104: How to Go From Chaos to Control - Productivity Guru Ciara Conlon Shows Us The Way!

This was our first episode where we leveraged both the call-in number and Google+ Hangouts! It was great to watch Ciara Conlon, a productivity coach, speaker, author of Chaos to Control speak to us and give a presentation on how to avoid getting overwhelmed. So often we get stressed and maxed out; whether it's our productivity system itself, home or work we all get there at some point. She provides some really great tips and best practices for all of us!

Here's a wonderful quote Ciara shared with us:

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. 

If you are anxious you are living in the future. 

If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

-Lao Tzu
