How many times have you said there are not enough hours in a day?
I work for myself.
My time is my own.
So why am I always working?
Will I ever make enough money to slow down?
How can I be more productive?
Does this sound like you?
It's not easy being your own boss. But if, like me, you have chosen to be an entrepreneur, chances are you have realized that the benefits outweigh these potential downsides.
I love working for myself.
But sometimes I dream about having a day job I can leave at the office.
Working for yourself can be a challenge.
While it can offer flexibility, freedom and empowerment,
self-employment can also mean:
- Less job/income security without a steady paycheck
- A lack of accountability for business goals
- Little or no collaboration with peers
- Lack of confidence and awareness of best practices
- Loneliness when working alone most of the time
- A never-ending list of things to do
The key to being a happy entrepreneur is developing productive habits and finding tools and tricks to make life easier.
Let me share ...
I love sharing ideas, suggestions, tools and tips on being more productive and running a WordPress website agency or small/solo business. I frequently read about and practice new ways to be more efficient and effective at serving my clients and operating my business. Whether it is a digital tool to help with productivity, a strategy to enhance the services I offer my clients, or a WordPress plugin that will improve the performance of the websites I create, sharing information with you is a way for me to document my progress as a business owner, while helping others who may be on the same path.

2024 Year In Review
In 2024 I feel like I continued to grow up. The realization of a goal to go to Ireland and gather a group of wonderful people to go with me was definitely a highlight of the year. I enjoyed many other memorable moments and feel so fortunate to be living this life! For the first…
2023 Year In Review
2023 was an odd number year and I’m a fan of even numbers … but it was overall a good year nonetheless! I hit my stride with the pizza making (after several big fails – cue the toppings on fire inside the Ooni oven!) My word of the year was “Creativity,” and while I can’t…
2022 Year In Review
Overall, 2022 was a good year. I was so happy to return live get together and events, and to travel to see family and have adventures. I also continued to learn new recipes and methods for making pizza in my Ooni pizza oven, and enjoyed making pizza every Friday! I achieved my goal of doing…
Creating Productive Habits and Avoiding Procrastination
Developing and maintaining good habits to be productive can be a challenge. On the other hand, it’s easy to develop a procrastination habit. For me, I suddenly feel hungry when I am about to start working on a project I am not excited about. Since I work from home, I wander into the kitchen, roam…
2021 Year In Review
2021 Review Last year was hard. The novelty of isolation wore off. Life was supposed to return more to normal, but it never really felt normal, and maybe never will. I was a bit less motivated to make changes, and that’s ok, because I am pretty happy with my routines and habits. I lost two…
