chronotypes to American audiences, I get a lot of affirmative head-nodding. In this episode I explain how understanding your chronotype can help you lead a more…

Maybe you've always been tired. Or maybe, you're just coming off a trying three, six, nine, or twelve month period where you've been going full steam ahead, and you are having trouble figuring out how to slow down. I've been in the latter, coming out of an intense 12-month period where two family members passed, long-standing relationships were rethought, major financial investments made, multiple…
I only have one kiddo, although sometimes I wished I had a second so that I could implement everything I learned! Those first few years were so lonely. I was overwhelmed and didn't have a lot of resources, and it made me realize how our society doesn't support families and especially moms. Change is necessary, but cultural and legislative change moves slowly, so I figured out how to help myself.…

If life were a video game, then the goal would be to figure out how to manage the circumstances you've been "spawned" into to be happy. So says the Art3mis character in Ready Player Two (I've paraphrased of course). I agree completely which is why I have so many tools to keep my mindset positive, because the reality is, by the time you get to my age (52), life has thrown a lot of curveballs at you…
Play is powerful! It can completely shift your mindset from one of competition and stress to one of cooperation and joy. But how does that translate to the work space? Listen to my conversation with Positive Psychology and Play Expert Jeff Harry as we discuss his recent TEDx Talk and how the soccer team he plays on is able to create a more joyful, less competitive environment. RESOURCES Jeff's…
I believe that our relationships, with ourselves and with our loved ones, are the only thing that really matters. And so much of daily life pulls us away from that, which is why it's imperative that you make it a priority through planning. This is why a few of my closest friends and I plan an annual vacation so we can reconnect, because in doing so, we are also helping to feed our own mental…
Many people use a planner or calendar simply as a collection of due dates. They write down when something has to be turned in or completed, but not all of the steps that it will take to accomplish that task. All of those steps are what I define as "invisible work". There is a broader definition of invisible work that I believe shares some components with my definition, however, it's more narrowly…

I used to be an over-packer, but then a 1-month trip to 3 countries and 12 cities converted me. I didn't want to worry about losing my luggage, nor did I want to pay $1,200 in checked luggage fees, so I decided to finally conquer the skill of "packing light". In the end, it worked out really well especially as we would have missed our return flight if we'd check luggage because our first leg was…
