The Busyness Trap, Module 1 is Now Available: Enroll Early!

Enroll early in the Busyness Trap: Escape Overload and Focus on What Matters: https://dyan-williams.thinkific.com/courses/busyness-trap.

For an early enrollment fee of $29, you will get unlimited access to Module 1 plus all new modules that are added incrementally.

The price of this course will increase as more modules are published. When all the modules are made available, the enrollment fee could be from $99 to $199.

A year ago, I started outlining the modules and writing the lessons for this self-paced online course. It builds on the 5 productivity principles described in my book, The Incrementalist: A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small Steps

By taking this course, you will learn why you fall into the busyness trap, what keeps you stuck there, and how to get out and stay out.

Module 1 contains 12 minutes of 5 video lessons: 

1) Welcome (or what to expect in this course)
2) Productivity Principles to Beat Busyness
3) Fast Changes and Tech Overuse Make You Busier
4) Small Steps to Giant Leaps
5) No Quick Fixes or One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

Lessons may be updated or added to provide more value and to address common questions and constructive feedback. For updates on the course, subscribe to the enewsletter or to The Incrementalist YouTube channel or podcast.

Why the Law of Attraction is Unproductive and (Even) Harmful

The Law of Attraction says your thoughts and feelings manifest your reality; they contain vibrations and frequencies that create tangible outcomes or visible results. It’s pseudoscience that makes vague references to neurology, metaphysics and quantum mechanics.

The Law of Attraction is a New Thought or New Age concept. The idea is that whatever you desire, the universe will provide. The 3 steps of manifestation are to ask, belief and receive. There is no action step.

When you’re in the realm of possibility, action typically beats inaction. You could break down the challenge to make the action steps easier, struggle less, and apply the effort that you can reasonably manage. The incrementalist approach is more doable than trying to harness your mind power to manifest desired outcomes.

In episode 71 of The Incrementalist, you will learn 7 reasons why the Law of Attraction is unproductive and even harmful.
