I get pumped just thinking about you taking control of your time and habits. That said, to create a feeling of order and success — to shift your habits and make progress every day towards your goals — you need to stop doing certain things, PRONTO.

Eight years back, I was stuck. Technically my own boss in charge of my time. But in reality, I was working harder and longer than ever.

Feel like your to-do list is a never-ending beast? No matter how many tasks you tackle, there are always more. It’s like having a drill sergeant in your head, barking orders: “Go, go, go!

I promise you, they procrastinate on tasks you don’t see. No one is exempt from putting things off. This is why you should NOT self-proclaim as a procrastinator. Just like you don’t walk around…
I get it. You have 101 things on your list and everything is important. I can’t tell you if your system or strategy work is more important. I can’t tell you which of your client issues is more important. But I can tell you this. Prioritizing isn’t hard. Making a decision is. There will be plenty…
You have 20 minutes in between meetings, so what do you do? Check email. Your 1:30 appointment cancels at the last minute, so what’s your go-to? Fall into email.
