3 Words for 2019
The magic of three words, Insanitek, and how I’m planning of making it happen. Oh, it’s time to defeat that ADHD while growing the company and self.

ADHD Secrets to an Organised Life
There is no denying that I’m a woman, and I spend a large majority of time cleaning and organising. (Lab gear counts, right?) But I have a confession to make: I’m not the most organised person in the world. And, despite my disciplined upbringing of cleaning every Saturday morning before I could go play, sometimes […]

Do Only The Essentials?
This past month has been chaos. My birthday, a mini vacation that my husband planned, jury duty two weeks in a row, and the insanity of trying to stay on top of the things that absolutely needed to be done on top of it. Before this, though, I listened to an audiobook called Essentialism: The […]

Hitting The Wall of Incompetence
We can’t be the best at everything we try. We can be good, or even great at many things. But, we can never be the best, infallible and constant in that perfection. Eventually we’ll find a balance. We rise to the level of incompetence. This was explored in the 1969 book called “The Peter Principle” […]

Today Marks Another Year of Learning
Oddly, I don’t talk about myself or my personal goals on this blog very often. But today is a special day to me as it marks the day I’ve made it around the sun one more time. This month is also going to suck. I’m slated for jury duty not just once, but twice. Back […]

Leading without being bossy
Leadership is one of those words that’s getting tossed around a lot lately. So much that it’s an empty buzzword for many people. It’s really not fair for those that truly want to be a good leader – balancing the harder things in life with what could be – not just for you, but assisting […]

Growth is a difficult decision
This past year Insanitek has looked at growth incrementally and begun to hire more tutors. It wasn’t easy, though. Trying to figure out the balance of running lean enough to keep things going for the long-term and making sure everyone is taken care of is one of the most difficult things that I’ve ever encountered. […]

Meeting the needs of industry
Ever since committing to the idea of creating a company where we can actually help people (rather than make a quick buck), I’ve been studying the industry. The industry being what companies need, what people want, and how to meet them both in the middle. Except the needs of the industry aren’t exactly clearly communicated. […]

Safety, Combined with Common Sense and Maturity, First
This is not my favourite post to write ever. With the world up in their self-righteous arms lately, I’ve had a lot of tangential crap to deal with. Some people who have jumped to unfounded assumptions about Insanitek and the way it runs based off our support of homeschoolers (both secular and religious), my more […]

Going Where You’re Needed
There are a lot of things on my mind lately. Everything from working with immigrants to conquering my ADHD to getting the next phase of our homeschooling done. The immigrants we work with are migrant workers through a government agency, everyone else is a freelancer. My ADHD is an ongoing battle, and probably a fight […]
