If we’re lucky, we get 4,000 weeks.

So any job that leaves you

With a knot in your stomach before every meeting
Carrying tension headaches that follow you home
Constantly questioning whether you’re enough
So exhausted you don't enjoy family time
With 3am anxiety that steals your sleep
Wearing a mask to hide how you feel
Feeling guilty for switching off
Surviving your days

…is stealing precious time. That we don't get back.

Life's way too short for that.

Who else agrees?

Don’t leave it to someday.Make someday today.

Make someday today.

If you struggle to switch off on a Friday, I get it. It’s easy to technically finish work but still have it ticking away in your mind all weekend.

Here’s what I do every Friday to properly log off and enjoy my weekend:

✅ Tie Up Loose Ends – Quick check-in on tasks, finish what I can, and park the rest for Monday. Perfect to ensure there’s no mental to-do list following me around!

✅ Clear My Space – A tidy desk = a tidy mind. Stepping into an organised space Monday morning always feels so much better than a disorganised one.

✅ Set Boundaries – I let people know I’m done for the week and resist the urge to ‘just check’ my inbox. (It’s never just one email, is it?)

✅ Create a Weekend Trigger – Shutting my laptop, putting it out of reach, going for a walk, or hitting the gym,—doing something that signals ‘work is done.’

✅ Plan Something to Look Forward To – A slow coffee, a catch-up with friends, or even a Saturday morning Netflix session. Having a weekend ritual makes switching off easier.

If you find it hard to step away from work, try adding just one of these to your Friday routine. You might be surprised how much lighter your weekend feels.

Have a great one!

Ever wonder why we keep spreading ourselves so thin?

Why do we find ourselves caught in the cycle of saying yes to everything?

YES, I’ll stay late

YES, I’ll take on that project

YES, I can do that as a favour

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES

Are we hoping all these yeses will bring us closer to our goals or that people will notice our dedication?

But what are we actually doing?

Running on empty.

The reality is saying yes to everything doesn’t make us better.

It makes us burnt out.

We start compromising on quality.

Our health takes a hit.

The enjoyment of work is no where to be seen!

Yet, we keep going.

It’s as if slowing down might be seen as weakness.

But who is seeing it as a weakness?

Is it me or someone else?

What about next time you hear yourself saving yes to something you shouldn’t be.

You just stop and say No.

It’ll feel good , I promise you!! 😉

This week…

❌ Maybe a project you worked on for weeks got delayed, and left you feeling deflated.

❌ Perhaps you were juggling so many tasks that nothing quite got the attention it deserved.

❌ Maybe a client meeting didn’t go as planned, and you walked away feeling pretty meh!

❌ Or you had to tackle a tricky conversation with a colleague, and it’s weighed on you since.

❌You might have felt unrecognised for your efforts, as if your hard work goes unnoticed.

❌Perhaps you’ve felt unsupported by your team, leaving you to tackle challenges on your own.

Sound familiar?

Lets face it some weeks are just bloody hard work!

But the weekend is here, and it’s time to hit pause.

Don’t carry the stress and struggles home.

Leave it behind, recharge, and reconnect with what fuels you outside of work.

Monday is a new start.

But right now? It’s time for you. Enjoy the break – you’ve earned it. 👏
