Today we are talking about Idea #15 to help you get even more done, which is to get in tune with your intuition. Many people believe that relying on their natural instincts or “gut reaction” always results in the best decision. Often, we just don’t know enough to make a fully informed decision, so our gut reaction must take the role in the choices we make. No one is expected to make perfect decisions all of the time. Choices and deciding are not about being perfect. This is about making decisions that you don’t regret in the future. Hindsight is 20/20 because we know the ou…

I came across this quote by Muriel Rukeyser "All the poems of our lives are not yet made". When we retire, some of us want to continue to write the poems of our lives, but others only want to read the poems they have already written. Retirement is a time of reflection and renewal, a chance to honour the past while embracing the possibilities of the future. Yet, it’s easy to hold too tightly to what has been, forgetting that the road ahead is still full of untapped potential. I encourage you to embrace the following truth that all the poems of our lives are not yet made. There is still t…

We all get that sleep-deprived feeling sometimes– fuzzy brain, grumpy mood, and the desperate need for another (or a fourth) cup of coffee. But what Susan and millions of others experience goes far beyond a rough morning. Sleep isn't a luxury; it's a biological necessity for maximum effectiveness.
