  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
If you’re anything like me, ticking things off a to do list is one of the most satisfying parts of the day. But am I doing the right things, the things that will be most effective in getting me the meaningful results I want, the ones that will truly help me flourish? A lot of […]

What are the best apps for busy businesspeople?

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
Which apps would make your life easier and your work more productive? For someone very interested in productivity hacks and committed to the ‘iPhone and coffee shop’ lifestyle, I don’t feel I am making the best use of the huge number of apps out there designed to help ‘do things better’. I’d love to have […]

Self-awareness, a positive mindset and a sense of connection to our intentions are all critical underpinnings of successful change and sustainable progress. Contemplating what we want to do gives us clarity of purpose. Reflecting on what we’ve done helps us learn from experience. Yet ultimately, making the changes that will help us do better, be […]

Kickstart your productivity this year

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
One of my prevailing interests is in productivity and how to boost it. The ‘new start’ that January offers often sees a peak in my fascination with this topic. Since this is time of year heralds a general concern with resolutions, goals, commitments to ‘do things differently’ and ‘get more done’, I know I’m not […]

New Year’s Resolutions: What will you focus on?

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
I recognise that the start of a year is a somewhat arbitrary divide between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’, based on the social construction of the calendar. Yet I’ve always been fond of the opportunity it gives to reflect back on what’s happened in the last 12 months, to review any change, continuity, achievements, and […]

Do you make your bed in the morning? If you do, that’s good. If you don’t – yet – starting to do so could make a drastic difference to your clarity of mind. Sounds trivial, and yet in her extensive research into the habits that work for us, and against us, Gretchen Rubin, author of […]

Flow, the classic book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on how to achieve happiness and enhance the quality of life, argues that nine conditions need to be in place for us to be able to have an enjoyable experience, one that gets us ‘in the zone’ or into a place of ‘flow’. One prerequisite is that the […]

Go for Gold: What the Olympics can teach us about achieving our goals

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 0 Comments
In advance of the Olympics, my outlook on them was rather cynical. I’m ashamed to say I thought they would be a costly shambles in which Team GB would underperform. Not particularly a sports fan, I even went to the extent of being out of the country when they kicked off. Fortunately, I returned while […]

Following a great response to my previous blog post inspired by my Direct Line for Business calendar, I’ve looked to March’s page for inspiration. The suggestion for this month is to have no more than three priorities at any one time, on the grounds that ‘identifying three priorities will enable you to work with focus […]

Eat that Frog! by Brian Tracy

  • Posted by Liz Gooster
  • 1 Comments
Eat that Frog! is my favourite book on productivity, and I often find myself rereading it in January, to remind myself of the disciplines and practices I’d like to follow in the coming year. While there are 21 tips in the book, these are really just variations on a few key themes. These themes are […]
