You know how things fall into place sometimes? You hear what you've heard before but this time you really listen and you're moved to action.
 

That just happened to me. Inspired by three clients who have made great use of 30 day challenges, two for their art (which is their business) and one for interior design, I did a 30 day challenge for making videos in my business.
 

Honestly, I learned as much about making videos as I did about my presence, my persistence, and the value of my group. The "Glisten Circle" hails from Spain, Ireland, and the east, west and southern coasts of the U.S. That's my first article. 
 

The other article is a well thought out but fast read. "46 small steps to save time" includes ideas I've used in our life along with some the clients use.

Below is my ever-growing “simple ways to save time” list. These are small, mostly easy ways to save time. No big overhauls. Small things to simplify.
