WFH Feeling Off? Try This Simple Fix
|
Reset with Intention, Not Overhaul Have you ever had a piece of tech — your phone, your laptop, even Alexa — start acting weird for no reason? That happened in our kitchen recently when my husband got into a full-blown shouting match with Alexa because she absolutely refused to play the music he wanted. He tried rewording. He tried repeating. She was calm but stubborn. Finally, I unplugged her. Waited 30 seconds. Plugged her back in. Problem solved. Sometimes, you don’t need to replace the device or reprogram it from scratch. You just need to reset it. It’s the same with working from home, Reader. When your days feel scattered or your systems are a little out of sync, you don’t always need a massive overhaul. You probably just need to unplug, reset, and plug back in — in a way that brings you back into alignment with how you want to work and live. This week’s blog post shares 3 simple WFH reset rituals you can start right away — no “total life reboot” required. These are quick, grounding routines that help you regain focus without burning everything down and starting over. 👉 Read the full article here »

Bad Week? Don’t Let It Define You Reader, can we be honest for a moment? Some weeks just stink. You plan your time, set your goals, and then life throws curveballs: The dog pukes on the carpet. Your internet goes out. Your back goes out. A client cancels at the last-minute. By Friday, you feel like you’ve lost all your momentum — or worse, like you’re failing at this whole business thing. Here’s the truth: a bad week doesn’t erase your progress. Just like sourdough starter rises, falls, and...
Systems Are the Secret to Sustainable WFH Success Reader, if you’ve ever tended a garden, you know this truth: growth doesn’t come from a single big push. It comes from small, steady rhythms — watering, pruning, weeding, supporting — done consistently over time. Your work-from-home business is no different. It’s not just about hustling harder.
