Tips and tricks: how to be more productive

 

Since I began working as a food creative and entrepreneur, life has become busier than ever. With more than five cookbooks, various television programmes, consulting, and managing an online magazine, you can imagine how busy my daily schedule is, especially when I include important quality time with my family and all the travel I get up to. That being said, I enjoy a life of balance and I'm grateful to do work every day that is inspiring and aligned with what I'm passionate about.

This doesn't mean that there aren't late nights of admin, business strategy and emails, but there is a balance at least 80% of the time.
