What We Recommended:
Tools & Apps
Google Calendar “we run our lives on Google Calendar”Google Docs “we use a lot of Google docs to share information or share, you know, lists and spreadsheets and project management stuff.”“as a team we have a Facebook group. Because we’re all on Facebook most days, so if there’s something that we thing we should look at or as an idea or, you know, we just go in and stick it in the Facebook group and then we know we’ve all seen it.”Teamwork a team project tool “handles all of the to do lists for all the different team members. And that’s what we’ll use as the basis of our team meeting.Other Resources
Metabolic Balance – “one of my clients who introduced me to metabolic balance, which is how we now eat in this house. But metabolic balance is something that really helps answer all of those questions about like, you know, what is actually good for me, what’s not good for me, what does my body like. Because it’s all scientific, you have a few blood tests, it works out what your body likes and doesn’t like and in what combinations, and it really just helps your body to work the way it’s supposed to.”Books
‘Find Your Thing’ by Lucy WhittingtonSeth Godin and Jennifer Manson (The Flow Writer)Marie Kondo and her tidying, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying“.Tips
“I try and have like a theme for the day so I know kind of what mode I’m in. So I’m either, you know, if I’m going to do loads of calls, I’d rather do them all in one day than have the odd one here and there because I find that really kind of breaks up your flow.”“So my secret ninja tips are, hire other people to organise you. I have a PA, I have a project manager, I have other people in my business who organise me and help me get things done. And also just knowing that other people are taking care of things, or even just knowing that there might be a hundred things to do on my to do list, but I only actually have to do three of them today, and not keep worrying about those other ninety-seven. That actually really helps.”“Having whatever system you need to only give yourself small pieces of, you know, things to do, or pieces of information, or learning or whatever it is, at a time, makes a massive difference. Because otherwise your head’s just too full of thinking about all the other million things to even focus on the two or three things you’ve given yourself.”“I consciously make sure I get exercise, I consciously make sure. Like for example, where I can, we’ll walk or bike the school run. So even if it’s like twenty minutes each way if we walk it, but it’s getting out, getting some fresh air. I love boot camp on the beach. I do that every Saturday whenever possible. It’s a kind of love hate thing, you know? Kind of hate it, but I kind of love the smug feeling I have after I’ve done it.”“On learning, I think what’s really important is you recognise what you need to know next and what you don’t know at the moment.”“I read a lot, I love to read. But I know also that if I’m going to do new learning I’m very much I have to be in the room person. So having bought several of them and always got to about class two and then never done anymore, I know that online learning’s not how I learn best. So I’d rather just go and spend a day with someone or, you know, sit in a room or attend an event or a retreat and do it that way, because I know that’s how I will learn best. But everyone’s different.”To Contact Lucy
