Jacinta Noonan is an Australian certified life coach based in the Netherlands. She has decades of experience under her belt, is an ADHD specialist and runs a coaching practise called Platform B. I’ve often hired Jacinta to help me work through thorny issues – both business and personal – and am constantly amazed how much I can learn about myself and my motivations in just an hour’s session. Am I ADHD? Maybe, a bit. But then, aren’t we all?

Full disclosure here, Jacinta and I have been close friends for over 20 years. She was even with me on my first ever ‘Release the Book Within’ course, after which she completed and published her first book, My Perfect Weight. Believe me when I say that she is a wonderful writer with a lot to say, and has achieved highly despite being a serial procrastinator. 

In this episode of the In Conversation with Jo Parfitt podcast, we unpack the subject of procrastination and work out why so many of us lack motivation, focus, and staying power. We discussed the messy middle part of a process when the sparkle of starting a new project has dulled and the finish line seems too far away. We talked about what makes so many of my mentoring clients have a wobble when their book is 95% done and want to throw it all in. 

She made us all laugh with anecdotes of how she's even changed her clothing multiple times as a distraction habit. But, as Jacinta explains, everyone is somewhere on the procrastination spectrum. It's just ADHD sufferers, like her, tend to end up on the chronic rather than the mild end.
