Melissa emphasizes her daily commitment to working out, which she views as pivotal for her well-being and sanity amidst her busy schedule. The Efficiency Bitch podcast and Melissa's book share a core message around efficiency, particularly focusing on acronyms that frame various aspects of life: Bank (money management), Inbox (time management), Connection (interpersonal relationships), and Harmony (health and wellness).

The COP27 climate talks have been held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. It's a popular tourist destination, but the negotiators discussing ways to limit global warming and to address the harm done by climate change have not been able to relax. The talks have been pretty hard going.Recurring Energy Gang guests Melissa Lott of Columbia University, and Amy Myers-Jaffe, who has just got a new job at New York University, join host Ed Crooks to discuss the progress that has been made, and where there is still more left to do. Both Melissa and Amy have had colleagues attending the summit, and we hear what they have been working on. The gang discusses the prospect of meeting the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5˚C, the steps taken since COP26 in Glasgow a year ago, and the issue of how to compensate poorer countries for the loss and damage caused by climate change. We discuss how this is where the rubber really hits the road in climate talks: when negotiators tackle the critical questions of who pays. Many countries say they back the idea of a new facility to assist the countries that have been hit by climate-related disasters. But many also say they believe they should not have to pay themselves. The gang then transitions over to claims of another comeback for nuclear power. COP27 has had a pro-nuclear tilt, as energy security becomes a larger issue. But where does nuclear fit in the energy transition? As always, check out our Twitter to let us know your thoughts and any future topics you want us to discuss. We're @TheEnergyGang.

This week I'm chatting with Melissa Crockett-Joyoue from New Zealand. Melissa lives with her wife Doria and their two children, Tumana, who is 7 and Hine who is 4. Their journey to unschooling began about a year ago because their son, who is diagnosed dyslexic and gifted found school extremely difficult and stressful. Both Melissa and Doria have also had life-threatening health issues which have impacted the children and led to severe separation anxiety. We talk about Melissa's deschooling experiences, how unschooling is helping her family to heal from their recent trauma and upheaval, and how learning about our children helps us to discover ourselves. You can find Melissa and her children on Instagram:@mama.on.the.legogram@tumanalegomaster@hinecreates

How can you leverage time blocking and better organize your calendar to “aggressively” defend your personal life? Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan share their top tips and resources you can rely on and make sure that you get the most out of your time for both your personal and professional life. [1:02] Melissa believes that a great way to “aggressively” defend your personal life is to follow five tips for creating a work-life balance calendar and to let technology assist you in that. [1:53] For Melissa, the first step is to create your ideal, so you need to think about your availability for work, then set it in your calendar app (in Melissa's case, that's AcuityScheduling). [3:48] When it comes to setting your availability for meetings and running meetings, Melissa suggests having padding on both ends so that your work days start and end at the times you would want them to. [4:40] Creating your schedule is something you need to figure out and take different aspects into consideration. Melissa, for instance, doesn't like Mondays, so she takes that into account when planning her work week. [5:26] Melissa gives a breakdown of what a typical week looks like for her. [6:48] Hannah asks Melissa how she deals with something unexpected popping up. [9:27] Hannah asks Melissa whether she likes to combine all of her different calendars in one space. Melissa has 3 Google Calendars and a personal calendar, all of which are integrated together and map over to Acuity. [11:19] Both Melissa and Hannah praise the power of writing things down to avoid forgetting them. [12:25] Hannah asks Melissa about ways she relies on to create a work-life balance within her scheduling. [13:47] For Melissa, it's crucial that you resist the temptation of manually overriding your calendar when, for example, a client asks to have a call during a time slot that you've marked as booked because you wanted to have some downtime. [14:52] Hannah shares one of her current struggles: scheduling time for self-care or for something she enjoys doing. [16:18] Melissa and Hannah discuss the benefits of prioritising self-care and the impact of not doing that. [20:02] Melissa touches upon the importance of having limits in the scheduling you create with Acuity, or a similar platform, as well as why using padding in your scheduler is a smart move. [22:43] For Melissa, something you can do as an introvert is to stack your sales meetings so that you minimize the time you need to think about social interactions. [23:25] Hannah talks about the fact that she prefers to start her days focusing on the biggest task of the day first. [25:52] Melissa goes over her approach of creating different availability by appointment time.     Mentioned in this episode: Acuity Scheduling Calendly Google Calendar Canva success@ilovebookkeeping.com

What role does delegating play into your business growth? Why should you consider delegating, how do you choose what to delegate, and who to assign a specific task? Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan discuss the art of delegating for your bookkeeping business. [0:28] The topic of today's episode, delegating in your business, is something Hannah believes many business owners could benefit from learning more about. [1:19] Hannah asks Melissa at what stage of her journey she said to herself ‘Alright, it's time to delegate'. Melissa started delegating right from the very beginning. She explains why people don't delegate and the message you're sending others if you aren't delegating. [6:01] ‘What are some good reasons people should delegate?' Hannah asks Melissa. Melissa makes it clear: ‘If you get to the point where you are overwhelmed and can't do everything yourself, you've gone too far. You should have delegated sooner.' And this doesn't only apply to your professional life, but to your personal life too – as a working mom, you can't do it all by yourself. [10:29] For Hannah, learning how to delegate isn't just something that can help you grow your business, but it's something that improves your overall quality of [12:49] What should people do to make their life easier? According to Melissa, an audit of your personal life, since it's so intertwined with your business life. [13:58] Do we work better when we're under supervision? Melissa shares a statistic that illustrates the fact that people working from home are 47% more productive. They work and perform better when they're given trust. Both Melissa and Hannah agree, and share their experiences. [20:24] Which areas should you focus on delegating? It comes down to a few “categories”: tiny, tedious, time-consuming, terrible, and time-sensitive. [24:31] What are the traits of a great leader, according to Hannah? It definitely is about understanding the importance of delegating – and actually delegating – but also about being able to take constructive criticism. [27:03] How do you decide who to delegate a task to? It starts with doing a task audit, as career and business strategist Jenny Blake recommends. Melissa starts by looking at the order in which to delegate – she begins with prioritizing time-sensitive tasks, but also looks at tasks that, if delegated, would free up the most time. Then, she asks herself, ‘Is the right person to deal with this task already on my team?' [29:37] For Melissa, asking herself ‘How do I know whether a team member is the right person to assign a task to?' has been the hardest question. When asking herself this question years ago, she realized that her team wasn't made of the right people. [32:33] Has outsourcing been helpful for Melissa's business? Yes it has, particularly in regards to outsourcing social media, since it didn't come naturally to any of Melissa's team members. [33:26] What are some important questions to ask yourself if you're considering outsourcing? For Melissa, the list includes questions such as: ‘Is this a task for one person or a team?' ‘Am I hiring for one task or a full role?' ‘Are my processes for this task documented?' ‘Do I have the time to train the new employee on the items I'd like to delegate?' ‘Do I even have an idea of what it is I'd like them to do, and is it documented?' [35:47] Hannah asks Melissa how she has gone about keeping her task delegation process going effectively. According to Melissa, achieving buy-in is key. And clarifying what success means will help with that. [42:24] Melissa touches upon a struggle she has when it comes to her role as leader.     Mentioned in this episode: Jenny Blake's 3rd book Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business BKX Conference 2022 success@ilovebookkeeping.com

For parents of young children across Colorado, navigating the early childhood system is nothing short of exhausting. The fragmented programs that are often controlled by money and politics have repeatedly belittled the voices of concerned parents and providers for decades – perpetuating a system that fails kids in their most critical years of life. As the transition to the new state Department of Early Childhood continues, it is crucial that those involved in the implementation and planning process elevate community voice- especially the voice of parents and caregivers. In doing so, we can ensure the new state department lifts early childhood to the importance it deserves, fully allowing kids the chance to thrive. Welcome back to our miniseries highlighting the transition to the new Department of Early Childhood.  In episode 2, we are joined by Melissa Mares, Early Childhood Policy Fellow at the Colorado Children's Campaign, and Janelle Jenkins, Parent Ambassador at Clayton Early Learning Center. Both Melissa and Janelle share their concerns, hopes, and personal experiences with the early care and education system in Colorado- providing first-hand insight toward their involvement in the transition process. As passionate advocates, Melissa and Janelle emphasize the need to transition to an early childhood system that prioritizes dignity, respect, and cares for parents and providers. By putting them first, we can ensure they are fully prepared to care for our kids in the best way possible.As the transition to the new Department of Early Childhood continues, the Early Childhood Leadership Commission (ECLC) continues to host engagement opportunities that uplift community voices.

Serving Our Nation offers hope in the darkness through two guests each week who demonstrate servant leadership. In its sixth episode, Rev. Dr. Paul McCullough hosted two amazing guests who live out servant leadership through their work in media. Ms. Melissa Fitzgerald, best known for her work as an actress on The West Wing, discussed the idea of being kind, generous, and respectful to everyone you work with, regardless of your position or status. Mr. Steve Burton, musician and songwriter, talked about how he serves others by playing music that helps people grow closer to God and by teaching others to develop their own musical talent. Both Melissa and Steve emphasized the importance of following your dreams and using the gifts God gave you to the maximum extent possible, because even when you don't think you're good enough, God makes a way. This episode is sure to touch your heart!

The path to leadership is certainly not always linear. Career paths can sometimes Zig when you want to Zag. Sometimes, it may mean taking lateral positions or even taking a step back, so long as the purpose is to take 2 steps forward. When it’s happening, it can be hard to see that you’re on a journey, and that the journey is unique to you. In this Jam Session, I sit with leaders Melissa Manner and Heather Stitely. Both Melissa and Heather are Area Business Managers with a fortune 500 biopharmaceutical company, and they both have this in common; their leadership journey was not linear. Key Takeaways:Taking a lateral role or moving from a people leader role back into an individual contributor role is not moving backwards. It's just moving you toward a different direction, that in many cases, moves you forward.  Every decision we make, every role we move into, is a learning experience that will help us to move forward.  When deciding your next career move, be open-minded to the potential you can gain from that experience. When considering different roles, make decisions that are right for you and will put you in a better position (skills and competencies) for the future.  Find the right blend of formal leadership training while leveraging the resources around you, i.e., mentors, other manager's experience, reflecting and learning from your own experience. It's ok to show humility by admitting when you don't have all the answers.

In this episode, we are joined by Melissa, the Latina Host of Moments with Melissa Podcast.

Both Melissa and Stephany will go into detail about how such events affected their mental health and the repercussions that ensued for not seeking help earlier and for not being a space where talking about the struggles of mental health was normalized.

Catching Up: (0:25) Laura went to Disneyland for Dapper Day. We also talk about Galliday. She's been dying for both Mean Girls and Sunnydale Yarn Clubs. She's really enjoying Agents of SHIELD. And she did some family visiting. Jen has been working a million hours a week, cutting into her knitting time. She and Ron played two gigs, one at a wine bar and one at the Long Beach Art Walk. She visited her family and got to see her new baby niece and her other niece and her nephew. She's continuing work on her Firefly sampler from Watty’s Wall Stuff and spinning on her Threewatersfarm. Melissa went on a cruise with her knitting group and got a lot of knitting done, for the first time in a while (because she likewise work a million hours a week). She has a cold (not Legionnaire's Disease). She saw Kingsman and we talk about the violence in the film. And she's really excited for Furious 7. We also talk about inappropriate work emails. In the Knitting Bag: (11:05) As a note: Melissa is wearing her Customfit Featherweight Cardigan out of Dizzy Blonde DK in the Martha colorway. Laura passed the 2nd corner and on the 3rd side of her Yggdrasil Afghan by Lisa Jacobs out of Berocco Vintage Chunky Mocha. One more row until the second sleeve of Quinty by Bernadette Ambergen is done. She's making the XL size in Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock, color Marie. She started on Swirl Hat (Crochet) from Patons for her mom for Mothers' Day out of Knit Picks Gloss Fingering in black.  She's all ready to start on Ink by Hanna Maciejewska in Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock in Applegate.  She's also doing a magic ball preemie hat out of odds and ends of Knit Picks Brava and Berroco Vintage.  And she's planning to do a Yarn Baby Shawl KAL with her friend Cheryle of the Carson Shawl by Romi Hill in 3-color yarn baby from Forbidden Woolery out of Pride Fingering in Smoke Signal, Illium and Mo Duinne Jen is almost done with the second sleeve of her Customfit Tunic out of Cascade Heritage.  She's also working on her Bohus Cuff from her class from Stitches West.  She's swatching for the Four Season Summer Symphony Wedding Ring Shawl by Russian Lily out of Gossamer Weight Silk/Cashmere from Colourmart in a cream color. Melissa is doing a test knit for Customfit that is way overdue out Wollmeise DK in Erbse. She is also working on her Coracle in Sweet Georgia Trinity Worsted in Oceanside. And another Customfit sweater that she calls her Korl!!! Cardigan out of Cascade 220 in Coral (and yes the name is a reference to The Walking Dead. She is also preparing for a knitalong with a coworker that she taught how to knit. They are going to make an open-front cardigan from the book Knit It!: Learn the Basics and Knit 22 Beautiful Projects, which we recommend for the beginning knitters in your life. Finished Objects: (22:30) Laura finished one preemie stripy hat that she cast on for social knitting for Stitches West. She's made it out of leftover Berroco Vintage and Knitpicks Brava. Jen finished her second 15-color Rainbow Sock in The Fab Funky Fibres self-striping sock yarn of the same name and the heel was out of black Cascade Heritage.  She did the thumb joint top hat afterthought heel by Lara Neel and loves it! (You can find instructions in the Fork in the Road Socks pattern--which is free). We mention Lara's book Sock Architecture and her blog Math4knitters. Melissa blocked and seamed a sweater that had been done since December. She had a pile of stuff to block and seam, but she had a blocking block. All three of us have them. Devil's Tower: (25:37) Which segues to a boring Devil's Tower where we all have stuff to block. Frog Pond: (25:54) Melissa wants to do a shawl collar on her Korl!!! cardigan. She decided to wing it. She had to frog it one time. Then, history repeated itself, so Jen frogged it this time because Melissa just couldn't bring herself to do it...again.  What are friends for? This sweater also had an issue with the sleeves, because Melissa generated the pattern with straight sleeves instead of tapered sleeves. This sweater has been a lot of knitting. This sweater is cursed. We mention the films Snowpiercer and Dracula: The Untold Story. On Deck: (31:31) Laura added Bunnies "R" Us by Marken of the Hat and I to her list of usual suspects. Jen's planning on starting on the Hitofude, redesigning the Joshua Tree Cardigan, something for her friend's baby and a shawl for her to wear at her sister's wedding. Melissa will start the aforementioned cardigan with her coworker. She also wants to make the adult version of the Playful Stripes Cardigan by Alana Dakos, Charlie's Cardigan by Amy Herzog, and she might make a third Leah’s Lovely Cardigan. Jen and Melissa both love how the sweater fits although the find knitting it a bit of slog. Knit Culture: (36:50) Stitches West wrap-up! Laura spent most of the time in her booth, but she enjoyed it. Her haul included a lace-weight linen gradient yarn baby from Apple Tree Knits, another 3-color sparkly yarn baby from Forbidden Woolery, a Little Brother gradient set from Yarn on the House.  Sparkly "Exploding T.A.R.D.I.S." yarn from Steven Be and the book "Crochet so Lovely" by Kristin Omdahl. Jen and Laura got to meet Stephen West at the pajama party and he was very personable and funny (he judged the pajama contest) and he complimented Jen's Leah's Lovely Cardigan. Melissa got a ton of compliments on her Rainbow Sweater. Jen and Melissa had dinner with the Knitmore Girls and Maria from Subway Knits. Jen took a design your own Pi Shawl class and learned a new cast-on she loved. Jen got a mug and some stitch markers from Jennie the Potter, some lovely red fingering weight yarn from Jill Draper Makes Stuff for a sweater, some pink fingering yarn from Miss Babs for a sweater, and lots of vintage buttons, including Bakelite sets. Both Melissa and Jen got some rainbow yarn from White Birch Fiber Arts. Melissa enabled Jen to get some Indigodragonfly for a sweater (and Melissa got some too) from the Yarnover Truck. We love her colorway names. Melissa also got a Jennie the Potter mug and some citrus yellow Jill Draper Makes Stuff Yarn. Melissa got some new yarn babies from Newton's Yarn Country, one in hot pink and one in purple and they were a great deal. She also got several sweater quantities of yarn from Miss Babs in Perfectly Wreckless and Deep Sea Jellyfish and Funny Papers. Melissa and Jen took a six hour class on picking up stitches with Lily Chin and are now experts on picking up stitches. It was amazing. Jen took a class on Bohus Knitting with Susanna Hansson and it was amazing. She even got to see some of the original vintage garments, and even pick them up and handle them. They worked on a cuff in class as well. She wants to get a kit to make a sweater from Angora Garnet. And she also took a great stranded knitting class with Beth Brown-Reinsel, which was amazing, but her brain was seriously fried because it was Sunday. Melissa took color classes with Laura Bryant of Prism Yarns. Jen is not going to take so many classes next year; she is going to do more social stuff. Laura got to meet Marnie McClean in person. And Melissa and Jen got to reunite with a old knitting friend who surprised everyone by coming from England to attend Stitches (who also won the student fashion show). And everyone managed to have great food, including Psycho Donuts. We mention Exploration Station, Rockefeller, Enchanted Mesa, Green Planet Yarn, and Foxy Knits.
