Listen Later
Let’s get honest for a minute - who else sabotages their author goals by endlessly putting their writing off? 

🙋‍♀️I see you - and I feel you! 

So the question is, how about we take back control and stop putting off what we really want to do? It’s time for some procrastination solutions with a little tough love in the mix!

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The incredibly bonkers ways I’ve avoided writing, not to mention how I even procrastinated during early labour. But if I can change my friend, so can you!
  • Why our ancient brains keep steering us to instant gratification despite knowing we’ll hate ourselves later. It’s hardwired but beatable.
  • My fave science-based focus hacks you can use when procrastinating over your writing - once you understand why we procrastinate, you can find strategies that work - I promise!

    • And lots more!

    So, if you’re ready to nip procrastination in the bud and get focused on your writing, this episode is for you. It’s one of my favourite ones yet because it’s got so many SIMPLE, PRACTICAL tools you can use right away.

    Enjoy!
