Times Up!

Posted on December 2, 2025

Deadlines are wonderful things. They help to ensure something gets done. However, often we fool ourselves into thinking we have time before we really need to start, or it will be fine, or even the deadline is not a hard deadline.

Try that thinking with life and death.

Should you really leave it all to the last minute? If not, then you better treat everything else the same way. Don’t put it off. Don’t wait for disaster to be right around the corner.

Attack every minor item on your to do list with gusto and get it done now! Otherwise delegate or delete it.

Best Time?

Posted on November 29, 2025

Was 1920-2000 the best 80 years in history to be alive? One may be able to make an argument for it.

The greatest wealth increase per capita seemed to happen in this period. There were huge social changes and great technological changes too. Voting rights and laws were improved. The tv, radio, airplane, medicine, peace, and the internet all became ubiquitous in this time. So did indoor plumbing and electricity!

There was no 24/7 information access. There was no AI. Jobs and houses were easier to come by in that era.

Perhaps this century is an even better time?! It depends how you look at it.

Down Time

Posted on November 28, 2025

Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.

Guard your down time!

Know When It’s Time

Posted on October 27, 2025

Timing is a critical part of life. Some timings you can affect and some you cannot.

When you decide to leave a party, that is your impact on timing. When your favourite superstar arrives at the party 10 minutes after you have left, that’s timing not in your control.

Everything is based on timing. A second too early or too late can change the course of your life. Yet half of it you can’t even control.

Focus on the timing you can affect and let the other ones be what they are.

Enjoy Time Together

Posted on July 12, 2025

Whether with your parents, spouse, kids, friends or whoever, enjoy your time together. Life is moving fast. Enjoy those moments before they disappear.

Whether it’s drinks on the deck or working through admin and papers, be sure to relish these moments as they won’t last long and may never come again.

Things Take Time

Posted on May 26, 2025

Pregnancy takes nine months. Babies take 18 years to grow and become adults. Even the Olympics takes 6 years to build, prepare or train for.

Assume everything might take longer than expected. Use this assumption to even go to your meeting today.

Things take time. Not forever but maybe a little longer than you anticipated.

Plan accordingly.

Spend Quality Time

Posted on April 2, 2025

There is work and admin, volunteer service and every day life but you need to carve out some time for you alone and to be with others.

Don’t just kind of do it though. Remove the distractions, put down the phone, turn off the radio and have nothing on tv.

Spend quality time means you are focused on each other, not other things.

Things Take Time

Posted on March 23, 2025

From booking a holiday, to medical appointments, buying a car and mortgage applications, things take a fair amount of time.

Not only do you need to really want to do the thing, you have to be willing to spend the time to organise and prepare for it!!
