I do enjoy travel, and sometimes get a good bit of work done when doing so. But I used to find there were all these things i wanted to get done…but I wasn’t at my iMac with the nice Yeti microphone and the webcam and the camtasia video editing software and the faster speeds and

On Monday, for the first time in 28 weeks, i stepped on the scale and had a gain of 1.4 pounds…and absolutely no idea why. I have only gained twice in that time period, and both times I had specific reasons that helped it make sense, and both were under 0.6 pounds each time. But
Some days, or parts of days, you’re just not productive. You’re not targeting your goals or firing on all cylinders or crushing it. You’re not reading impactful books or watching helpful documentaries. You’re not going to the gym or cooking a healthy meal or having insightful conversations. You’re just…tired. Or are you? Are you ever
My company needs a marketing manager. I’m hijacking my Karen’s notes this week to ask for your help. No matter how much we do in terms of recruitment, the best hires often come from someone knowing someone else. We’re firm on what we want (and don’t want) at PF, we have a fairly intensive hiring

Still on holiday this week (now I’m on the Isle of Skye). So instead of a full Note, here’s a sketchnote from an event I went to, which gave me a great deal to think about as a business owner. The topic was “strategy”, which can sound really boring. It’s been used and overused until
I’m on holiday on the Isle of Mull (my favourite island of them all). So, instead of a Note this week, I’m going to suggest you watch the “Call to Courage” by Brene Brown, on Netflix. I watched it last week – and I tried to watch it whilst doing other things. Ironing, sketchnoting, emails,
I get stuff done on deadline. But only when the deadline involves other people. Deadlines work for me because I care about other people. Sometimes to the exclusion of myself, which i’m working on, but I really hate letting people down. If I say I’ll send something Friday, it may be midnight, but I’ll get
