4 Ways to Ditch Procrastination + 10X Your Productivity!

FREEBIE FRIDAY:  bit.ly/GG-Freebies

But before you start beating yourself up… do me a favor and read this, mmmkay?

There’s a reason you’re procrastinating and sabotaging yourself…
...but it has nothing to do with laziness.

Here’s why you ACTUALLY procrastinate...

𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 / 𝘌𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥 → 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦

“Build a 6-figure biz. Create your coaching offer. Talk to 100 potential clients.” UGH -- you feel tired just thinking about it.

And for good reason: staring down a shit ton of work *is* paralyzing. Esp when your screen time is over 3+ hrs per day (consuming content)... Your brain is in constant overload, even when scrolling passively. STAHP!

Chunk it down into digestible pieces you can tackle with more agility. If you’re constantly facing giant projects... you’ll give up before you even...

Who is the person you break the most promises to?

That’s right - yourself.

We’re try our hardest to keep our promises to other people (and literally can drive ourselves CRAZY in the process) -

but when it comes to the promises we make to ourselves…. we break it.

+ I’m going to get up and workout in the morning.

+ I will drink 100oz of water today

+ I will send in my application to grad school this month

….. the list goes on and on.

Why do we do it? Well, we don’t value our own time. And we think we will always have more of it.

But if we are learning anything right now - it is that the future is unpredictable. In order to value your time and keep promises to yourself, you have to start with your DAILY HABITS.

One of our best tips? Schedule out your day and stick to it!! You can do this on your phone in your calendar app, or if you love pen and paper like we do, write it down!! There is power in putting your intentions in writing. It makes it harder...

It’s ok NOT to be OK...

Transform MAJOR OBSTACLES MASSIVE OPPORTUNITIES!

GG: BALANCING #SOCIAL FREEBIE  http://bit.ly/GG-Balancing-Social 

Imagine this: 'future you' came to visit from the year 2023 (*cue Jonas Brothers 'Year 3000' song...*) + she's wearing the cutest black booties EVER...

She assures you that all things COVID-19 are old news.

We're ALL healthy or healing - and you and your business are absolutely T-H-R-I-V-I-N-G (instead of just surviving, like so many others...) - DAMN.

It's a pretty mind-blowing thought, isn't it?

The truth is this: a LOT of what's happening in the world right now feels super out of our control, yeah?

So, HOW can you take the POWER back in your life/business?

Ask yourself this question:

If THIS obstacle what the BEST thing to ever happen to you or your business - HOW would the next 2, 6, 12 months look???
PROFESSIONALLY:
How could you prioritize the activities that actually help make more sales (think: new discounts, connecting in the DM's etc.)?...

GG: Content Creation FREEBIE  http://bit.ly/GG-Balancing-Social

REAL TALK: who else has spent an *embarrassing* amount of time stalking their ex’s new girl on Facebook?

**literally everyone slowly raises their hand… LOL**

Yeah SAMEEEE ‍

+ We get it… + whether it’s:

…stalking old frenemies/hookup’s on Snapchat…
…eye-rolling your aunt’s racist FB posts…
…scrolling through insta-influencers photo-shopped bikini pics…
…following the most cringe-worthy celeb rants on Twitter...

...most of us have accidentally curated our feeds to make us FEEL totally MISERABLE a LOT of the time! (#OhSh*t...)

So, gal - we want to ask you this: what’s the ‘PRICE OF ENTRY’ that you’re charging to get access to yo' PRECIOUS feed/mind?

Why’s it important to curate?

CORONAVIRUS + #Social (Media) Distancing!

WHAT. A. SH*T. STORM. #AmIRight?!

This week has honestly felt like a scene straight out of 'Contagion' or 'I Am Legend'... + there's nothing like a nation-wide plea for toilet paper to remind us of the importance of the BASICS (literally).

However, as crazy/uncertain as these times may be... it almost feels like the fear and overwhelm that we're all dealing with is just as infectious as COVID-19 itself... + our addiction to the feed isn't helping anyone feel ANY better.

We WANT to stay informed. As humans, we CRAVE being in the know and we have a VERY hard time dealing with the unknown. We're wired for answers - and when it seems as though we're not getting any, our natural instinct is to... F*CKING. PANIC.

*breatheeeeee, sis....*

REMEMBER: the STRESS that you're inflicting on your body from freaking out - is DETRIMENTAL to the strong, badass, beautiful white blood cells that...

How NOT Setting INTENTION Can Screw You/Your Biz Over


GG: FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

It's a mistake a LOT of female entrepreneurs make (us included!)... + tbh, you've probably already made it TODAY (#NoShame #AlwaysGrowGirl)
Trying to function throughout your day, or get through the seemingly never-ending to-do's of your business list without INTENTION is like trying to find a Waffle House in the middle of Vermont without a GPS... *F*CKING. HARD* 

You MIGHT get there, eventuallyyyy... but it's going to take you:

...10 x as longer... (when you already feel out of time)

­ ...make you wanna pull your hair out...(NO GIRL PLZ)

...+ there's a HUGE chance you might not make it (womp womp).

We end up doing this SO often, that we just fall into the habits that no longer serve us, waste our own damn time or don't ACTUALLY get us RESULTS.

Especially when it comes to moving the dial on your biz... $$$

The Importance of CELEBRATING your PROGRESS!

GG: FEBRUARY FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

How ironic (+ pretty screwed up, TBH...) is it that we're SO BUSY searching for positive reinforcement (read: validation) from:

‍ ...our bosses...

...our besties... ‍‍

‍‍‍ ...our partners...

‍‍ ...our parents...

‍ ...that one co-worker we don't actually like but still weirdly feel the need to impress...

-- that we basically forget to spend ANY energy/time on celebrating our own progress along the way?

The truth is, we're often so preoccupied with trying to impress everyone else (usually with the best intentions!) - OR so focused on what's up next (on the to-do list, in the inbox, answering the kiddo's)...

...that we don't even give our inner cheerleader the game-time to shineeee!!!

+ even when we do, we usually keep the 'megaphone' reserved for our critiques, instead of our triumphs...

...yikes...
...
