Why starting over is the perfect time to get your money right!

Long story short, my web page has to start over again. Not only is it starting over but it will have to rebuild what it once had. With that being said, I am okay with it. Just like everything else, sometimes it is best to just start anew.

This is the accompanying website to my one-woman operation podcast. I also have a Facebook page and a very private Facebook group that is by invite only. I help women who have gotten a late start get a hold of their finances and take control so that they don’t end up old bitter hags who are still working even though they are well past the age of retirement.

Kidding . . . kinda . . .

Seriously though, take control now so that you can do what you want to later. I know it is hard. We all want to have that . . . .

Back to School with Distance Learning

September 14, 2020September 12, 2020Leave a comment

Virtual learning sucks. Now that we’ve got that out of the way it is the reality for millions of kids right now. How can you make it a little less painless? Well, you’ve got to have just enough organization in your life so that you won’t go crazy. What you won’t find with my system is perfection. What you will find is how you can make digital learning easier with just a little bit of planning beforehand. This is what I do to simultaneously make working from home and digital learning a little less painful.

Step 1

How do I get online? Relax? To make life easier, I give step by step instructions and print them out. I include screenshots of the sign-in page and their username/password. The instructions are included in their learning caddies.

Step 2

Classroom Caddy

Compartments to hold education items.

Space is at a premium at our home. With that being understood, everything has to be portable and easy to store. Keeping all of that in mind, I bought these classroom caddies. I let my kids choose their color theme for the year. Not so much so that it would look cute, but it will help them stay organized (without the arguments). I coordinated the colors with all the school required folders, notebooks, and such. Now they know whose stuff belongs to whom.

Step 3

It’s annoying but I sign up for any alerts that notify me about assignments that my kids need to turn-in. I hold both of my kids accountable for doing their work. Therefore, since they are only in third grade, they might not know what needs to be turned-in and graded.

Step 4

It’s five o’clock somewhere.

Wine. Yes, wine, lots, and lots of wine. Although, I save the wine for the weekend.

These are my tips for getting through the virtual school year. What are yours? Make sure you share them below in the chat. Make sure you are tuned into The Teacher Ces Podcast! Click here to listen: https://teacherces.libsyn.com/

Staying Healthy on the Road

March 16, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

You can tell an experienced business traveler from one who is new to the experience. It is easy for someone new to business travel to participate in excesses on the road. As business traveler, you are an adult and you are trusted by your company to conduct yourself in a businesslike fashion during your time out representing the firm. But it is easy to let the idea of an expense account and free time in a far away town get the best of you and to let yourself go as you travel.
These kinds of excesses are the types of behavior that you will see an experienced business traveler avoid. If you are setting out on a lengthy business trip perhaps lasting many weeks and traversing many cities, the road itself can take a toll on your health and well-being. The disruption to your normal life patterns, the hard work and the stress of making connections and moving from town to town can introduce levels of fatigue that can take a toll and even lead to illness on the road. And there is no more unpleasant experience than to be ill while traveling for business and to still have to do your duties despite your poor health.
It is for this reason that observing some strict rules of good living on the road will pay off over the life of the trip and make the rigors of travel much less serious. Much of the discipline of business travel involves simply introducing a daily routine to your life that includes some healthy activities so you can keep your physical, mental and emotional state in good shape and ready for business each and every day. Some simple but effective rules to live by for a healthy business travel experience include…
* Sleep routines. A good night’s sleep is something we take for granted. And to get into a rested state takes more than just a bed and an alarm clock. You have routines at home that you use to cycle down toward rest. Adapt those to life on the road and allow yourself that hour before bed to get ready to rest as well as ample time to rest as well as sleep. Both are necessary for good health.
* Regular exercise. Most hotels have an exercise room or pool you can use to get some motion into your muscles. Sitting in airplanes or conference rooms can cramp your muscles and keep you from maintaining good flexibility. Even if it is nothing more than taking a walk after dinner or doing some simple exercises at night in the hotel, give your body some movement so stretch those muscles and get some fresh oxygen into your blood.
* Time not working. For the sake of your mental health, take some time just for you. If you are in a town that has some fun things to see, get away from the business side of business travel and go to the zoo or a museum or see an attraction to give your mind a break from the stress of business. And take a few hours at night to relax in the hotel and read a book or watch your favorite TV show. You need that mental down time to recuperate and process all that is going on during your trip.
* Good foods. Don’t cave into the temptation to eat fast food. Look for restaurants that will serve you well-rounded meals. Make sure you eat fruits, dairy, vegetables, breads and good healthy proteins each day.
* Don’t drink. Alcohol, while fun, is a huge drain on your body’s resources. The time drinking and recovering makes demands on your body that take away from your stamina and ability to stay healthy each day. So avoid alcohol other than perhaps a glass of wine at night. You will survive the trip so much better if you are careful about your alcohol consumption.
Some of these ideas seem almost ridiculously simple. But if you have done any business travel at all, you know that sometimes the simple requirement of a healthy diet and some time to yourself to exercise and rest can be elusive in a busy work schedule. But if you make it a priority to live well on the road as you do at home, you will come home ready to deal with home issues without having that long time to recover from the trip.
