Robin’s journey: a 2019 face-palm moment that changed everything
The prevalence of procrastination 
The COVID-19 shutdown—and an opportunity to do meaningful research
Robin’s embarrassment about his procrastination problem
The structure of Robin’s book, GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, divided into three specific sections
“Money is infinite; you can always make more. Your time and life are finite. Procrastination greatly impacts your ‘time account’.”
Momentum is the missing link to productivity—and this creates lifestyle freedom.
To get into “the productivity groove,” you need an inner productivity team: the Conductor (dopamine), the Fun-Sized Warrior (noradrenaline), and the Scholar (acetylcholine).
Assessing your threat modality vs. your reward modality
Understanding accountability–and how it drives results

About Robin J. Emdon

Robin J. Emdon is the creator of GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done!, a research-backed system that helps solopreneurs beat procrastination, build momentum, and follow through on what matters most.

Robin was one of a small, invitation-only group selected for an intensive life-coach programme taught by Tony Robbins* and his faculty in 2001. The training was meant to prepare them for roles at his organisation in San Diego, but when that opportunity changed Robin stayed in the UK, launched his own life-coaching practice, and later stepped back to raise his two young sons.

Known to clients today as The Procrastination Slayer, Robin had a face-palm moment in 2019 when he realised it had taken him ten years to finish a six-year degree. That wake-up call launched his mission to master procrastination.

During the Covid lockdowns in 2020 he discovered that researchers had published more than 900 studies on procrastination in a single decade and pulled the most practical lessons from the strongest research and leading books to shape his momentum formula: 

Do it today, Profit tomorrow, Repeat.

Peer-reviewed research from the Dominican University of California shows that working with an accountability partner can raise goal-achievement rates by up to 33 percent, a finding woven into every GetResultsology® plan.

Robin hosts The GoalBusters Podcast, now past 100 episodes, where he talks with fellow solopreneurs and uncovers the real-world productivity tactics behind their success.

From South Devon, England, he coaches clients worldwide, helping solopreneurs, creatives, and other no-boss professionals turn scattered effort into consistent progress and profit.
