It seems like everyone- coast to coast- is complaining about the record heat! We should be used to it in Arizona, I mean c'mon, it happens every year 😎🌵

Back in Vermont, where I grew up, the old-timer locals would say, "Wicked hot!" or "Raining again? There goes the summer."

So, why don't we ever have a plan for something productive that we COULD do (and probably something we say we always want to get to 'someday') when the weather doesn't cooperate?

​

The weather is perfect in Arizona during the spring, so "spring cleaning" is NOT how I spend my time! However, summer here is extreme...like the several-degrees-below zero days I grew up with in the Northeast U.S. You do not plan on spending time outside when it gets extreme.

This is one of the reasons I use an "Academic" planner (the one teachers use). It spans July through June rather than January through December. There are several reasons this works best for me....

​

• I have a more laid-back schedule in the summer than at the beginning of a new year.
• I like to keep December-January free to reflect on the past year and the new year without the pressure of deadlines and scrambling to make things happen so I don't feel behind.
• It's too dang hot to do much else in the peak of the summer where I live now.

​

One of the best investments of my 'summer time' has been organizing my digital files, bookmarks, and photos. You know how I usually list My Favorite Things in my emails- well, this is my LEAST favorite thing...When I can't find what I am looking for when I need it! Arghhhh 🙄 You, same?

➡️ If your desktop is cluttered, your inbox is overflowing, and your bookmarks are a mystery even to you... you're not alone.

Digital clutter doesn’t seem urgent — until you realize how much time it’s actually costing you.

That’s why I want to tell you about something that made a huge difference for me.

It’s called The Digital Clutter Cure, and right now you can grab it for $100 off as part of the Summer Reset Sale.

This program was created by Lydia Martin, my digital systems coach, and I highly recommend it! (This is my affiliate link where I recommend the things I believe in without any additional cost to you 💙)

Inside the program, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Organize your files, links, emails, photos, and passwords (I HATE resetting forgotten passwords)!

Busy? You get lifetime access and can go at your own pace.

Running a business? Great — but this works for personal life too.
