How to Eliminate Procrastination

2 Comments / TIME MANAGEMENT / By

Here’s an interesting fact for you: did you know there are 3 types of procrastinators?

That’s right. 3 genres of procrastination that describe pretty much anyone who’s ever said “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Watch this week’s Chatty Tuesday to discover what type of procrastinator you are, and find out my 3 tips that will take you from “I’ll do it tomorrow” to “I’ll do it now.”

Don’t put this video off until later – let’s do this now! Check it out.

When you’re done watching the video, leave a comment letting me know what your thoughts on procrastination are.

Did you identify with one of the 3 procrastination types? Or are you happily living procrastination-free? What works for you to stop procrastination in its tracks?

I want to know! Let’s pull together a list of anti-procrastination tactics.

Procrastination is something that most people have struggled with at one point or another.

It’s totally normal + it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

99% of people have woken up at least once with a long to do list, only to go to sleep that night having crossed zero things off it.

Youch! Not good.

Remember: procrastination isn’t something you’re born with. Like any skill, it’s something you develop and hone over time.

So with these tips and a little practice, you’ll be a productivity master. Practice makes perfect.

Boom!

As always, I hope you have a beautiful day + I’ll see you again next week.

Big hugs,

xoxo

Choosing goals catered to you, your life and your business.

3 Comments / PERSONAL, TIME MANAGEMENT / By

If you’re anything like me you’re REALLY good at making lists, in fact it’s one  of your favourite hobbies. But let’s be honest here, you’re a go-getter. You want everything under the sun and more. Nothing is ever enough, and whenever you make goals for the New Year you could literally go on … and on … and on …. and on … leaving you with a huge lack in focus – not good.

Learning to choose the right goals catered to you, your life and your business is so important if you want to turn your passion into your life’s work. This year I decided to focus on five major goals. I had a really hard time choosing only five but I found a method that works, and today I’m going to share it with you.

Learn one of my favourite ways to pick goals that are right for you and your business and life in this video:

Happy New Years, my love, and don’t forget to leave a comment!

 

Big hugs

Finding the perfect day to start.

10 Comments / ALL, TIME MANAGEMENT / By

So … there’s a little voice inside of you feeding you an idea. (Yes, we’ve spoken about this little voice before.)

It’s presence is no mistake, no coincidence. It is there for a reason.  It is there to point you in the right direction, to show you your purpose.

Admittedly, this “idea” is a pretty big deal to you, whatever it may be. You love the idea of it becoming a reality, but it seems so far off from where you are today. It seems impossible, unprobable. And the steps you would have to take to make it all come true? Well, there’s a lot of steps … and now isn’t really a good time.

There’s not enough money, not enough time, your life isn’t in order yet, you’re not where you want to be. You just can’t get started. Not today, anyway. 

Right? Wrong.

Today is the perfect day to start. Why? Because you will never find “the right time”. You’ve just got to do it. Get the ball rolling. Take one small step every day in the direction of making your dream a reality. 

Because if you can dream it, you can do it. (That’s a tweetable!)

Make it happen, my friend, make it happen.

I’d love to hear your opinions on the ideas your little voice is feeding you, and when your perfect time to start will be!
