I recently stumbled on an article about the idea of ‘conscious uncoupling’ in the New York Post, and it got me thinking about the ways I intentionally separate myself from my work.
I’m a lot more productive and happy when I’m not thinking about work all the time!
That’s probably true for you, too.
I am a huge Marie Kondo fan, I love how she know how to make decluttering look so simple. In reality though I sometimes find decluttering and ongoing and tiresome task. Besides what exactly do you do with your wardrobe once it’s decluttered? How do you make it work for you?

We’re just a few days away from spring – it’s the perfect time to reevaluate your productivity style!
What’s working and what could use a little help?
Maybe you hit the ground running when the New Year started and now you’re losing steam on your projects.

Every three months I do an accountability call with the students from my Listful Thinking Masterclass. We discuss the ways they’ve implemented the course into their day to day lives, and we also talk about their latest ventures in productivity.
