“Time is money.” –Benjamin Franklin
“No! Time is POWER!” –Janice Rostron
Are you constantly overcommitting, perplexed by piles of papers, and irritated by emails? Is your to-do list endless, overwhelming, and never getting done? Does time seem to get away from you every … single … day?
Time is your most powerful asset, but it is a finite resource. Janice Rostron created Time Is Power to help you take back the power you have over your time so you can spend it on what matters most. She combats the idea that productivity is about getting as much done as possible in the shortest amount of time. Instead, she defines productivity as getting the right things done, at the right time, with the right amount of energy.
Time Is Power is designed to make obligation and information overload more manageable. It is a step-by-step journey to a more productive life by showing you how to prioritize what’s important, simplify your systems, and delegate what you can.
For the past decade, Janice has helped her clients live less cluttered, more productive lives. She is a lifelong learner and has earned certificates in Chronic Disorganization, Workplace Productivity, and Team Productivity. Embracing her Master of Education (MEd) and years of teaching experience, she incorporates education into every aspect of her work as a professional organizer and productivity consultant.
You can’t do it all, but you can accomplish a lot when you focus on what matters most.

While I have experience working across multiple genres, Fantasy and LitRPG have my heart (and voice!)
Diving into the script, developing the voices and personalities for each character, setting the tone for the world and scene and identifying your vision for your story are all an important part of my process before I even get into my booth to start recording.
From just narration to full production, my workflow is established, smooth and reliable.
I was born and raised in South Africa. Being brought up in an interracial family during Apartheid will teach you a lot about the world, really fast.
My upbringing, my family, my lived experiences as a child and my neurodiversity shaped a titanium strength sense of justice in me. And that led me to being involved in many different professional and personal levels of speaking out for those who can’t.
I was a dog trainer for 15 years, helping people learn to speak dog so they could have a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship (because who doesn’t want that!?).
I’m owned by border collies and they get me out in the beautiful mountains of BC, keeping me physically (and mentally!) fit, so I can continue fighting the good fight!
