There’s incredible science behind why we put things off—and how we can follow through with what we start. By overcoming procrastination, ugly tasks feel effortless and we feel significantly less overwhelmed.
As I will break down for you in the course, the key to finishing what you start is to intentionally deploy the right tactics for getting started.
Six things make us put a task/project/commitment off: when it’s boring, frustrating, unpleasant, far off in the future, unstructured, or meaningless. Everything has a different amount of all of these: What makes you put off your taxes is different than what makes you put off deep cleaning a cluttered closet.
In the course, I’ll walk you through finishing everything you start—by investing in the right strategies, for the right tasks, at the right time.
I can’t wait to see you inside the course—and also in the included webinars! This is going to be fun.

What are people saying?
Here are some results people are getting from the course.
“This course has already done more for me than the many, many books I’ve read on productivity. Chris is so human, personable and knowledgeable – a pitch-perfect guide who helps us to understand the reasons why we procrastinate, and how to overcome them. Everything is fully evidence-based, but never too onerous, and never judgmental, like a supportive friend who’s got it figured out and is happy to share. My own personal procrastination list (of tasks I never seem to get around to) is already shortening. This is nothing short of amazing. I honestly cannot recommend this course enough. Worth every penny and then some.”
-Marie
“Chris has done what no one else could. For twenty-five years, I’ve had coach after coach — each one trying to help me pull that sword from the stone. The transformation has been profound. Clients and colleagues who had written me off now stand in disbelief at the 180-degree change. The sense of calm, purpose, and self-trust that came from his process has touched every corner of my life. Chris has become my King Arthur — the one who helped me lift the weight of years off my shoulders. For that, I am sincerely, empathetically, and eternally thankful.”
-Stewart
“The bite-sized videos and immediately actionable tips are exactly as powerful and useful as I expected them to be. I’ve told everyone who would listen to me about the values test and I think that’s going to be the biggest takeaway for me. I’m a huge fan of finding new ways that self-knowledge can be leveraged for motivation —and the Values-Edit feels like the holy grail of cognitive reframes. I’m excited to continue using it in my life and sharing it with friends.”
-Allison
“It’s been a joy to “hang out” with Chris while he actively engages the learner and passes on his hard-earned wisdom on overcoming procrastination. His experience as an author, speaker and productivity nerd combine into a polished end product that’s well worth your time and attention!“
-Scott
