All these advanced technologies are supposed to be saving us time right? I ask you “Is it saving you time?” Our devices, robots, and social media seem to be sucking up a lot of time and cognitive load. In my observation, it seems to me, I am spending more time on apps, updates, and managing robots and getting frustrated than saving time. I just wanted to have a conversation about what I am seeing and hear from you…you too? Smart Homes You all know the struggle I have had with our robot vacuum. I finally had waited out the lease on the last one that never seemed to connect to wifi...

info_outlineThis is your friendly reminder to get registered for the Holiday Blitz…it’s FREE! A great gift to yourself for the holidays would be some sanity. This blitz is designed to help you be present and enjoy the holidays too.
We are where the holidays come from. But did you ever stop to ask your family if everything you are doing is meeting their holiday expectations. Often times we have so much fun with one idea that it almost turns into an obligation in the following years. If you stop and just ask your family what makes the holidays special, you may find you can eliminate a lot of things you are doing. Turns out my kids didn’t care about decorating all the cookies I made from scratch. Now i just buy the chocolate chip cookie ingredients and my daughter makes them. I don’t have to do any of it!!
Take advantage of this free Blitz to see how you can simplify your holidays. Dream about what is possible for the upcoming holidays while you have time to plan. I know if i don’t plan, my expectations for the holidays don’t even get considered. This way I plan how to execute how I want the holidays to look and feel while confidently meeting my families expectations too.
Registration is open now, Videos drop Oct. 27th!! You get to enjoy the holidays this year too!
