It's kind of dumb to write an article about how to stop procrastinating. I know that by having you read this, I'm helping you avoid the thing you need to do. But it'll be worth it. Cuz by the end of this article, you're going to stop procrastinating and get back to work.

I used to think that discipline was about waking up at 5am and taking cold showers. Then I realized that I like hitting snooze and cuddling with my wife. So I created a concept I call Lazy Self-Discipline.

The more tumultuous things get around you, the more important it is to have a solid structure and foundation for moving your business forward.

I created a video that goes over how I structure my days for maximum effectiveness and productivity. It allows me to get new clients, serve existing ones, and manage my team. All while spending only about 3 hours per weekday on calls.

As coaches we spend a lot of time asking questions like...What marketing strategies should I use to get clients? Or...How do I grow my coaching business? But there's another important question that you should be asking: When do I do my best work?

Productivity is a disease. Seriously. I really think that our obsession with getting things done has become a global sickness. Notice what I said there. The disease is not procrastination. It’s actually our desire to be optimally productive and efficient all the time.

I’ve always been a planner. When I was a kid, I would make these little checklists with arbitrary things on them like “Play outside”, “Ask mom for cookies” and even "Go to the bathroom”. As I got older, the things got bigger. I started having real responsibilities. I started setting goals. Now my life is more complicated. I just don’t have as much time to focus on the little things. Sometimes it feels like I am drowning in little things. We all want to be more productive, but most of us are too overwhelmed and distracted to ever build enough momentum.

"Did you publish that blog post yet?" "No, but I did clean my desk, sort my email inbox, and re-organize my entire bookshelf by last name." Funny how when we have something important to do, we suddenly find a million other problems to solve.
