How Structures Can Bring Freedom
Structures, they’re a bit like marmite, you either love them or hate them.
I’ll be honest, as a constant seeker of freedom I’ve been avoiding structures for quite some time (I also have a pretty great memory so who needs a to-do list right?).
I’m going to let you in on a secret about structures (and some of you reading this already know because you loooove structures) the secret is that structures give you freedom. Whaaaat? I know, I didn’t believe it either I’ve been resisting them for years!

Ridding Ourselves of 'Spender's Guilt'
Picture it. You’re online having a browse, say you’re looking at shoes. You happen upon a really lovely pair of trainers. They’re in the sale, and you look down at your own that are getting on a little bit now and decide to click ‘add to basket’. There it is, the guilt.
