Hello!
Hello!I’m Elizabeth Harrin.
I’ve been blogging since 2006 or thereabouts – I’m getting old, I forget things. It was just before my first book came out, so that sounds right.
I’m a professional organiser. I organise work and other people for a living: I’m a project manager by trade.
Much of what I write is about project management, which is basically managing work. I realised that other bloggers were struggling with productivity and task organisation. Something I found came naturally because of my professional training as a project manager. What was I doing that other people could learn from?
Since 2017 I have been writing about how to get more done as a blogger with less stress and sharing tips for better blogging. Specifically, I write about organising your work, staying productive and effective without burning out and finding a balance that works for you.
On this blog you’ll find tips about blog tools and techniques to help you organise your blogging work. You won’t find advice on how to start a blog. For that, read this excellent article from Pete McPherson on starting a blog.
