Executive PA magazine October 2010 - Leave Work On Time

-
From an article I wrote on productivity, published in October by Executive PA magazine.

"Dolly Parton thought it was tough working nine to five, but for many Australians that’s a short day. We work more than two billion hours of unpaid overtime each year and some of the longest days worldwide, according to a survey by The Australia Institute.
If you can’t remember when you last left at five and reckon Dolly has it easy, learn to leave on time with these five tips and tricks that start first thing each morning – and some before that."

Please contact me if you would like to read more, or for more information.

Published in MX : Jingle Balls - how not to do your Christmas shopping

-

This piece ran in MX, a daily Australian transport newspaper. Wishing you all a pleasant holiday season and see you in 2015! Despite the tinsel and sparkly lights and fat bearded men in bright red suits, I find Christmas a sneaky season. One again, December has rolled round and I haven’t even bought my Mum a pressie yet. Every year, all the magazines advise shopping early and taking advantage of the January sales. I read them, think “what a good idea, I’ll do that” and then forget. So, instead of basking smugly with a glass of wine, I’m gearing up to battle maddened parents and frazzled assistants who have been tasked with finding an intimate present for their bosses partner - or partners. At the  start it's easy to be  optimistic  and  energized  - ready to shop and roll, baby. You  start  thinking big. Wouldn’t it be great if you got everything in one shop? You’d be finished!

A fat chick's guide to the Couch to 5k, exploding prostates and a great arse.

When it comes to diet and fitness, it appears the old fashioned options make people nervous. While I can announce I’m following the latest celebrity diet and get polite interest in response (after all, how can you go wrong following the directions of genetically-freakish neurotic stick insects who have embraced size zero as a concept), every time I mention I have taken up running people tend to respond with shock and admonishments. Never mind that I am following a conservative program, the Couch to 5k , so called because it aims to get you from being a non-exerciser (that’s the couch) to running 5 kilometres comfortably in nine weeks of training. Never mind that I am an unfit cow who could clearly benefit from getting up off her fat ass. Never mind that I can see the results in my fitness, shape and heart rate after a few months. Never mind that it appears to be working and I enjoy it. It won’t work, they tell me. Jogging is too hard. It’s strenuous and bad for my joints, they wail...

Red Rock Writing and me

-
I write for businesses so you don’t have to. Whether that’s websites, funding applications, blogs, case studies, reports or tenders – if you need it written, I can probably help. Don’t know what you need to get the results you want? That's where project managing comes in. I can help you work out that out, and then plan it with you and provide you an ongoing writing service to support your business needs. I offer writing services on a project basis as well as longer strategic solutions, including fractional copywriting. How fast will I do it? Every project is different but if you know your scope, tone, length and keyword/s, you can expect a turn-around of 3 - 5 working days. I can take on rush work, subject to a fee and availability. Need some guidance on what will make your idea shine? I can also work with you to tease out your business needs; it will take a little longer, but it will be worth it! Want to see my business?   Head to Red Rock Writing where I work with SMEs who need ...
