Back in 2022, I had the absolute pleasure of attending an evening with Dr. Jane Goodall, broadcast by Museums Victoria. Dr. Goodall is an ethologist known for her detailed research on chimpanzees in Tanzania and has founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation.
For me, the biggest takeaway from this amazing session was this: every action matters. When we live with this in mind, we have the opportunity to lead with hope. In Dr Goodall’s words, “Hope is about action and not wishful thinking…You must roll up your sleeves and start crawling and climbing… Every one of us makes an impact on the planet every day.”
I've been thinking a lot about this recently and how the mantra “every action matters” is highly useful for us to use when reflecting on the three P's: Purpose, Productivity and Preparedness.
So today we’re talking about taking actionable steps to move towards our purpose and establish our goals - and how this can be done by making purposeful choices in all that we do.
We’ll explore:
Making every action meaningful
Getting organised to boost productivity
Examining our lives with curiosity
Whether it's prioritising our health, staying organised or examining ourselves with curiosity, each choice we make contributes to experiencing life at its best and most balanced.
So, join me today and get inspired to find the most meaning - and balance - in your daily life and actions!

She's an amazing. Dr. Goodall presented so much information at this session as well as really actionable opportunities for attendees. But the biggest takeaway for me was that every action matters and in doing so to lead with hope, it was such an inspiring session. Jane said to lead with hope. Hope is about action and not wishful thinking. Hope is the star at the end of a long, dark tunnel. There is no good sitting and waiting. You must roll up your sleeves and start crawling and climbing. Let your indomitable spirit come out. Every one of us makes an impact on the planet every day.

It doesn't mean that you need to change everything in your world. Well, not yet anyway, really spend time determining how you want to impact the world and how you want to intentionally live. In the foundation of preparedness, your health is so critical to your success. I know this firsthand and what it was like to avoid actions and neglect my health.
ng consciously. And so far in:
Every day I remind myself that every action matters, and this includes treating myself with [00:03:00] kindness. But also giving myself a break when I need it. From a productivity perspective, I try very hard not to leave things to tomorrow that I can do today. Every action to keep myself organized does matter. It impacts my tomorrow if I neglect things or leave things to overwhelm me at the end of each day, I make sure that I'm as prepared as I can be for tomorrow to do everything in my power to remove chaos from the mornings. I like my mornings to be calm and serene, which I'm sure most of us do. I never leave the dishes unwashed overnight.

ake the easy route, the lazy [:
This could mean changing the way you look at situations. The job you have may not be on the path to your future. But look at it as a privilege to have the job as it helps pave your way towards the future you would like or the future self you would like to be. You will get there, especially if you focus on the positives in every situation you are able.
Find inspiration in activities that matter to you. If you are not sure what you like, learn, test, and see. Watch the documentary, book the experience, read about varied and random topics.
