My superpower is calming chaos. Hi! Thanks for being here. 😊 The foundation of my consulting practice and blog is based on my particular philosophy on productivity. **To me, productivity is about being intentional**. It's not about being a better worker bee or trying to squeeze more into each day. It's about knowing who and what's important and spending your precious time, energy, and attention on them. This philosophy is born out of some significant life experiences over the last 15 years, including: * Building and growing multiple businesses * Supporting my husband and business partner through cancer and recovery * Supporting our family through a close member's terminal illness and death * Living with Multiple Sclerosis and the impacts it has on my day-to-day * Navigating that whole pandemic thing ... and, of course, all the other normal ups and downs of life. I've learned a lot over the years, the most important being **time is not guaranteed**. Now, I help other entrepreneurs and business leaders: * Develop healthy habits and processes * Get clarity on their values * Spend time, energy and attention on truly what matters * Reduce and prevent burnout **My superpower is calming chaos. I would love to help you calm yours!** * * * The other stuff --------------- ### My background and experience * I have been a full-time entrepreneur since 2009. * I'm a co-founder of a software company called Code and Effect. We built UpsideAMS, association management software (AMS) for professional, regulatory, and member organizations. * I am a University of Alberta graduate with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology. * I have been writing, coaching and speaking since 2016. * I was awarded an Avenue Magazine Top 40 Under 40 in 2017. * I completed the Roy Group’s The Practice of Coaching course in 2018. ### Volunteering * I mentor entrepreneur teams in the Threshold Impact University of Alberta Venture Mentoring Service (TIVMS). * You can read the whole list of my past volunteer roles on LinkedIn. ### Fun Facts * My husband, Dana, and I have been together since we were 18 and business partners since we were 25. * I am an unapologetic cat lady. After the loss of our two senior kitties, Toby and Penny, we adopted Winston and Stella and are enjoying (most of the time!) life with young cats. * I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Yes, it gets obscenely cold in the winter. No, I do not enjoy it. * I have done some kind of fitness (yoga, outdoor running, HIIT, strength training, pilates, air bike) every single day since January 1, 2018. * I read around 80 books a year. I mostly read fiction, with a particular soft spot for fantasy, but I often also have a nonfiction book on the go. * Dana and I play video games together. My ideal Saturday morning involves pancakes, coffee, and gaming time. Our favourites are Diablo 3, all three Dark Souls, and Elden Ring. * I am a big NBA basketball fan. My Canadian heart cheers for the Toronto Raptors, but I watch many other teams throughout the season and read a basketball newsletter over breakfast every morning. * I have travelled quite a bit and try to ensure another trip is always on the horizon. My most recent one was my 40th birthday trip to Croatia and Slovenia! * * * Check out my blog or learn more about my productivity consulting and speaking. Wanna chat?

##### Last updated on March 3, 2025 This is a public list of ideas that I would like to work on someday. This is a copy of the ideas note I have in my Obsidian vault, where I jot down interesting projects, concepts, and thoughts that I find intriguing and might want to explore in the future. Since it is not practically possible for anyone to work on every idea they have, I thought it would be better to make this note public so that someone else might build it someday. Ideas that I’m currently working on are crossed out and have been moved to my projects page. Against each idea, I’ve added a short description to provide more context. If you are interested in any of the ideas mentioned below and want to work on them or collaborate with me, feel free to contact me. In case any of the ideas already exist, please let me know, and I will cross them out with a backlink to the project. **Vape with a Puff Limiter**A vape that lets you set the maximum number of puffs you can have in a day via an app or something! Looks like another person has thought about the same .**A Search Engine for Personal Blogs**I’m unable to search for content in personal blogs on google or any other search engine. Kagi small web is there, but it’s not personal blog specific.**A World Travel Lottery**A lottery with the grand prize as a fully-expensed, world travel package to visit n countries across all continents**Cricket Guard Line Projector**If you watch cricket, you can see batsmen often marking guard lines against the stumps by asking the umpire. Why can’t we have a laser projection of the stumps controlled by the umpire with a remote?**A cheap running tracker**There are multiple running trackers that you can attach to shoes, like Stryd , but these are quite expensive. Why is it so hard to make cheaper running trackers?**A platform to read both sides of an argument.**A moderated platform where a dedicated page is present for popular topics, and people can read about both sides of the argument.**Indian News Aggregator with relevance**India is struggling with misinformation and rigged news. The magnitude is quite high, considering the huge population, the demographics, and the rising internet penetration. A platform like News Minimalist that removes clickbait titles and filters relevant news would be useful for India.**Global Fish Database in different languages**Fishnames are tricky if you travel around the world. Within a country itself, fish names would be different. A global database of fishnames in all different languages would be great!**Bookmark for Videos & Podcasts**I wish there was a tool to record a particular timestamp on a video or a podcast so that I can watch it from the saved timestamp when I resume, rather than scrolling and finding the time.**Strava for Writers**Strava is a great tool to track your activities. As a writer, such a tool would be great to see the number of words written every day and also get a sneak peek at others’ writings.**About Me Collection**I love reading the About Me sections of various personal blogs. A curated list of the best about pages would be cool.**Evergreen Hosting** People put a lot of effort into their blogs, and most often, after the person passes away, these blogs go obsolete.

The Daily publishes several special issues every year, including a New Student Orientation issue, a Big Game issue and a Commencement issue. ### The Corporation The Stanford Daily newspaper is the primary holding of The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation. Founded in 1973, The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation operates as a California non-profit corporation headed by the paper’s editor-in-chief and business manager. ### History of The Daily The Stanford Daily is the independent, student-run newspaper of Stanford University. The Daily was originally founded as a small pamphlet known as The Daily Palo Alto in 1892 and has been a campus fixture ever since. The Daily strives to serve the Stanford community with relevant, unbiased journalism and provides its editorial, tech and business staffs with unparalleled educational opportunities. The Daily became independent of Stanford University in 1973 after a years-long clash with the administration spurred in part by disagreements over The Daily’s coverage of anti-Vietnam War protests. In particular, a strongly worded 1970 op-ed in the newspaper entitled “Snitches and Oppression,” penned by Diarmuid McGuire M.A. ’73, drew concerns from University administrators that the school might be held liable for any violence incited by the article. Independence for The Daily was thus a logical conclusion for both sides: The Daily’s disentanglement from the University would make it impossible for the University to attempt to influence reporting through financial withholding or other means, and the University’s disentanglement from The Daily would release it of any potential liability for content published in the newspaper. Thus, in 1973, The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation was incorporated in Santa Clara County as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Independence wasn’t the only consequence of The Daily’s coverage of campus antiwar protests; the publication also drew national attention when it sued James Zurcher, the chief of the Palo Alto Police Department, following a surprise search of The Daily’s offices for photographic evidence of protestors that the student-journalists and legal counsel deemed to be in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments. After a district court and court of appeals ruled in favor of The Daily, the case, _Zurcher v. Stanford Daily_, was brought to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1978, with the nation’s highest court ruling 5-3 in favor of Zurcher. The ensuing outcry among journalists and the public led to Congress’s passage of the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, which established the requirement of a subpoena to search newsrooms for unpublished materials. With the launch of its website in 1995, The Daily became one of the first college newspapers publishing on the Internet. The site is live and continuously updated throughout the year. It features content from the print edition, along with special Web-only content often including live blogs of sporting events and major campus events. The Daily moved out of its old offices in the Storke Publications Building to its new home at the Lorry I. Lokey Stanford Daily Building in 2007, thanks to the generosity of Lorry I. Lokey ’49 and hundreds of other benefactors, which would not have been possible without the titanic effort of Arthur Charles Hoffman ’73 MBA ’76.
