Well… it’s already the end of October… and you know what that means… It’s the end of Anti-Procrastination Month 2008.

For this final post, I want to share with you something from Havi Brooks, co-owner of The Fluent Self (her partner in crime is yellow and squeaky). The same instruction as I gave you yesterday about Dave Navarro, I’m repeating to you today: If you don’t know Havi… go meet her, right now.

The problem I’m having with today’s post is finding just one of Havi’s blog articles that I love more than another… and I can’t, ’cause I love them all…

So instead of posting one of Havi’s articles (which you’re going to read while you’re there anyways), I’m going to gush over her Procrastination Dissolve-O-Matic package.


Havi’s specialty is two-fold: Destuckification and Biggification (those are her words… I only wish I could coin cool new words like that).

And (dare I) tie those two together with one main theme (and it rhymes): Simplification.

She basically breaks down procrastination to the core without any added layers. This may not sound profound, but it is because we live in a society that likes to layer with labels (you procrastinate = you’re lazy, I’m procrastinating = I suck, etc.), and we’re so used to it. After stripping procrastination down to it’s most neked stake, Havi will show you how to add a layer of mindfulness, stop the criticism and labels, detach from the pain, focus and step into action.

Then she’ll teach you how to have fun in the process (that’s right… I said FUN).

You’ll learn how to use your body to stop procrastination cold in its tracks.

Then she…. alright… I’ll stop here, ’cause the book is over 100 pages… and I want to save some surprises for you to discover on your own.

You get the point….

I guess what I’m trying to tell you is, if you’re still really stuck — not just a little — and you’ve tried EVERYTHING else under the sun to beat procrastination, you must must MUST check out Procrastination Dissolve-O-Matic. Havi will shake you up and take you to a totally different place to whip your stuck self back into action… quickly and painlessly.

    Hi Cristina,

    Just wanted to say that I've started reading your blog. I'm wondering if you have heard about the book, “What Men Don't Tell Women About Business”. I heard the guy (Chris Flett) on the Today Show and thought you probably have already heard of him. I'm wondering what your thoughts were. He seems to be really taking on the 'Old Boys Club”. I just emailed him, but haven't heard back.

    Anyway, keep up the great writing.

    Best,

    Bihter.

    I love Havi's blog and what she has to say. In fact, I love it so much she is today's featured Someday Interview on my blog… ;)

    Hi Cristina,

    I've been doing some additional research on the author, Chris Flett, that I talked about on my last comment. His company is “GhostCEO” (http://www.GhostCEO.com) and his book is a bestseller. I found it on Amazon here. Anyway, he was in the NY Times last Sunday under the “Career Couch” and he makes reference to women's blogs like yours so I thought you might like to connect. I'd like to see you interview him and see what he's all about. I saw on another blog he was a guest blogger. His email is: chris@ghostceo.com

    Best wishes,

    Bihter.
