The Power of Knowing What You Don't Want

We spend so much time thinking about what we want to add to our lives... new goals, skills, habits. But when was the last time you intentionally considered what you want to remove? Sometimes the path to getting what we want isn't about doing more. It's about doing less of what drains us. Here's...

Choosing a Planner You Will Use

Raise your hand if you’ve ever stared at rows of planners—online or in Target—and thought, “Why are there so many options?

3 Modes of Productivity

Let’s be honest—when you hear the word “productivity,” what comes to mind? For most of us, it’s action. Movement. A full calendar. Maybe even that satisfying feeling of checking things off a list.
