Squarespace Web Designer & Educator

Hi Reader, Batching content is a great way to get 'more done faster', –if you're doing it right. I always thought it meant do a bunch of similar tasks in the same time period, but specifically do them each from start to finish, back to back. So I'd write down a bunch of ideas for new posts/content one day... and then when I was ready to work on those, I'd write one whole post, make the graphic, schedule the post, and then start over for the next one, –over and over again in that cycle. Later...

Hi Reader, Me with 1 of our horses My husband & I both grew up on farms with livestock, pets and lots of open space, so we're both familiar with the hard work–DIY–mentality.

You...

That fear spreads like wildfire & infects everything we do. 🔥 I get it! We are concerned for the RIGHT reasons: we don’t...

Hi Reader, Last week was crazy, ––no. This month has been crazy, ––nope. This whole year so far has been nuts. 😂 I've heard a lot of people say things like, 'it's been a whole year since January' and I'm feelin' that too. I haven't finished testing my Markup replacement options yet, but I do have some general updates for you! my WalkFit 'streak' With all of the crazy going on, I'm SO thankful for my WalkFit app! Even in the chaos that is my calendar some days/weeks, it's actually helping me...
