Hello Reader, Take a second and think about how you organize your day. Some people are methodical spending time every day maintaining their list. Others do a once weekly (or monthly) reset and let everything go in between. The hardest part of time management is just how much there is to do! Work, home, school, meals, fitness plans, clothing, and then add how your schedule coordinates with the schedules of everyone living in your home as well. No wonder it's so dang hard to teach organization and time management to kids! When it comes to teaching kids time management, it's all about modeling.

I spend a lot of time researching and preparing for calls, and the current price doesn't reflect that. In August the prices of calls will be raised from $70 to $99. Calls will also be extended from 30 minutes to 45. If you've been thinking about booking a call, this is the time! You can buy a call to schedule now, or save for later.
