Hi, I'm Terrie Power.

I lost 3 hours doing nothing

You’re Not Lazy.
You’re Stuck in a Pattern.

Terrie Power Coaching

…

I lost three hours and couldn’t tell you what I did.

Laptop open. Notes everywhere.
It looked like I was working.

I wasn’t.

I told myself I needed more discipline.

That wasn’t it.

Here’s what I see all the time (in myself too):

When something feels uncomfortable or unclear…
we don’t stop.

We shift.

  • research instead of decide
  • plan instead of act
  • stay busy instead of move forward

It looks productive.

It’s not.

Next time you feel stuck, try this:

Where do I feel pressure?
What am I doing instead?
What am I trying not to feel?
What’s one step I can take anyway?

Just one.

I wrote more about this here: Why You Can’t Follow Through (And What Your Enneagram Has to Do With It)​

If you want to understand your pattern, start with the Free Enneagram Assessment.​

If you want to actually change it, that’s what we’ll do inside the cohort (starts April 14).

You’re not inconsistent.

You just haven’t named the pattern yet.

Let’s name the pattern together. Reach out and let me know what your patterns are. I read every email.

Work With Your Genius Terrie Power Coaching … Last week, I asked you to notice what drains you. Not what’s hard.Not what takes the longest.What quietly drains your energy… even when you’re perfectly capable of doing it. And based on some of the replies I got? This hit a nerve. Because most of us have been taught to interpret exhaustion one way: You need better discipline. Push through.Tighten the schedule.Be more consistent. But I want to suggest something different. What if the issue isn’t...

Why This Feels So Hard Terrie Power Coaching … I had a moment recently that made me pause mid-task. Not dramatic. No big breakdown.Just a quiet… what is going on here? I was doing something I’ve done a hundred times.The kind of thing I usually move through without thinking. And I could feel myself dragging through it. Not physically tired.More like resistance. Like every part of me was saying, I don’t want to do this again. Which didn’t make sense… because I’m good at it.It’s part of my...

Wrong Turn Terrie Power Coaching … I had one of those days this week where nothing felt unusual… but it actually said a lot. Just running errands. A few stops. Planning to meet a friend for lunch. Normal life. I was driving to the pharmacy, listening to a podcast, thinking about a hundred other things. You know the kind where your brain starts connecting ideas and you’re halfway somewhere but not fully present. And I kept getting into the right lane. Which would have been fine… except that...
