I've been expanding my knowledge of this concept lately, and have found so many out-of-the-box ideas to overcome this habit. (Yes, it IS a habit.) Why do some people struggle more than others to start AND complete a task? Enter Neil Fiore, Ph.D, the author of The Now Habit, with the idea of [...]
I recently had the privilege of participating in not one but TWO fabulous podcasts intended to help busy professionals achieve more while working less. Let's go over some key points from each.

Caryn Fitzgerald of Coffee and Coaching with Caryn and I explored this concept and more on her show. Caryn's nickname is "the Manifesting Queen" because of her ability to [...]
If I told you that you could have a stress-free and productive end of the year - what would that mean to you? What does a stress-free and productive end of the year entail? What activities would you do? What projects would you complete? How would you feel? [Tweet "Envision this reality - a stress-free and productive November and December."] Over the next few [...]
