Welcome!

I'm writing to you this week from sunny Girona ☀️⛳

I’m on a golf trip with 24 other amazing entrepreneurs.

(And no, before you ask, I’m not ditching business to go full-time pro golfer 😅... although after 18 holes and a few good swings, I might reconsider.)

Spending a few days out here reminded me of something important.

That I haven’t talked about before.

In golf you only get one swing at a time.

You don't stand there fiddling, adjusting and doubting yourself for 10 minutes

You don’t take part of a shot.

You don’t finish one hole and go back to the hole before to re-do it.

You line it up, take your shot, and move on.

And its the same with any task, email or to do that hits your desk:

👉 Touch it once

When something hits your desk, your inbox, your to-do list:
✅ Deal with it.
✅ Move it forward.
✅ Park it somewhere intentional
✅ Or give it to someone else

But don’t leave half-open, half-decided, half touched tasks, decisions and emails.

That "open loop" is where all of the overwhelm and procrastination creep in.

So Lets dig in

If you touch things once — decisions, emails, opportunities, projects — you keep your momentum high and mental clutter low.

And we love momentum.

Just like in golf: you don’t stand there forever holding the club.

You pick the shot.
You swing.
You move on.

So heres my quick guide on how to touch something once…

🧠 Decide immediately:
When a task comes up, either do it, delegate it, schedule it, or delete it.

📩 Inbox rule:
If you open an email, decide what to do with it right then — no “saving it for later” unless it’s scheduled.

🗓 Calendar it:
If something can't be actioned right now, book a time for it. Make a decision once — not 47 times in your head.

🏌️‍♂️ Trust your swing:
Take the shot. Action beats anxiety every single time.

You’ve got this always.

I’m cheering you on

On Focus on the Fun Stuff this week 🎙️ 

Ever feel like you’re crossing items off your list all day long… but still lagging behind?

I’ve been there. And after 17 years of running my virtual PA business, I've discovered it's not about being disorganised or bad at delegating.

No, I think those feelings of overwhelm often come out of five big myths we've all been led to believe about getting support.

(Lies which actually stop us getting the support we SO need. D’oh!)

So in the latest episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I tease out these five big myths and share a few insights on how to truly get support that actually makes a difference.
