So one year of blogging passed away, quite fast.  

What happened during this time? Looking back…
- I started blogging like crazy, read all I could on SEO and social network promoting, then decided I should just let my readers unfold as they come. And that’s how I got to this steady, smallish base of you guys, who drop by every once in a while
- I started coaching, and ended up with my full time job +  5 evenings per week completely filled with  coaching sessions and teleclasses for my coaching training. It was exhausting.
- I dropped it all to focus on my wedding. Then came the honeymoon. Then a new job. And transition became my number one priority.
- Currently, I’m posting less often, and stopped coaching, for lack of time. I really miss it! (if you want to become a client, keep reading – there’s news below!)

I want to say a big THANK YOU to you, who’ve been passing by this past year, reading, posting comments, encouraging me. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.
And thank you for inspiring me to keep going.

What’s coming up, in Year 2 of Life Toolkit?

My plan:

- to provide inspiration and link you with more awesome stuff I find on the net (the first thing is putting up a Blogroll on the right – check out some wonderful blogs I’ve been reading for a while)
- to build a better structure and category split for this blog, so that you can find your tools easier
- to write an Ebook about Time & Life Management. Some of the wisdom I find in other people, some of my own experiences, all put together. But procrastination being my dear old friend, I continuously postpone starting it.
- to keep coaching, and post learnings here. So if you’d like to get more organized, here’s what I’m opening up:

The Challenge: 2 Clients, 2 sessions, Life Changing Coaching.

In December, I’m going to do 2 Life Management Crash Coaching sessions (1-2 sessions, instead of the normal 12).
So, if you’re wondering what you want to do in 2011, how to organize yourself, how to change your job, or simply how to change a habit, we can work this out in 2 sessions.

To cut to the chase, there’s no cash involved – I’m doing this pro bono. We’re talking 2 sessions max, that’s 1 hour times 2.
I’m going to need all your commitment and seriousness. Normally coaching spans over a longer period of time, to really secure changes in the client. There’s a good reason why coaching relationships last minimum 3-4 months, so a concentrated “coaching pill” can only work on one area of your life.
So this is an experiment, and we’ll need to be extra focused and action oriented. I will ask you to do some work on your own between our sessions, and to come prepared even before the first one.

Are you up to it?
So, if you’re committed enough, give me an email, and check my schedule (on the right, appointments tab).

Thanks for visiting, and see you around!
