7 Tips to Energize Yourself

October 23 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Health, Productivity

A big thank you to Nature’s Bounty® Earthly Elements™ for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

We all have those days where we are just absolutely draggingggggg.

Sometimes even when I get a great night’s sleep, I still wake up feeling like I just don’t have the energy to get everything done that I need to do.

You all know that I love my coffee, but if consumed too much, that’s really not the healthiest way to get the energy boost that I need on those extra tough days. When I was pregnant with Little Miss, I liked to keep my caffeine consumption subdued and was forced to come up with some alternative ways to get me through my busiest days.

Today I’m sharing some of my top tips to energize yourself, and I hope these help you when you are having one of those days where you just can’t seem to snap yourself into being productive. [Read more…]

4 Ways to Stay Focused on Your Long-Term Goal

September 28 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Productivity, Self-Employment

Hi friends! Rebecca is sharing a great guest post with us today with fabulous tips on how to stay focused on your goals. Enjoy! XO Christina

How many times while trying to achieve a long-term goal of yours do you start to get unmotivated or off track? Sometimes it is hard to continually have the strong focus you had at the beginning of goal setting, months or years after you start that goal.

My husband and I are currently saving up for a down payment for our first house, so I wanted to share what we do to keep our eyes on the prize even though it’s probably another year and a half away.

While we are very fortunate to rent a pretty new 1 bedroom apartment in my hometown and we have very respectful neighbors and a good landlord, most of our friends are buying houses. Even though it is fun to see them get their first homes and settle in, it is also hard for us since we can’t wait until it’s our turn to move into the first place that will be really “ours”.

Today I’m sharing 4 things we do to stay focused and driven through our long-term goals! [Read more…]

August 24 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Health, Intentional Living, Productivity, Simple Living

Do you have a tough time setting boundaries with how much you use technology?

It’s no secret that I struggle with this myself, and is something that I shared when I talked about 6 Reasons You Need to Unplug from Technology.

This past weekend I stumbled upon an awesome infographic that confirms a lot of points I made in that post, and I wanted to share it with you all. It’s been a great reminder for me to focus on making sure I limit my technology use as much as I can. [Read more…]

Makeover Your Mornings – Course Update + Flash Sale

August 22 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Family, Intentional Living, Productivity

Hi Friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend!

I am having a great weekend besides for some pretty bad tooth pain. I actually have a root canal scheduled for Tuesday morning that I’m slightly terrified about. I know it’s a completely routine procedure, but I have a big time fear of dentists and am getting high anxiety just thinking about it. So if you have had a positive experience with one yourself, please do leave me a comment below letting me know that I’ll be just fine 😉 I need the extra encouragement!

Tooth anxiety aside, I wanted to pop in and give you an update on the Makeover Your Mornings course that I mentioned in this post a few weeks ago. I officially completed the entire course myself and am very happy with how it’s helped me to make positive changes in my own life. I’m also sharing some special deals that are happening with the course in the next few days, and I’ll talk more about them below. [Read more…]

How to Makeover Your Mornings

August 10 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Family, Intentional Living, Productivity

What do your mornings look like? Do you wake up feeling rushed and stressed out?

As a natural night owl, waking up early in the mornings has never been much of a priority to me in the past. I would either wake up to rush and get started on work, or wake up to Little Miss screaming for me to come get her.

Not exactly a serene way to begin the day on a peaceful and enjoyable note.

I have been very intentional with my morning time and getting out of bed well before I need to lately though, and I’ve noticed how much it’s really helping me set myself up for a day of success and fulfillment. [Read more…]

How to Get to Inbox Zero in Less Than an Hour

August 7 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Productivity, Self-Employment

I have a guilty confession to make.

This past weekend I sat down on Saturday morning to answer some emails and realized that I officially had over 2,000 unread emails in my inbox. Two THOUSAND.

My immediate reaction was feeling completely overwhelmed and as a result, wanting to slam my laptop closed and just walk away and pretend I didn’t see it. Very mature and productive, right? 😉 [Read more…]

The Importance of Making Time for Yourself

July 15 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Family, Productivity

Last week I had an especially daunting week as a Mom. I had a few days that felt extremely painful to just get through, much less be the usual fun and fully present Mom and Wife that I typically strive to be.

I felt really disengaged from my daughter and was in a funk that I just couldn’t seem to snap out of. l felt so guilty that I wasn’t being the best Mom I could be. [Read more…]

July 1 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Productivity

Regardless of how busy everyone is these days, we all have at least several minutes each day where we have free time on our hands.

Whether it’s 5 minutes while you’re waiting for your coffee to brew, 30 minutes on your train ride home from work, or a few hours on Sunday afternoon, we all have free time that we could be using more productively.

While I fully condone relaxing and spending time with your loved ones during downtime, sometimes it’s also nice to feel productive and as though you’re making the most of your day.

I know that I personally always feel proud and accomplished after I use my free time in a productive way instead of just wasting it watching TV or browsing the internet aimlessly.

I’ve put together a list of 26 productive ways to use your free time; I hope you enjoy it and find this to be motivating 🙂 [Read more…]
