How I Batch Tasks in Different Areas of My Life

It's been a while since I shared my thoughts on batching tasks and I realized it's not something I've talked about enough - at least in terms of how much I value it. First up, if you aren't familiar with what time batching is, it's essentially grouping similar tasks together. From answering emails for an hour straight to running all errands while I'm already out of the house to shooting a lot of content at once (while I'm in full makeup and hair), I batch non-stop. It's something that became even more important once I had limited time as mom and then even more important once Quarantine went into play and we didn't have childcare. ...

Helpful Graphics to Share With Your White Friends and Family About Racism, Privilege and Equality

Source: @ohhappydani Something I've learned over the last few weeks is that one of the main reasons white people, myself included, do not like to talk about racism, privilege and equality with our friends, family and peers is because it's uncomfortable. And a message I've really taken away from the Black community recently is that if we ever want to help create change, we have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. ...
