Imagine if you had the ability to tap into your creativity anytime, on demand, and joyfully so! You would accomplish so much more in your business and life. You could more effectively fulfill your creative mission and calling. I wish this ability for you. It is a skill that you can develop.

A reader asked: "How to stay on top of my big volume of tasks and not feel overwhelmed?" Think of tasks and information just like physical clutter: how do you solve that problem? Everything important goes into the right place. (What’s not important should be given away, recycled, or eliminated.) Then create a system for reminding you where the important stuff is.

Your life is actually working perfectly. Anything and everything occurring in your life has a system behind it. There’s cause and effect. You experience the effects. And you have more choice in the cause than you often assume. Even though there are causes beyond your control, you have a choice of where you will focus. Sure, we can blame others for the bad effects in our life -- other people, society, the economy, our upbringing, our genetics, or karma and the stars -- but every time we do this, we give our power away. I invite you to take on this idea: "I am more in control of my life experience than I can imagine."
I’ll be teaching an online course about how I organize my digital life with Google tools (google drive, docs, spreadsheets, chrome, calendar).
