Paper Flow

By MaryAnne Bennie & Brigitte Hinneberg

I confess … I’m hopeless with managing the paper in my life! At least I was until I read this fabulous, practical book!

With the subtitle of ‘The ultimate guide to making paperwork easy’, when MaryAnne told me about this system, I was skeptical. I felt like I’d tried everything to get on top of the piles of paper in my office, and that I was simply doomed to paying ‘late fees’ on my fees for the rest of my life. But how wrong I was.

Step by simple step, this book will guide you through the process of identifying your needs, designing a system that deals with your unique challenges, getting set it set up … and most importantly how to use and maintain that system so it works for you forever.

I rarely personally recommend a book – but this one most definitely comes with my personal money-back-guarantee. You’ll be delighted with the results, I promise you.

Are you living your full potential?

In my work, I frequently speak with people who are disenchanted with their lives.

“I feel so frustrated … I’ve been doing the same thing at work for years and I just can’t seem to get ahead.”

“I feel lost. I know I am capable of doing more but have no idea how to achieve what I really want to do.”

“Maybe I’m just not meant to do anything else. I mean, who am I to want more?”

I find this very sad.

Why we've got to stop talking about "Work/Life Balance"!

Work/Life Balance doesn't exist - and while we continue to strive to achieve it, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Why?

The phrase itself suggests a couple things that are inherent in the problem:

What does it take to achieve Work/Life Balance? (is it even possible?)

Frankly, no. It's not possible - and we are causing ourselves untold frustration and disappointment while we keep trying to achieve it!

Why do I say this?

Well, think for a minute about the phrase itself -

The Secret to handling ‘Difficult’ People

(WARNING: Your life as you know it is about to change)

“How can I handle difficult people?”

Answer – you can’t.

“Wait – what? You mean I’m stuck with them in my life?”

Answer – it all depends on how you look at it.

Your Good-Enough List (A critical Sanity-Saving Tool)

I recently attended a three-day women’s festival that I attended for the first time in 2016. It’s never the same the second, third or umpteenth time around is it? First of all, there’s that ‘first time newness’ that we can only get once. “Wow! Look at that!” “Goodness, that’s amazing!” And so on … because we are seeing things through fresh, first-time eyes.

In our subsequent visits, while we look for that same magic, but logically know it will be different than our beloved ‘first-time’. We then start to notice what’s not there that we liked the previous year(s), and lament “But I really liked that!”

So this year, I decided to focus instead on what was new, different and intriguing. And that’s how I came across The Release Tree.
