Whether you’re building a course, growing a digital business, or just trying to stay on track with your goals, this episode is packed with tangible tips to help you get out of your head, stop overthinking, and actually get things DONE.
Key Topics Covered:
Break Big Tasks Down:
Tackle overwhelm by breaking large projects into bite-sized, actionable chunks. Use project management tools like Monday.com to list the small steps and work through them one at a time for a confidence boost.
Pomodoro Timer Technique:
Focus in short, timed sprints for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. This helps train your brain to focus, especially if you struggle with attention or frequently get distracted.
Block Distractions:
Use apps like Freedom or Opal to block social media, emails, and other time-sapping distractions so you can stay laser-focused on the task at hand.
Stay Organized with Project Management:
Tools like Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and Trello can systemize your workflow, help you brain dump ideas, and prioritize work so you know exactly what to focus on.
Set Clear Work Windows:
Time block your day and give yourself realistic, defined periods to work. Setting boundaries (like strict start and end times or sprinting to deadlines) builds urgency and momentum.
Just Start—for 10 Minutes:
Commit to working on tough tasks for just 10 minutes. Action often creates motivation; once you get started, you’re more likely to find your flow and keep going.
Reward Yourself:
Celebrate milestones, even small ones! Whether it’s a treat, a walk, or a bigger reward after a big project, pairing achievements with positive rewards builds self-trust and motivation.
Done is Better Than Perfect:
Don’t let perfectionism become procrastination. Aim for excellence, but know when 80-90% is good enough to launch—improvements can come later!
Visualize Success:
Imagine your project, launch, or event completed successfully. Visualization transforms overwhelm into clarity and gives you an emotional boost to follow through.
Celebrate Your Wins:
Mark every achievement, no matter the size. Regularly acknowledging your wins (publicly or privately) keeps you energized and builds confidence.
Tina reminds listeners that procrastination is normal and doesn’t mean you’re lazy or broken—you may just need better systems or clearer motivation. She encourages you to try any (or all!) of these strategies today. Don’t let procrastination hold you back from building your dream business and life. The world needs what you have to offer!
