All of my work is devoted to helping people locate and remedy the disempowering forces in their work and life, so that they can reclaim their joyful productivity.
Procrastination, blocks, and other forms of underproductivity aren't due to laziness or lack of discipline, but disempowerment. Disempowerment means you're not missing anything you need to be productive: you're just separated from, or have lost access to, that which you have-i.e., your strengths, skills, talents and energy. (Laziness, etc., are symptoms, not causes, so please don't focus on them.)
My most recent books are
Productivity is Power I: 5 Liberating Practices for College Students (Infinite Art, 2022) and
Productivity is Power II: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals (Infinite Art, 2023).
Other books include the bestselling
The 7 Secrets of the Prolific,
The Journey is the Reward, and
The Lifelong Activist.
I have taught productivity and time-management classes at top writing, business, educational, arts, and community organizations throughout the United States.
My articles have appeared in Psychology Today, Huffington Post, Fortune, Future Buzz, Time Management Ninja, Tomorrow's Professor, Authors Helping Authors, The Thesis Whisperer, and numerous other publications.On a personal note, I was born in the Bronx, N.Y., and have also lived in Ithaca (NY), Boston (MA), and Kalamazoo (MI). I'm a vegan, living kidney donor, former foster mom of four South Sudanese refugee teenagers (now all adult and living independently), and lover of life, dogs, travel, and social justice in all its forms.
