Let’s be honest: procrastination isn’t about laziness. It’s about avoidance. Avoiding discomfort, avoiding fear, and avoiding the hard stuff that actually grows your business.
If you’ve ever found yourself deep in organizing your sock drawer or cleaning your tea stash instead of doing the real work—yeah, same. But procrastination will keep your myofunctional therapy business stuck, no matter how passionate or educated you are.
At the Ditch Hygiene Academy™, we help hygienists break the cycle and take bold action. Here’s how:
1. Call Yourself Out (With Love)Be honest: is this task moving your biz forward, or is it just busy work? Recognize the difference. Awareness is step one.
2. Hit a Hard ResetLiterally stop what you’re doing. Take a breath. Interrupt the autopilot mode and reclaim your focus.
3. Identify the Real Task You’re AvoidingIt’s usually the thing that matters most. The email you need to send. The offer you need to post. The uncomfortable, high-impact stuff.
4. Use the 10-Minute RuleSet a timer and just start. You don’t need to finish the whole thing—just get going. Most of the time, you’ll keep going.
5. Reward YourselfYep, like a toddler who used the potty. Celebrate small wins to build positive momentum.
“You don’t need more time—you need to stop lying to yourself about what’s actually productive. Call it out, reset, and do the real work.” — Carmen Woodland
If procrastination is keeping you from taking the next step in your myo biz, it’s time to shift your mindset and take messy, meaningful action.
The future you’re building won’t come from ‘later’—it starts now.
