Why does everything always take soo much longer 🫣

Hi Reader

The weekly Backyard Gossip is just a little bit later in your inbox than usual, and just because everything ALWAYS takes longer than you think πŸ™„

You would think that as a Visionary Planning Coach, I would know this by now, but it still surprises me sometimes. Hence the reason why I find myself sitting behind my computer typing this e-mail later than usual on a Sunday πŸ’Œ

With less than 7 days before the moving truck is going to come it was time to sort out our belongings. Although we often declutter there are still things that will no longer serve us in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

First of all, because our appliances all work on 220V and Canada only 110V. Secondly, some things we will just not use anymore, and others are just due for replacement!

I thought we were going to "quickly" sort the stuff out in the garage and the storeroom. 5 hours later we managed - in true Marie Kondo style - to have three nice piles:

  • Stuff that goes into the shipping container
  • To Donate
  • Trash - not a lot!

Still to do, kitchen, office, bedroom! But we got 7 days left 😊

Despite the fact that today took us slightly longer, it's thanks to crucial planning that everything is working out so far!

Proper planning has always helped me out not only in my personal life but also in my business(es). As soon as I'm settled on the other side of the world, I'm planning to host a planning workshop 🀣

I'll make a plan to keep you in the loop - sorry, it was stronger than myself πŸ˜…

View in browser Hi Reader Can you please imagine it’s last Sunday - yes, the one where my β€œWeekly Backyard Gossip” went AWOL because, well, I was knee-deep in boxes, frantically packing for our big Canadian adventure πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ So here I am, two days, coffee in hand, ready to make amends and share a little confession. 😊 Have you ever found yourself justifying something… to yourself, or maybe even to others, when it really isn’t necessary? For me, it struck me during a small commitment I made to go...

Hi Reader It’s a special day for me today – not only is it my birthday, but it also marks the start of an exciting new chapter in my life. After months of preparation, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm moving to Canada! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ 🐻 On the 18th of November, I'll be embarking on a journey that will take me 40 hours, through three flights, one ferry, and finally to my new home on Vancouver Island. This beautiful place will be my base for the next two years while I pursue my MBA at Vancouver Island...
