About Me

I’m Sam, based in London. I have a PhD in Evolutionary Biology and have worked in academia, as a senior editor, and in corporate fields for over two decades.

I am fascinated by why we do the things we do and why we don’t do the things we think we should!

I’ve faced challenges like being easily overwhelmed, struggling to stay tidy, and finding it hard to finish projects—patterns many of us can relate to. I resorted to reading self-help books and buying multiple planners to ‘fix’ me. Many of these books had great advice, but sometimes, I ended up in a cycle of planning and not doing. I’ve also felt the pressure of today’s fast-paced world, which can lead to emotional dysregulation and burnout.

Using my background in scientific research and my own experiences, I’m on a mission to discover and present tools and strategies that will help us all live more productive, balanced lives— so we can spend more time doing what truly matters.

Please consider subscribing if this resonates with you; I’d love for you to join me on this journey!
