About Me



So who am I to talk about time management?

I have studied the subject for thirty years - to find a way to tweak my calendar to find the time to do the many things I was interested in..  

I never thought I'd put up a website on the subject, but so many friends, coworkers and co-students asked tips on how I found time for everything, I figured I might help others like me to achieve their goals .

With the "like me" I mean people who could not just concentrate full time in doing what they dreamt of. In my case it was lack of money - I had to work full time to pay my life expenses. Also my life was so hectic I had to develop a time plan if I wanted to have anything done.

Through careful time planning on how to use my "extra" time I have managed to 

  • study an MA in Egyptology at the University of Manchester (7 years as a distant student), 
  • Find time for my art and have my paintings  exhibited in Finland, UK and US (horse and Egyptological subjects). 
  • Create several websites (links a the end of this page)
  • Write several novels (1 short story and 8 novels as a self-published author, learning the ropes along the way)
  • Write and illustrate three traditionally published children's books about Egyptology (that would be around 240 illustrations in three years)
  • Keep fit by finding time to go the gym and walking outside
  • Sing in a little choir that performs for charity
  • And find time for my family and friends

I live in Turku, Finland, and write all my books and websites in English.
