14 May 2009 20:35 Lightbulb moment - Do you want to stop procrastinating?
Posted by: nina
This is the final week that all clubs are offering free membership. This outburst of generosity is to celebrate the reception that the three new clubs (Bath, Brighton Brighton and Hammersmith) have had, which has been great. It's still £15 for each workshop (£10 concessions), but the £10 membership fee is being waived.
I've been running our How To Make Every Minute Count workshop in lots of wonderful companies this week - from British Airways to Addleshaw Goddard the solicitors. The workshop briefly covers procrastination (next week's topic) and it's always amazing to see just how many of us suffer from procrastination - everything from putting up shelves procrastination to booking holidays procrastination. As usual, there are lots of helpful tips around on the internet as to how to deal with it: do one undesirable job each morning... break tasks down... etc etc. but until you know what the reason for procrastinating is, you'll probably not be able to beat it. So, come along and find out what's stopping you.
If you could look back from the vantage point of having completed that task, what advice would you give yourself?
If you want to read what I'm procrastinating on, have a look at my blog (http://lifeclubs.blogspot.com/) or come along to my club on Wednesday.

07 May 2009 11:04 Lightbulb moment - Making your relationships work
Posted by: nina
We've been so thrilled with the reception that the three new clubs (Bath, http://lifeclubs.co.uk/clubs/display_club_content/84 and Hammersmith) have had, that we're offering free membership to all clubs next week (Week of 12th May) and the week after (Week of 19th May). I do hope those of you who've been hesitating about coming will have a peek - and do tell your friends around the country. One of my first time clubbers came back this week and said she had left last week skipping and wanting more. Come and join her. Just print out this bulletin and bring it along to your club.
A young friend of mine is in the throes of a difficult decision. Should she succumb to the excitement of a brand new relationship or stay with her long-term boyfriend where (up to a point) passion has been replaced with irritation? Next week's workshop, Making Relationships Work, is just about this topic. What happens between meeting someone new and the realisation that they're just not who you thought they were? It's the same for all relationships - platonic, romantic and colleagues. One day you're intrigued and fuzzy around the edges. The next (or maybe several years later) you're critical and disillusioned. What goes wrong? Who changes? You, them or both? Come along and find out how to cope with the fallout.
What one thing annoys you most about others? And can you see that trait in yourself?
On the subject of relationships, proud mum wants to show you the wonderful trailer two of my friends made for my 10-year old and the film he's making. Enjoy listening - I can't wait to see the finished thing and do check out my blog too, for more.
