Want To Delegate Your Way to a Better Place?

Anyone in my orbit understands that I am “Mrs. Planner.” My husband is “Mr. Planner.” That’s how we roll. It’s not really our surname, but well, it would fit.   With all we have going on, we must map our days, weeks, and months ahead. We pick paths, and we move on them with purpose.   That […]

When Planning Clicks, You Know It's Right

We rely on devices, but they distract us, too.   That's why I plan on paper. I'll tape flip chart-sized Post-it notes on the walls and talk strategy and tasks with my husband, who is also my business partner.   It's a visual process that suits us well.
