The Focus Keeper app is based on the Pomodoro Technique, which creates timed intervals, usually 25 minutes, with breaks between. I introduced Will to my favorite productivity tool of all: Focus Keeper. Learning how to manage these things is a process in and of itself–and don’t I know all about it from my own transition to working from home in the last few years. This is a tough age for kids–things like responsibility and time management are starting to play a role in their everyday life. Recently, I had a mother/son moment that I’d like to share because it was a really good “parent win”–sometimes, I feel like those are far and few between so I like to celebrate them.Ī few days ago, Will (13), came home with an especially hefty homework load and I could sense that he was overwhelmed from the minute he walked in.Īfter some conversation and weeding through the ever-elusive and limited 13-year-old information sharing, it was clear that the source of his angst was more about not knowing where to start or how go about tackling it all without getting burnt out. Then I head back to my desk with a full heart and a reminder that I was loved. I get up from my desk and say, “looks like I have a visitor.” I approach the window. Her beak is brilliant orange and she wants me to know she is out there. She is the most gorgeous, plump cardinal I have ever seen. Somewhere in that cycle my visitor comes a knocking. Food and nourishment is always at an arm’s length.Įveryday I set up shop there. It’s the place my family gathers most, our headquarters. The kitchen has always been where I feel most at home– If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed that I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. The process is both cathartic and reflective and I thoroughly enjoy having the freedom to brain dump, get deep, and share some worthy highlights with you. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to writing for our new series, “Cozy Catch Up”.
