Productivity

Have you spent hundreds of hours and even more dollars on trying to find THE next great productivity system that will give you all the answers?

You know the one that’s going to help you crush your to-do lists, beat your objectives in no time, achieve all your goals, and exceed your wildest dreams?

But you’re here, reading this webpage, when you could be kicking back at a cafe, beach, or sleeping in because you’ve already done what you needed to do for the week, even if it’s Monday morning.

You have tried, though; you have a drawer full of less than 10%-full print planners, that bullet journal thing you tried, and a sea of free, freemium, and paid apps you used three times barely hidden on your smartphone, just sitting there, waiting for you to return to them years later.

You thought, “Next blog post, next book, next video from a productivity guru is going to make a difference, it’s going to click, and I’m going to crush my goals.”

Yet here you are.

Let me tell you a secret

I’m here to tell you something most productivity gurus don’t want you to know:

It’s not your fault.

It isn’t. They’re selling you books and videos and probably flaunting ridiculously overblown lifestyles of getting rich and figuring it all out, and here’s the truth—they haven’t or, if they have, they figured out their own productivity system for them, but you are not them.

This rings especially true for the gurus promoting a one-size-fits-all system that wouldn’t truly work for 99% of the population without a massive amount of customization.

Most systems were not designed or can be ill-fit for working parents, people with multiple responsibilities, and people who are neurodivergent; they’re designed for a person with a utopian lifestyle.

Do you have a utopian lifestyle? I don’t.

I’m a parent and on the ADHD spectrum. I’ve spent thousands on productivity plans, conferences, apps—you name it, I’m speaking from experience that what works best for people is:

  1. Knowing what’s important to them
  2. Coming to an understanding of how they work
  3. Know one big secret I’m not telling but will if you book an appointment—and this one key thing controls everything
  4. Your purpose, your why
  5. Having an accountability partner

How I help people get going and becoming productive

I’ve spent years working with individuals, teams, and organizations who have struggled with task planning, goal-setting, and turning their dreams into reality.

I’ve seen firsthand how daunting it can be to break free from a lifetime of unproductive habits. But I have also been a first-hand witness to transforming and customizing an approach and achieving extraordinary results.

Like an adventurer needs a compass to help them go in the right direction, I have been that compass many times.

So how does this all work?

Create Your Personalized Productivity Systems

One-size-fits-all solutions rarely work, especially when it comes to productivity. You need a system tailored to your unique strengths, weaknesses, and lifestyle. We’ll work together to identify productivity techniques that resonate with you. Usually, upon the first conversation, I can get a sense of things, or we experiment with over one hundred (! no joke) different systems, or we can can take aspects of several and make it your own—which is what I, personally, had to do.

Clear, Achievable Goal-Setting

Setting goals isn’t just about deciding what you want to achieve; it’s about knowing how to get there. I’ll teach you how to break down your dreams into manageable, actionable steps, and I can work with you and be there to ensure you never feel lost in the process and can help you pivot if necessary, though most people it’s experiment, find or create the system, and momentum can take you the rest of the way.

Overcoming What’s Holding You Back

Here is the thing about procrastination and distractions: They’re actually there to serve you; they are not, in and of themselves, bad. If they’re there, they’re there for a reason, and you and I are going to find out that reason. We’re going to develop a plan where you’ll play nicely with the things holding you back, one where while we may never completely eliminate procrastination, it’ll become quite uncommon.

Building Lasting Habits

Productivity is about consistency, chaining things together, but fear not, we’re not talking perfection. You’re unique, I’m unique, and as you will find out habit stacking and other proven techniques to integrate new behaviors into your life are as much of an art as they are a science.

Continuous Support and Accountability

No person is an island, and if they were, they’d be a very lonely, unproductive island. While I personally often cringe at the term “coach,” the reality is, done properly, there is a reason many high-performing professionals, leaders, and athletes have coaches, in or just on the periphery of the spotlight—having that outside perspective makes the good, great. Your success is my success, and I want just as badly as you for you to learn to crush your productivity. To do so, we’ll work out regular check-ins and progress reviews and create any adjustments necessary to ensure you’re on a path to success.

The difference between a rut and a grave is a few feet

A crucial part of this journey is addressing your motivation. No, this isn’t going to be some deep exploration of past trauma or any woo-woo stuff, but we do need to get clear on your why, your motivation, and your purpose. Whether you just want to hire me for a quick overview of productivity so you can impress your boss or because you want to open your own business (I’ve done both), mountains only move when not only you have a big enough lever, but you can step back and see it.

I want you to have the ability to be able to work up most days, have a clear sense of purpose and know exactly what you need to do to move closer to your goals. Imagine the satisfaction of crossing off tasks, reaching milestones, seeing your goals come to life, and being able to you, yourself, with or without me, be able to repeat this for the rest of your life or, better yet, help others achieve their goals.

This isn’t a distant fantasy—it’s within your reach, and I’m here to help you get there.

Let’s embark on this journey together. With my expertise and your determination, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.

There is no time like the present, get on my calendar so you can get going!
