Ep 371: How To Stop Putting Off Non-Urgent Tasks


Listen Later

Often in business, we have important yet non-urgent tasks - they feel new and unfamiliar to us and they don't have a set deadline. These tasks are easy to put off for later while we focus on other things that are more urgent.

I share why perfectionists normally struggle with this - as well as how to get non-urgent tasks done in your business - in this episode.

If you want to honour the deadlines you set for yourself (even when no one else is watching), this episode was made for you. Tune in today.

Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode371.
