Shaking Things Up
I’ve been using a dedicated email address for all my blog, ezine and special offers that I subscribe to. I’ve found over the years it’s much more efficient to have them separate from my main Inbox.
I had forgotten I took the URL this email address is attached to off of auto renewal. The URL expired last week. At first I panicked. I lost all my subscriptions (and after having had that address for 5 years I had a lot of subscriptions!). Then I realized I was given a clean slate. I created a new email address (one that won’t expire!) and immediately went to re-subscribed to the few blogs and ezines I read every time (which was about 1/3).
Looking back- I can see this was a gift. Losing all my subscriptions forced me to look at what I was really reading. Then it dawned on me – I created a bubble of information and was missing out on some really cool blogs and ezines.
This event left me wondering what other bubbles have been unknowingly created and what else needs to be shaken up….

I’m in the process of systematizing my practice. It’s not easy…I’ve always made it a point to not “follow” the crowd and not to place too many restrictions on myself or my practice. Now it’s coming back to bite me! I’ve been wanting to grow and do more. I made writing down my processes and systems this year’s intention. It’s been very painful! I’ve managed to complete my client interview and intake process in the first 4 months of the year.
I went to the library and checked out Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen. Hearing great things about the book…I was hopeful. Got home and haven’t been able to get past the first chapter. It’s not the book, it’s my mindset about systems and not wanting to be boxed in. This sucks…
If you have any feedback on how to make this easier let me know!
And wish me luck…I still have 8 months left in the year to fulfill my intention!
