Quick Fixer

30 minutes of remote problem-solving to fix those everyday points of friction that are slowly taking up all your time and energy

You know those tasks or parts of the day that you have to do, but you can feel slowly draining your soul every time you do them?

They take too much time, they're annoying or they just take up too much brain space for something. Maybe they ignite a deep rage somewhere within you.

Those are what we'll fix together during this free, 30-minute chat.

We'll fix those sources of everyday friction together, in just 30 minutes.

Things like:

  • The laundry. Surely there must be extra people secretly living with you to explain the mountains?

  • School admin. PE days, inset days, non-uniform days, sports day, raffles, bring a book, show and tell. Can’t there just be boring old ‘school days” anymore?!

  • Birthdays. So many cards and gifts to organise - it's a permanent feature on your to-do list now. And let’s not get started on your brother-in-law who’s a nightmare to buy for.

  • The toys. Your child won’t let any go, your family are overly generous with plastic tat gifts, and your front room looks more like a toy shop than a place to relax.

  • The morning routine. No matter what you’ve tried, the mornings always end up in chaos and everyone is late yet again.

If it's annoying you or taking up too much mental space, it belongs on the list.

Hi, I'm Lesley!

In my day job, I’m an Efficiency Expert (yes, really). For 15 years, my job has literally been to find quicker and easier ways to do things.

When sleep deprivation hit hard as a first time mum, I put that experience to good use in my personal life - purely as a survival tactic.

I ruthlessly prioritised, I let things go, I found quicker ways of doing things. I made sure I could catch up on sleep.

The more points of friction I eliminated, the less stressed out I felt, and the more energy I had.

I know how hard it can be to see a different ways of doing things when you're in the thick of it, which is why I created Quick Fixer.

Quick Fixer is for you if:

  • You've got too much to do and not enough time

  • You're frequently frustrated or annoyed by day-to-day things

  • You often find yourself thinking "why is this so hard?"

  • You dream of being a millionaire so you can hire people to do all the monotonous jobs you hate

  • There's something specific you want to work better

FAQs

Why are you doing this for free? Is it a sneaky sales drive?

Sneaky? No. Sales drive? Partly.

Of course if you decide you’d like to sign up for one of my paid offers I would be delighted, and a commitment-free chat gives you the chance to see what I’m like and if you think I’m the right person to help you. But that’s not the only reason I’m offering these calls.

Firstly, I genuinely like being useful. That’s the whole reason I set up this business - so I can do something meaningful.

Secondly, talking to you helps me too. It helps me understand more deeply what people are struggling with so I can create new things to help in the future. 

Thirdly, I’m no good at doing nothing. These calls fit perfectly into my many dog/buggy walks where I need a way to use my brain at the same time.

I call that a win-win.

There are 100s of things I want you to help me fix!

You're not the first person to say that! Mental Load Mentoring is ideal if you want to work on loads of stuff. Quick Fixer is a great way to see what my mentoring package is like before committing to Mental Load mentoring. And it's free, so a good way to try before you buy.

How will you use my phone number?

I will only use it to message you for the purposes of this session. We could use an app (like Voxer) that would make the call anonymous but I know that can feel like yet another thing to get your head round so I've kept it simple with normal WhatsApp voice notes. If you'd like to use a different way of speaking that's fine, just let me know.

I will also be sharing my number with you and trust/hope you're not a weirdo who's going to start stalking me or something...

I'm not sure if my thing is something you can help with

It probably is, but feel free to message me and I can let you know. Email hello@alifelesscomplicated.com or use this form.

Why 30 minutes?

Because:

1) You have no time but 30 minutes should feel in the realms of possibility

2) If we have longer, we will fill it with chit chat - and while that's lovely, that's not what you need from me right now

3) It'll keep us focussed on the task in hand

4) We can make big things happen in just 30 minutes

5) It allows time between voice notes to listen and respond to each other's messages
