Hi, I'm Terrie Power.

🤔Maybe you’re NOT doing it wrong

Notes as I prepare for what’s next

Terrie Power Coaching

…

Most of the people I work with believe they’re stuck because they’re not disciplined enough.

Or because they’re doing it wrong.

They’ve tried different planners, routines, habits, resets. They watch what works for other people and assume they should be able to make it work the same way.

So when it doesn’t stick, the conclusion feels obvious.
Something must be wrong with me.

I believed that for a long time too.

Here’s what I’ve seen over and over again.

The issue is rarely discipline.
And it’s almost never effort.

It’s fit.

Most productivity advice is built around one kind of person, one kind of rhythm, one kind of season. It doesn’t account for personality, energy, or how stress changes the way our brain plans, prioritizes, and follows through.

So people keep forcing systems that don’t fit and blaming themselves when they can’t hold it.

That wears you down.

And it keeps you stuck.

When you stop asking “How do I do this right?” and start asking “What actually works for me in this season?” something shifts.

Progress feels steadier.
Decisions get clearer.
And you stop fighting yourself just to move forward.

This idea has been shaping a lot of what I’ve been working on lately.

More soon.

And before we know it, August arrives and it feels like we should magically have everything figured out by Monday. Can I encourage you with one thought? Maybe nothing is wrong. Maybe you don't need...

What if you never felt ready? Terrie Power Coaching … A question for you... Have you noticed how "I just need to think about it a little more" can quietly turn into weeks...or even months? I laugh because I've said it, too. Sometimes it sounds like:"Let me do a little more research." Or..."I just need to get organized first." Or my personal favorite..."I'll start on Monday." None of those things are bad. But every now and then, they're really just another way of saying, "I'm waiting until I...

What If That Isn't True? Terrie Power Coaching … I think our brains have a favorite hobby. They make lists. Not grocery lists or to-do lists. Lists of everything that could go wrong. Why now isn't the right time. Why you're too busy. Why you don't know enough. Why someone else could do it better. The funny thing is...we rarely realize we're only reading one list.
