Half-Finished to Done Podcast with Cristina Roman, Productivity Coach for Ambitious Business Owners

This summer, I’m taking some time away from the podcast. 

I want to ensure that you've got all of your productivity needs met while we’re on hiatus. In this episode, I'm going to give you a few resources to check out during the summer.

Resource #1: Half-Finished to Done Podcast

There are 49 episodes of the Half-Finished to Done Podcast, all focused on sustainable productivity for business owners. 

These episodes will equip you to solve the mental, emotional, and logistical obstacles that are keeping you from sustainably, joyfully, and calmly finishing projects in your business.

Resource #2: Pique Podcast

The Pique Podcast was created before the Half-Finished to Done Podcast, and is still available for you to access. It has three seasons of content that covers more general life philosophies such as death and dying, diversity, equity and inclusion, financial questions to explore, and so much more. 

To access these episodes, just scroll all the way back to the beginning  of the Half-Finished to Done Podcast episode list.

Resource #3: Deep Work Guide

If you want to master the skill of focusing on demand so that you can consistently get your best work done, I recommend getting the guide for How to Get Into a Deep Work State in 15 Minutes ($27).

This step-by-step process is the antidote if you struggle to focus,  go down rabbit holes often, suffer from perfectionism, or get distracted easily..

Resource #4: 1:1 Coaching

If you're interested in using the summer to master sustainable productivity with me, just click here to book a 45-minute consult with me. We'll figure out if it's a fit for us to work together 1:1 for 12+ weeks so that you can do more high-caliber work; experience more true rest; and have a full, rich life outside of your business.

I look forward to coming back refreshed and ready to hit the ground running to bring you more valuable tools, strategies, and resources to take your projects from half-Finished to done. Happy summer!

Trying to “just do it” when you’re feeling intense emotions about a task or project rarely works. 

Fighting against yourself usually leads to more stress, anxiety, and angst.

In this episode, I’m joined by fellow coach Sarah Yost—who I call the “emotions queen”— to talk about why and how to regulate when we’re feeling overwhelmed with emotions…and why she never recommends pushing through.

She also shares a profound insight about why joining a coaching program like mine can create more negative emotions, like shame, in the beginning. 

Listen in as we discuss:

• How losing your keys, misplacing a phone charger, and not showing up on time are external reflections of internal patterns

Sarah Yost is an emotions coach for ADHD and neurodivergent people. She’ll help you feel way less anxious and way more at home with yourself through understanding, processing and working with your emotions. Find her here.

What’s it like to work with a productivity coach? The best way for you to understand the process and benefits of one-on-one coaching is to share real stories from real clients. 

In this episode, I’m highlighting three clients who are all successful and are killing it in their respective jobs and industries. 

They didn’t come to productivity coaching because they felt like failures. Instead, they chose to work with me because they know that despite their success, they have habits holding them back from sustainably growing their business, enjoying their work, and having a full, rich life outside of work.

In each example, you’ll learn:

• Where the client was when they first came to me

I hope these client experiences spark some creative ideas and inspire you to keep working through mental, emotional, and logistical obstacles standing between you and calm, sustainable productivity.

If you’re like many business owners, you’ve never considered selling your business one day.

And you might automatically assume that your business could never be sold.

This means that you’re likely selling yourself short, and you’re never giving yourself the opportunity to prepare your business for a potential exit.

This episode will change the way you see your long-term business growth, and the options available to you.

The decision to be open to selling one day will shift how you operate, market, and delegate, which leads to a more sustainable, profitable business—even if you choose never to sell. 

In this episode I’m joined by Stacey Harris, founder and CEO of the podcast production agency, Uncommonly More and the host of The More Profitable Podcast. She works with service-based businesses ready to generate, educate, and convert leads with their podcast.

Listen in as we discuss:

• Why we recommend that you be open to selling your business

Do you have mixed feelings about setting goals?

Goals intrigue you because you like the idea of going after something and achieving it. But, if you’ve felt burned by goals in the past, it’s also normal to feel reluctance about setting a new one. 

This is especially true if you’ve consistently pursued goals that were not relevant, meaningful, or rewarding to you.

We’re going to change that today! So if you are ready to do goals differently, let’s get into 8 recommendations for pursuing goals that you truly care about:

If you struggle with sitting down to work after dealing with difficult situations or intense emotions, this episode is for you. 

Relationship conflict. Worrying about your kids. Hormonal flare-ups. 

These are all situations that generate intense negative emotions that can take our focus away from work.

If you’re like most people, you do one of two things when you feel this way: You either go into hustle mode and ignore your emotions to push through your work OR you do the opposite and spend the day on self-care instead of working on your important tasks. 

In this episode, you’ll learn a third option, with a cheeky name: “Weep while you work.”

This concept is the middle ground between overworking and always taking time off when you feel bad. 

Listen in as I discuss:

• The concept of “weep while you work”

Ready to get more done—with a fraction of the time, energy, and effort it normally takes you? The Bare Minimum Method is for you, especially if you often hit low-energy periods in your business that stress you out.
