Manage Overwhelm in Times of “Crazy Busy”

The “Ease” Summer Give-away (ease-y reading!)

It’s the Ease Summer Give-away! It’s summer and the ‘livin’ is (supposed to be) easy. To celebrate the season, I’ve decided to share a bunch of content from my book, Ease, for you to read at your leisure.

“Ease-y” and quick to read — each section (Chapter or Tool) will take about 2-3 minutes to read (max 4 for the longer ones).  The whole table of contents is laid out below — and the ‘freebies’ are hyperlinked. I may add more in the days ahead so check back soon.

Don’t procrastinate! I’ll be taking a few of these down after Labour Day so make sure you have a chance to dip in sooner than later. You’ll need these strategies when the busy, busy, busy season begins (September – but for many of us, it’s year-round).

Oh one last bit: I’m delighted to share this content to give you a good taste of “Ease” with guidance and tips for times of ‘crazy busy’. I’d be even more delighted if you wanted to read it ALL. To do so – just hop onto the ‘buy’ page on this site and find a retailer of your choice. Tip: the online versions are the best pricing but if you like hard copies, please get yourself one.
