The ultimate reason for not getting “stuff” done.

  • The reason that to-do list is never completed and that never feel like getting enough done has far less to do with procrastination, than with the chronic habit of overcommitting to work, and then underestimating how long that work will take me.

  • Reframing your time-crunch will allow you to embrace a growth mindset, identify solutions.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
