Do you have a tendency to fall victim to distractions in your everyday? How often do you tend to leave things late in the game, even when you know you’ve got tasks at hand that need seeing to? If the habit of procrastination seems to be your default mode and you can’t figure out how to turn it around, you’re in the right place.
If your life looks anything like mine or my clients’, your summer is wrapping up, you’re getting back into the swing of a full practice, and work feels like a slump.

Join me this week as I help you overcome the gap between procrastination to getting things done. You’ll discover why we fall prey to procrastination, how it might be showing up for you in your practice, and my top strategies for overcoming procrastination.
