5 Steps to Bust Through Your Task List, Conquering Procrastination and Overwhelm
Does this sound familiar….
You keep putting off the “big stuff” because you just don’t know where to start. You keep telling yourself that if you could just sit down and grind through it, you’d be fine.
You know you can’t do it all, but surely you can find time for just this one more thing.
In this action-packed session you will learn:
WHY the biggest, most important projects you’ve planned to do slide into the next day . . . still don’t get done and continue to hog space on your To-Do list.
HOW to bust through procrastination. You’ll find out how to take control of your task list and STOP the feelings of being weighed down, overwhelmed, and confused.
WHAT positive self-talk really is, when it works, and why it’s only a piece of the solution you need.
You’ll walk away with tools to take into your life and start to use right away!

Join Colette Desmond Fearnley to learn how Staples, a trusted advisor of their customers, has built strong communities over the past three years in their existing coworking spaces.
Presently the Staples Studios are entering the next phase that includes state-of-the-art Podcast Studios in partnership with major media consultants. In addition, Staples communities can communicate with their customers in a whole new way via podcasting. Podcasting is easy and simple!
