Ep 371: How To Stop Putting Off Non-Urgent Tasks

Often in business, we have important yet non-urgent tasks - they feel new and unfamiliar to us and they don’t have a set deadline. These tasks are easy to put off for later while we focus on other things that are more urgent.

I share why perfectionists normally struggle with this - as well as how to get non-urgent tasks done in your business -  in this episode.

If you want to honour the deadlines you set for yourself (even when no one else is watching), this episode was made for you. Tune in today.
