EP 186 — Professional Procrastination

In this episode of James Williams Coaching, I talk about professional procrastination and how easy it can be to avoid the things we know we need to do while convincing ourselves that we’re still being productive.

Sometimes procrastination doesn’t look like doing nothing. It looks like working on something else that feels important, allowing us to justify avoiding the task that really needs our attention. I share some examples of how this has affected me and what I do to work through it.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How procrastination can disguise itself as productivity

• Why we justify avoiding certain tasks

• Recognising when being busy is actually avoidance

• How I work through professional procrastination

• The long term impact of continually putting off the things that matter

EP 185 — Who Really Controls Your Calendar?

In this episode of James Williams Coaching, I talk about the importance of taking control of your calendar and being more intentional with how you use your time.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why controlling your calendar is so important for productivity

• How structure can help you manage your time more effectively

• The importance of going into conversations with intent

• Why other people’s priorities don’t always need to become yours

• How to protect your calendar when people want your time on their terms

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why being process driven is more effective than focusing solely on the outcome

• How a trusted process can help agents manage the emotion and energy of a campaign

How your energy can influence your performance

In this episode of James Williams Coaching, I talk about why lasting change often starts by thinking smaller, not bigger.

When we're inspired, it's easy to set ambitious goals. But if those goals feel too far away, they can become overwhelming and stop us from taking action. Sometimes the best way to create lasting habits is to start with something so small that success feels inevitable, then build from there.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why ambitious goals can sometimes become overwhelming

The power of starting with small, achievable habits

How consistency creates momentum over time

Why lasting change is often built one step at a time
