I had some resistence to working with Rachel, because of the connotation to the word. BUT, now I am seeing it differently. She is actually a partner with you to support you accomplishing your dreams, one step at a time. I don’t know about you, but, being a perfectionist, I can get really frustrated with the ways I stop myself from moving forward. Then there’s this negative feedback loop that goes on: the more I feel frustrated thae less I do, the less I do, the more I am frustrated. You get the drift.

Rachel can step into that tangled mess with you and ask, what’s the one thing you could do today? or whats the 5 small steps you could take today, or some other rendition of a relevant question and surprisingly, the knot untangles and you are moving forward.

So,even though the name is (intentionally)provocative, she is redefining what it means. She is really a partner, and well worth the investment of time and money.

NAGGING is usually seen as expressing the NAG’s annoyance at why you aren’t doing what they think you should be doing.

But the ProNAGGER helps you figure out how to do — in small bits — what is it that YOU most deeply want to do. She’s figured out how to do that for herself and is now sharing her deep experience with others.

In fact, the NAG stands for Notorious Action Generator —> try it and see!

I can see that the word “NAG” is really getting a lot of people’s attention. It does have that effect…Thank goodness.

People who are sensitive to, or have struggle with, organizational issue probably have felt the sting of being nagged by friends and family. Those are my people!

I am not a reminder service, what I do is help you put the how and why in your to-do lists. It’s true, I am a NAG, a “Notorious Action Generator.” My clients get amazing results, they know I care about them and their lives, and say so in their amazing testimonials.

If you would like to know more about my Nagging services, please feel free to contact me.

Best,
Rachel…The NAG

“No way. It would still bug the f*ck out of me.”

Way! I am not working my tail off for you to bug the bleep out of you! I don’t, by the way, ask you “have you done this, have you finished that, have you taken the trash out yet?” I would have to take myself out in back and shoot myself if I asked questions like that!

I check-in with you and see if you were able to do what you wanted to do. If not, we look at the tasks and see how much they really matter to you. Maybe a clean house is not important to your “largest vision for your life” (a larger vision for your life is what I use to help you set your goal to).

Maybe having a spotless house is a vision someone ELSE has for you. If that’s the case, you’ll never likely find it enjoyable or easy to clean cause it’s just not your thing.

I like what FupDuckTV said, I am somewhat like a “Project Manager.” Yes AND I would NEVER say “Did you do this yet? When you gonna do it? Is it done yet? You know we can’t move forward until you complete this. Is it done now?” ..Because, again, I would have to take myself out in back and, well, shoot myself.

I do ask you questions like, “at the end of the day, what would you like to say you have been able to get done?” Then I help you make that happen.

I have lots and lots of comments to make so forgive me in advance cause I gotta set some issues straight and share about others.

I don’t do well in the “drill sergeant” environment.”

First I need to say, good lord, I am no drill sergeant and I’m not your mama. I want you to do what YOU want to do. I want what you want for your life (as long as it’s legal and does not cause harm to yourself or others). I told a client the other day that she’s my Rocky, I want you to feel GREAT at the end of the day, that’s my goal.

Also just like the post so cleverly pointed out. I don’t have that history with you that your friend does. You and I have a business agreement. A call a day to a girlfriend could be an enjoyable thing and could be helpful but my own experience is it does not do for you what paying someone can do for you. Investing in a service like mine has a success rate that I can nearly promise is greater than calling a friend.

I always ask my mother to nag me about things I want to make sure get done (that I know will fall behind). I learned that I could put her natural nagging talents to use for my own benefit. So now she nags me about what I want her to nag me about and not so much what she wants to .

I would never pay someone to nag me though. If mom isn’t available, I set up 3-4 reminders in my Google Calender or Outlook..they work well also and don’t cost me anything.

I don’t think I’ve ever written the word ‘nag’ so many times before.

In the past, I’ve been resistant to family nagging me. It feels judgmental, like they have no confidence in my ability to do tasks, and their “help” is not usually solicited. But if I ASK someone to bug me about getting something done, I feel less resistance or resentment. I used to have friends help me that way in college. Unfortunately, they would be reluctant to really put on pressure because they didn’t want me to feel guilty or shamed into doing things. I think an outsider would be BRILLIANT (especially if you live alone and can’t afford to hire a personal assistant).

I can see how this wouldn’t work for everyone, but I am very open to this concept!

I’m off to check Rachel out now.

Cheers,
Alex

Again, not for everyone, but I need all the motivation I can get, sometimes.

In my previous career I was a legal secretary. One of the attorneys that I worked for begged me to nag him about things he needed to get done all the time….and I was good at it!

It wouldn’t work for me though. Like some others have said, I would wind up defiantly not doing the thing I was being nagged to do and resenting the nagger that I had hired.

I also saw somebody mention getting involved in an accountability group with friends. I am involved in this type of thing and that doesn’t really work either. We all just wind up venting to each other, which helps, but in a different way.

I think you either have to want to be productive or you don’t. If you want it badly enough you will do it. Depending on your personality, hiring a nagger might make you want it badly enough just to get your nagger of your back!

I say good for her for turning an often frowned-upon personality trait into a career!
