Listen: Done is better than perfect
Welcome to the very first episode of the Chasing Bateman podcast! Today, we're tackling that seemingly innocent procrastination habit that's keeping me – and I'm guessing, many of you – from reaching our personal and professional goals. Do you live by a to-do list, but find that some tasks sit untouched for days, months or…
What the 2020?
I definitely think 2020’s reputation precedes it at this point in the year. If bad things are supposed to come in threes, someone must explain to me how we’ve accumulated 798 of them since just mid-March. And yet, somehow we’ve miraculously made it what, in my humble opinion, is the best part of the year…the…
