| EP. 50 What To Do During Our Summer Hiatus | 21 Jun 2023 | 00:06:48 | |
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!

| EP. 49 Why Doing Emotional Work Will Make Finishing Projects 1000x Easier with Sarah Yost | 30 May 2023 | 00:51:40 | |
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:
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.

| EP. 36 How We Avoid Our Negative Emotions by Overeating with Jennifer Dent-Brown | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:47:16 | |
Overeating. Overdrinking. Mindlessly scrolling Instagram. Doom-scrolling the news. Numbing out with Netflix. These are all ways that we buffer; meaning we use something external to cover up our negative emotions. In this episode, you’ll learn how buffering can wreak havoc on your productivity, by keeping you in a constant cycle of avoidance. I’m joined by Jennifer Dent-Brown, a weight loss coach who teaches women how to stop dieting permanently. So whether you struggle with your weight or not, this episode is for you.

| EP. 48 Three Client Case Studies: Their Productivity Struggles + Our Plan of Action | 23 May 2023 | 00:24:26 | |
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:
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.

| EP. 24 How to Plan a Break from Your Business with Kat Arapis | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:35:39 | |
One of the biggest perks of running your own business is the ability to take tons of time off—for vacations and trips, for a mini-sabbatical, to handle a personal issue, or for a parental leave. And yet—so few business owners take full advantage of this benefit, because we’re never taught how to effectively take long chunks of time away from our businesses without them suffering. In this episode, I’m joined by business coach Kat Arapis to talk about how to set up your business to take time off, while still getting your work done in a way that you love and hitting your goals. Kat has first-hand experience with this, from planning her own recent maternity leave, so I knew she’d be the perfect person to chat with on the podcast. Listen in as we discuss:

| EP. 22 Productivity Baggage | 08 Nov 2022 | 00:17:39 | |
If you’ve tried something in the past to solve your business challenges and you feel like it didn’t work, this episode is for you. Clients who join my program, Half-Finished to Done, LIVE, are often hesitant to enroll because they’ve tried other programs, podcasts, books, and productivity methods to solve their challenges with time management, procrastination, and focus, to no avail. I call this productivity baggage. It’s very normal but it’s solvable. It can be super frustrating to feel like you went all in on something in the past, and it didn't work. These experiences can hold you back from wanting to say yes to another potential solution in the future. First, stop beating yourself up about having failed at something in the past. Instead, give yourself a moment to appreciate your past efforts, even though they didn't pan out the way you wanted them to. Then, experiment with these two ideas:
Lastly, let's talk about what to do next. Listen in as I share the #1 thing that you can do in order to have more peace around your past decisions. When you find the next thing that you want to say yes to, you’ll be able to do it from a much healthier, more relaxed place, knowing that you're making the right decision.

| EP. 21 How To Audit Your Calendar | 01 Nov 2022 | 00:20:00 | |
If you have a jam-packed calendar and you’re not getting the results that you want in your business, it tells us that your time is misaligned. You likely have too many things on your schedule that are taking up your mental, emotional, and physical energy, without giving you what you actually want in return—like more finished projects that create more revenue, more positive emotions, more impact, more social capital, and more time for you. Let’s start realigning your time today by running a calendar audit. In this episode, I’m teaching you how, using 4 frameworks. If you already use your calendar actively in order to track what's going on with the schedule in your business or if you are looking to start actively calendaring, this episode is going to be particularly helpful for you.

| EP. 47 Why Being Open to Selling Your Business Enhances Your Productivity Right Now with Stacey Harris | 16 May 2023 | 00:57:12 | |
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.

| EP. 18 Sprinting and Resting Strategy Session with Samantha Hoilett | 11 Oct 2022 | 01:02:38 | |
I recently shared on Instagram that I run my business on what I call a “sprint and rest” model— meaning I go heads-down in my business for a focused period, then take a ton of time off. This model works well for me because it allows me to work with my natural energy ebbs and flows, vs trying to be “consistent” every day and feeling bad that I’m not. So in case you needed to hear this: You don’t need to be consistent in a traditional sense in order to be successful in business. (From the mouth of a Procrastination Coach.) After I posted about sprinting and resting on Instagram, Samantha Hoilett reached out to me to talk about her own decision to shift her business into a sprint and rest model. Listen in as we discuss:

| EP. 13 Self-Image: From Procrastinator to Project Finisher with Elyse Conroy | 06 Sep 2022 | 00:45:32 | |
In this episode, we are talking about confident self-image, specifically what this looks like in your life and in your business. Your self-image is what you think about yourself and what you tell yourself about what and who you are. It’s also affected by what you think other people think of you. Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with others and the world around us. In other words, what you believe as the truth is going to influence every aspect of every result that you create in your life without you even realizing it. So if you consider yourself a procrastinator, chances are you will remain so until your self-image changes. How can you change your self-image? I’m glad you asked! Our guest today is Elyse Conroy and she will share exactly how you can build a strong self-image. Elyse helps high-performing, ambitious women become unapologetically confident in both life & business by teaching them how to see beyond their limits & create confidence on demand.

Do you have mixed feelings about setting goals? Goals intrigue you because you like the idea of going after something and achieving it.

Did you know that your experience with past projects can impact your emotional life?

| EP. 07 Moving Past Procrastination as a Coping Mechanism | 26 Jul 2022 | 00:12:16 | |
Bold claim: All self-proclaimed procrastinators fundamentally crave success and fear failure. There are two catches here: We also fear success…and success is predicated on failure. So we’re simultaneously craving and fearing success, while also fearing failure—which leaves us in a bit of a pickle. What’s actually happened is that over time, we've developed a series of coping mechanisms with our behavior that protect us. This includes procrastination. This episode will help you work through releasing some of these coping mechanisms in order to have more success with your projects. What’s inside the episode:

If your brain is prioritizing the status quo instead of taking on an exciting, challenging, daunting new project, nothing's gone wrong. That's just the way that your brain is wired. Luckily, there is something that we can do about this. We can consciously bring our attention and focus to the return on investment (ROI) that comes when we work on our projects and see them all the way to completion. And so in this episode, I will share with you the 5 types of project ROI that are going to make you more compelled and more motivated to show up to work on your projects. What’s inside the episode:

| EP. 04 Moving Your Projects from Half-Finished to Done | 05 Jul 2022 | 00:16:50 | |
Thinking about projects that we leave half-finished often evokes feelings of self-judgment, self-criticism, guilt, shame, embarrassment, or other negative emotions. I want to introduce you to a different way to approach this. Let’s look at this scientifically. I want you to consider that the difference between a half-finished project and a finished project is just inputs and outputs. When we look at it with the curiosity of a scientist, it removes so much of the emotional heaviness, which helps you change things moving forward. Listen in as I break this down into four different inputs and one output that you need to keep procrastination at bay and take your projects from half-finished to done. What’s inside the episode:

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.
