PROCRASTINATION

DARREN YEBOAH'S STORY OF OVERCOMING A LIFELONG HABIT OF PROCRASTINATION AND FRUSTRATION WHILE SCREENWRITING AND MASSIVELY INCREASING HIS FOCUS TIME AND PRODUCTIVITY AS A RESULT OF COACHING WITH UMAR.

After working with Umar, Darren was able to eliminate his procrastination and boost his daily writing time from 10 minutes to approximately 3 hours. He was also able to remove the frustration from a particular stage of his writing process, allowing him to continue to express himself creatively and extend his creative writing period. As a consequence, he is more productive, energised, and focussed in his writing, as well as able to spend more time on industry networking.
