Breaking Up With Procrastination
When it comes to productivity and time management, procrastination can be the biggest culprit of ineffectiveness and inefficiency, but the roots lie deeper than just a wondering mind and its associated distractions. Procrastination is the hideaway place for deeper issues rooted in fear and insecurity.
What Does It Mean To Go All In?
Going all in doesn’t mean we must do or die, it means we must create a strategy that allows us to maximize our potential, identify the support we need, identify the skills we must develop, while ensuring our well-being is not an afterthought and therefore keeping us sane.

Plant a Tree – Have a Child – Write a Book
The success in reaching such goal lays in visualizing it daily, as if it’s already a reality and then putting all of our focus and commitment to make it come true.
Yet, we can never approach it with a plan B at hand, that right there means we have accepted defeat before even launching.

I’ve personally experienced seasons at work in which between the workload and hectic business travel, I don’t pay attention to hydrating well or getting enough sleep.

Hobbies + Daydreaming = Fueled Creativity
As leaders we are always creating something. We create opportunities, we create a vision, we create solutions and creativity is a requirement for high performance and dedicating time to enjoy our hobbies, allows for that creativity to flow freely.
Learning How to Get Out of Our Own Way
Doing the hard things, the ones that make us uncomfortable, will become second nature once we learn to act – leaders are first movers. Instead of overthinking and anticipating everything that could go wrong, focus on all that can go great while keeping a realistic but positive approach. Remember that self-believe comes first. How can we expect others to believe in us, if we second-guess our every move?
