Welcome to A Lovely Year

strategies to help you use your time well

Imagine your life one year from now.  How would you like your life to look? How would you like to feel? What would you like to have achieved?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to look back on a year well spent? A lovely year spent enjoying your days, fulfilling your goals, tackling your challenges and feeling accomplished. And then look forward with anticipation and excitement to the year ahead.

I can help you get there. I’ll help you to use your time well.

I’ll help you focus on the little things. The little things every day, every week, every month and every season. All the little things that will help you have a lovely year.

I’ll show you how to stop feeling overwhelmed and busy with “stuff” – how to make the most of your time.  How you can boost your happiness, get organized and feel accomplished.

Who am I?

Hmm…well THAT’S a question I’ve been asking myself for the last 40 years or so…:-)

I’m Liann. I love books, podcasts, simplicity, self-improvement/personal development and life-long learning. I’m an Obliger (Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies) and an ISFJ-T (16 Personalities)

I LOVE to travel and explore new places (Japan is my favourite country to visit so far, closely followed by Norway…)

And I love ALL the seasons.

I grew up in New Zealand and Australia and now live in Scotland with my husband and son. One of my favourite things about living in the UK is experiencing the seasons. I love how each season is distinct, with its own sights, sounds and feeling.

As I’ve grown older I’ve noticed how the days, months and years have started to speed up – how sometimes it feels as though they all blend together. And how they become filled with a seemingly never-ending list of things to do.

I’ve realised just how important it is to use your time well. To be intentional with how you spend it.  And I’ve learnt that focusing on and celebrating the simple things, the things that matter, will create a lovely life.
