Attention Solopreneurs and Small Business Owners
Do you get to the end of each week
with most of your "to-dos" still "not done"?
You are not alone! The answer is NOT more discipline, more commitment, longer hours
or another productivity hack.
If you want to understand why important work keeps getting left unfinished — and learn practical ways to change the pattern — this workshop is for you.
You work hard all week…
so why is the important work still not getting done?
You start each day with good intentions:
“Today I will finally get the important stuff done.”
Then .....
You start scanning the "to-do" list
You spend an hour doing all the "quick" tasks
You check your emails again.....and again....
Then you check your social media...and get sidetracked...
The phone won’t stop ringing so you answer calls
You spend 40 minutes fighting with the printer
Someone wants an answer to their question NOW!
Then you check the "to-do" lists and emails again... but now you don't have much time so you do some quick things to get them off the list.
Crossing things off the list feels good until you realise that you have spent all day doing everything except the things that would actually move your business forward.
The urgent stuff and the easy stuff has taken all your energy, time and attention and at the end of the week the same important things are still sitting on the to-do list.. not done!
The Work You Put Off Doesn’t Disappear....
It follows you.
It sits in the back of your mind while you are trying to focus.
It interrupts your concentration.
It pops into your head when you are trying to switch off.
It becomes one more invisible thing you have to carry....adding to the mental pressure...
Maybe the thing gets done under pressure when the deadline is close...
but it might be half done, badly done or done late...
Then you are exhausted, maybe disappointed, maybe relieved...
But there are more "not done" things still sitting in the back of your mind....
Maybe you even tell yourself:
“I work well under pressure.”
Maybe you tell yourself "I can't keep working like this... I will do better next time...
But over time it gets harder to get started without deadline pressure....
That is a very different problem to solve.
Some "Solutions" can be part of the Problem
A lot of business and productivity advice makes this sound simple:
Put everything on a to-do list
Be more disciplined.
Use time blocks
Use my productivity app.
Put everything in your calendar
You just need to manage time better
Work longer hours
You just need to cram more work in the day....Multitasking will fix it!!
When these things don't work you start to blame yourself...
Maybe there is something wrong with me
I just need more willpower and motivation
I must have some deep psychological block
Maybe I don't want success bad enough
I should be able to stay on top of everything....
I should JUST STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!
What if the Usual Explanations are Missing Something?
When you run a small business, getting important work done is not simple. There is always more work to do than you can actually get done and applying common productivity tools without understanding why things are not working can actually cause more problems.
It's time to stop blaming yourself and take a closer look at what is happening and why it is happening.
As I worked with clients trying to deal with increasingly demanding work roles I could see that the "usual" explanations and "fixes" did not work and often made the problem worse.
Just because some important work is not getting done in a timely way does not necessarily mean that you are not committed or not working hard enough, and it is not automatically proof that you have a deep subconscious block!
The real issue may be much more practical.
There is always more work to do than you can get done and most of the things that will move the business forward can be complex and time consuming which makes it difficult to get this work done when you are already struggling to keep up with everything.
Procrastination is Not the Problem!
When your brain is overloaded, under pressure, or running on empty, it becomes much harder focus on the important work that will make the business stronger or better.
Procrastination is a symptom, an observable sign, a clue that you can look at with curiosity to find out what is really going on.
That changes the question completely.
Instead of asking:
“How do I stop procrastinating?” or trying to find more "motivation"
You begin asking:
“WHY is there a gap between what I intend to do and what actually gets done and WHAT PRACTICAL CHANGES can I make to bridge that gap?"
That gap is where you will find the "problem" and the key to a solution.... but we are not looking for just one problem or solution.
If you are struggling to keep up or get important things done it is probably a sign that your brain is struggling too because demand is exceeding capacity.
Understanding why this is happening will reveal both the problems and the solutions!
Your Brain Is Your Most Valuable Business Asset
Every idea begins there.
Every decision is made there there.
Every strategy is planned there.
Every problem is solved there.
Yet most business owners spend more time learning how to use their software
than learning how to create the conditions their brain needs to perform well.
The problem is probably not your work ethic or some deep psychological block.
It is the combination of high demands, an overloaded brain,
and the unhelpful ways we try to keep everything going.
But there is a better way...
Imagine working differently...
What if you could learn to interrupt the patten...
To recognise when and why your brain is avoiding a particular task and creating the frustrating gap between intention and action.......
What if you could understand how to match thinking mode, task demands and brain resources to achieve better outcomes rather than being stuck in a spiral of stress and self- blame!
Understanding what happens-
and how to make changes.
For more than 15 years, I have helped hundreds of capable people in corporate and government settings understand what happens when demands exceed their brain’s available capacity—and change how they work to achieve better outcomes.
I designed this workshop to make that knowledge practical and accessible for small business owners. It draws on applied neuroscience, business research and positive psychology, refined through years of sitting alongside people as they apply new approaches to real work in real workplaces.
When you understand the interaction between your brain, workload, working conditions and habits, you have more options. You can make changes that fit your circumstances, achieve better outcomes with less stress, and adapt as demands change.
Because understanding is only the beginning, we will also look at why change can be difficult and what helps a different way of working stick.
