Welcome to Turning Procrastination Into Productivity!

Would you like to learn how to beat procrastination once and for all? How to maximize your productivity by taking note of the latest research findings on procrastination and productivity?

This class will teach you everything you need to know about procrastination!

Topics covered in the class include:

  • Identifying the most common causes behind procrastination
  • Regaining control
  • Getting clear on your goals
  • Identifying vices and creating a path of resistance
  • Eliminating distractions
  • Creating an environment primed for productivity
  • And so much more!

With the right mindset and an in-depth understanding of what causes YOU to procrastinate, you will be armed with effective strategies and tools to combat procrastination and maximize your productivity!

Remember that ultimately, every person is in control of their own actions and only those that are willing to put in the required work as outlined in this class, will benefit the most. I may not be able to guarantee individual success in completely eliminating procrastination but I can guarantee you this class provides a comprehensive toolkit that will arm you with the confidence needed to start reducing the time spent procrastinating.

This class does assume a prior knowledge of behavior or habit formation, a topic covered in my first class “Creating Habits that Stick”, so I encourage you to take that class, if you haven’t already, for a deeper understanding of behavior and in order to maximize your chances of success.

See you in class,
