Productivity and Time Management Coaching with Juliet Landau-Pope PCC
Too much on your to-do list? Overwhelmed by urgent tasks?
Maybe you have a clear goal but find yourself avoiding or delaying. Or you sit down to work and somehow end up scrolling on your phone, making another cup of tea, or playing with the dog.
Whether you’re building a career, growing a business, or simply trying to make headway with hobbies, time management can be fiendishly difficult.
Procrastination, perfectionism, chronic disorganisation and lack of focus can all get in the way, undermining confidence and causing frustration. And if you’re affected by ADHD or executive dysfunction, the challenges may be especially acute.
For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people from diverse backgrounds to get ‘unstuck’. As a certified professional coach and productivity expert, I don’t teach one specific method but rather work with you to understand what holds you up and what drives you forward.
The good news is that time management skills can be learned. With guidance and support, you can learn to plan, prioritise and focus on what matters most.

Time management isn’t really about time
My approach to productivity coaching is practical and purposeful. It’s not about squeezing more into your day, it’s about understanding what gets in the way, so you can be more intentional with your time. Coaching involves exploring your relationship with time through different lenses. Together we review each of these areas and build strategies that genuinely fit how you live and work:
- Tasks: breaking down what needs to be done and deciding what to tackle first
- Emotions: noticing how feelings like anxiety, guilt or overwhelm affect your ability to get started or keep going
- Energy: working with your natural rhythms, rather than against them
- Attention: reducing distractions and building focus
- Boundaries: protecting your time from other people’s demands and your own tendency to overcommit
- Decisions: reducing decision fatigue so you have energy left for what matters
- Information: managing email, notes and digital clutter so nothing important gets lost
- Motivation: sustaining momentum once you’ve started
And if clutter is an issue in your physical environment at home or at work Virtual Organising Coaching may help too.
How does productivity coaching work?
Coaching isn’t about generic advice. It’s a series of honest conversations to explore what’s holding you back and build on what’s working. Here’s what it entails.
- A free 20-minute consultation via Zoom to discuss your difficulties and goals, and explore how I could help
- An initial 60-minute session to start looking more closely at your time management challenges
- Regular coaching sessions on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, available on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis or with discounted packages
- Coaching by phone or Zoom wherever you are in the world, or in person if you’re in London
- Productivity Bootcamps involve 5 x 15-minute sessions over five consecutive days, ideal when you need more intensive support to meet a deadline
- Body Doubling sessions provide accountability by working alongside you (on Zoom) in real time. More details on request.
- Strict confidentiality and a commitment to ICF and ICD Codes of Ethics

Innovative talks and training on time management and productivity
The strategies I use in coaching also translate well to groups. I regularly speak to organisations and community groups on time management, procrastination and productivity, in person and online, helping teams and audiences build practical skills, boost focus and work more effectively together.
Time management is also a core skill for students, so it forms an integral part of the study skills coaching and talks I offer for schools, colleges and universities.

My Books and Free Resources on Productivity
What’s Your Excuse for Not Being More Productive?
We all tell stories, to other people and to ourselves, to explain why we procrastinate: “I work better under pressure.” “I just don’t have the time.” “I’m waiting until I feel ready.” This book helps you spot these excuses and reframe them, so they stop holding you back. It’s a quick, practical read, ideal to dip into for a shot of motivation, or as a gift for anyone who’s struggling to get things done.
Available in print or for Kindle. Discover more here.

Juliet’s coaching was very helpful in challenging my natural inertia. Her honesty, integrity and enthusiasm to encourage change continue to inspire me to reflect on what is really important, and to make changes one day at a time.
I offer productivity coaching, study skills support, virtual organising, and specialist coaching for ADHD and chronic disorganisation, and many of these approaches overlap and can be combined. There’s no need to figure out the exact fit before getting in touch. During a free consultation, we’ll discuss your situation and explore what might suit you best, whether that’s one type of coaching with me, a combination of different approaches, or perhaps something else entirely. I’ll gladly answer any of your questions too, and all in strictest confidence. Book a free consultation to get started.
The coaching approach is the same, practical, client-led and evidence-informed. The difference is really one of focus and starting point. This page is for anyone looking to improve time management and productivity, whatever the underlying cause. My ADHD and Chronic Disorganisation Coaching page is for those whose main challenges relate specifically to ADHD or executive functioning, where we may focus more explicitly on strategies tailored to how your brain works.
Fees are charged per session, with flexible pay-as-you-go options or discounted packages available if you prefer to book multiple sessions in advance. Costs vary depending on session length (30 or 60 minutes) and whether you choose individual sessions or a package. For UK clients eligible for Access to Work funding, this may cover some or all of the cost of coaching. Please get in touch for full pricing details.
I’ve researched many approaches to time management and productivity over the years, and am constantly updating my knowledge of tools and techniques. From apps and appliances to books and blogs, I’ll recommend resources that suit you individually. I’ve also developed my own strategies that draw on current social science as well as lessons learned from professional practice. As a result, I don’t promote any one specific method. Nor do I suggest the same strategies for all clients. It’s more a fusion of ideas and suggestions that will help you devise routines that work best for you and your lifestyle.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person, depending on your goals and the challenges you’re facing. Some clients find a handful of sessions enough to build momentum and establish new habits, while others prefer ongoing support over several months. Coaching doesn’t have to be continuous, either; some clients find it useful to take a break to practise new routines, then return after a period to review progress. I offer a pay-as-you-go fee system, so you won’t be locked into appointments in advance.
