Choosing Today over To-Do
Have you ever found yourself in a room with no idea why you walked in there or what you were going to do? Or maybe you’ve missed your exit on the freeway because you were thinking about something else. Or (this happens to me far too often and is kind of embarrassing) you are having a conversation with someone, and then you realize that you spaced out and have no idea what they just said… but you kinda feel like you need to respond. That is the worst!
If you give it a little thought, you can see …

What is Digital Well-Being (and Why Does It Matter?)
According to Android Authority, digital well-being is defined as “a movement concerned with controlling the amount of time we spend in front of mobile devices, the web, and technology in general.”
If we recognize we need to control it, that means we’re also acknowledging the potential harm that overreliance on screens can cause, such as shortening our attention spans and harming our productivity.

Stop and Smell the Weeds
One weekend morning, my husband decided that he was going to spray our yard for weeds. As he explained to our daughters what he would be doing and what would happen as a result, I watched their faces fall. They were devastated because their daddy was going to spray and kill the dandelions. They were weeds, he explained, and they were not good for the garden or the yard.
In response, my three year old exclaimed, “No, Daddy, they are fairies!” My oldest chimed in as well, “But Daddy, they are pre…

Mental Health for the Remote Worker
The work world has changed, and it’s not going back to the way it was. I recently read an article by Marcus Schwantes called, “How Covid-19 Exposed 3 Big Flaws in the Way We Work.” In it, he cited the 2020 Employee Care Report from employee experience software company, Limeade. Here are just a few of the staggering statistics:
- 44% of employees report feeling burned out.
- A burned-out employee is twice as likely to try to convince a coworker to leave their job.
- Millennials are twice as l…
Multi-tasking Can Kiss My A$$
Now that we’re all on video conferences all day long, you’ve probably had a moment recently where you were checking your email or browsing in other tabs or windows during a video call. Suddenly, you hear your name. You experience that “oh sh!t” moment, staring blankly at the screen as your mind scrambles to figure out what the heck everyone is talking about. It may even feel like your fellow meeting attendees somehow knew you weren’t engaged.
Similarly, when you’re only half paying attention to…

Put Your Oxygen Mask on First
If you’ve ever flown commercially, you’ve heard the preflight warnings about putting your oxygen mask on before assisting your child in putting on theirs. But it feels so counter-intuitive, doesn’t it? In today’s world, most parents believe their job is to do everything possible to provide an incredible and meaningful life for our children: send them to great schools, enroll them in excellent extracurriculars, teach them how to swim and play the piano, make sure they spend time with friends. We’…
May My Normal Life R.I.P.
In case you have not figured it out already, life looks a little different today than it did earlier this year. Somewhere around March 2020, many of us morphed from professionals into teachers, remote workers, therapists, future predictors, and pop tart hoarders, all while trying not to freak the heck out that the entire world was shutting down.
Sometimes, I think about what I would tell my old self if I had the opportunity to call pre-COVID Bunny, circa February 2020. Maybe it would go somethi…

Clarity Break
Back in January, I updated my autoresponder to let everyone know I was taking the month off. I specifically shared that the time away was for me to build an overarching strategic plan for the next year as well as plan ahead for each of my companies for the next three years. Not knowing at the time that just a few months later the whole world would be changing, I returned from this time away feeling refreshed and recharged. Obviously much has changed since then, but I still strongly feel the valu…
Reducing Overwhelm for Self and Team
Imagine, you wake up, open your laptop, and see over 10,000 emails. How do you feel? Either you think you’ve hit the jackpot, and those social media ads have finally landed, or you feel like you never should have taken that “no tech vacay” during busy season. Or maybe you’re somewhere in between.
With the world falling down around us in addition to the standard pressures of life, kids, family, and self-care, it is no wonder more and more individuals are reporting feelings of anxiety and overwhel…

Where Is Your Head?
Do you remember the old Superman comics where the only noticeable difference between Clark Kent and Superman was a pair of glasses? Of course, his bright leotard also comes to mind, but all he had to do was hop into a phone booth, and then, despite walking out with the same facial structure, hair, and even the same voice, suddenly no one knew who he was.
