Are you trying to settle on a new approach to work, balancing some days in the office and some days at home?

When it comes to achieving our big goals and focusing on our top priorities, mastering habits is key. Our habits help us bridge the gap between our intentions and our actions and enable us to do activities automatically. After all, activities we do only occasionally are infinitely more challenging.

Here are 5 ways you can use habits to inspire your own new beginning, invest in your wellbeing and productivity, and help you make time in your day for what matters most.
We have an abundance of choice when it comes to setting goals and dreaming up our next great achievement. This is a gift.

At Clear Concept, we call this productivity tool your MAP because it’s your guide to prioritizing and getting things done.

The power of routine is how it allows us to block time for the priorities that matter most. Establishing a solid routine leads us to healthy, productive and successful habits. And perhaps most importantly, as we continue to adapt to a different way of working, we can look to our routine to reduce overwhelm and calm anxiety. Our routines may look a little different than they used to but the basic principles of building and keeping a routine still apply. If you are having trouble adjusting your routine to a different way of working, let us help.
Do you ever feel as though your day runs you instead of the other way around? When we are pulled in many directions (as so many of us are), it may feel like we have no control over our own time. We find ourselves working longer, waking up earlier, and generally feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Anyone who juggles multiple priorities knows this feeling. When things get like this for me, I have a handy little tool I like to use to get me back on track and reclaim control. It’s my filter. The Simplify Filter, that is. Here's how it works...
There are many benefits to building and keeping a routine. Routines help reduce our stress and ensure we make every minute count by blocking time for our top priorities.
