When I wrote the post Decluttering Daily Leads to Writing Daily on 14 January 2020, I didn’t know where it was going to lead. For anyone that isn’t following me on blog.sandramadeira.com, why not hop over and have a look at a selection of the 366 posts that show my daily decluttering and clearing progress … Continue reading
On New Year’s Day 2020, I decided to start a challenge on my other blog to declutter or introduce a mini system around the house every day in order to reduce the amount of stuff and provide more clear space. Yesterday whilst I was writing my thirteenth post, I thought about how happy I was … Continue reading

I’m just going through what I believe to be the final edit of my book Juggling Life, Kids & You and I’m stuck on the word inbox. I have 4 instances of ‘inbox’ and 20 of ‘in box’. Which is the correct one? On turning to Google, I cannot find anyone that has written in box … Continue reading
I used to post daily on this blog until my writing challenge ended on 30 April this year. I then promised to post regularly but have only managed four posts since then, with the last one being almost two months ago (and have only managed a couple of posts on some of my other blogs).

Alternatively you could be waiting for an email, a letter, a competition entry, or just to see if your book idea has been … Continue reading
You may remember from Note 336 – The 7 advantages and 7 disadvantages of daily blogging, that I always tend to leave the task of ‘writing or editing my blog posts’ until late at night (which isn’t always my most productive time). Now, I’d like to introduce you to a book I read a couple of years ago … Continue reading
11 months down, 1 to go! With just 30 days to go on my 366 day Writing Challenge, I am pleased to say that it’s been an enjoyable experience, but also very time-consuming. Blogging every day (in addition to a day job) without a break can be exhausting some days and it’s not something I’m … Continue reading
Whilst listening to an audio programme called ‘How to Stay Motivated’ by Zig Ziglar, I heard him say “The person who learns so they can teach is a much happier individual than the one who shows off on television talk shows and answers some of those trivia questions”. Interesting quote! I love learning, and then blogging about what I’ve learnt so that … Continue reading
