  • How to Stop Doing the Things You Hate (Ep. 2)
    May 13 2024

    We all have things on our lists that we HATE to do - whether in our business or personal lives. But they are necessary evils. Taking out the garbage, scrubbing the toilets or maybe in your business it’s crunching the numbers if you’re a creative.

    These are the things that we dread and procrastinate on because doing them sucks away our energy and motivation. And then after we procrastinate on them enough, we feel the extra guilt pile on because we know they SHOULD get done, but we don’t WANT to do them.

By the end, you’ll have a model to sort your work and a filter you can use to get rid of the things that are wasting your time and draining your energy, and keeping you from getting the REAL meaningful work done.
