What If the Thing Holding You
Back Wasn’t Time… But Friction?
You’re ambitious. You’re talented. You’ve got ideas. Big ones.
So why do certain projects—especially the ones that matter—stay stuck?
Not because you’re lazy. Not because you don’t care.
But because of something far more common (and sneakier): friction.
Friction is the invisible drag that slows your momentum, drains your focus, and makes even small tasks feel insurmountable.
It’s the root cause behind procrastination, burnout, option paralysis, and that chronic sense of “I should be further along by now.”
Welcome to What’s Your Boulder?™—a friction-free approach to finally moving the work, projects, and ideas that keep weighing you down.
Created by Sharon Schanzer, this practice offers a new lens, a real strategy, and a surprising sense of relief for people who are done circling the hard thing—and ready to move it.
This Isn’t Another Productivity System. In fact, it’s the opposite.
This work isn’t about squeezing more into your calendar, hacking your morning routine, or color-coding your chaos.
It’s about identifying the boulder—that heavy, nagging task or decision that clogs your mental bandwidth—and learning how to move it with less effort, fewer false starts, and zero guilt.
Once you move your boulder, everything else flows more easily.
You don’t need a new planner. You need a shift in mindset.
Who This Is For:
- Entrepreneurs sitting on brilliant ideas that never get launched
- Executives who feel surrounded by chaos and indecision
- Creatives who’ve burned out trying to perfect everything before they begin
- Teams that are capable—but tangled up in process, politics, or paralysis
- Anyone who’s tired of feeling stuck and is ready for motion, not motivation
This practice meets you where you are—and gives you the tools to get where you’re going. With less stress. More ease. And a deeply satisfying sense of “finally.”
How It Works:
We work together to:
- Name your boulder
- Lower the friction around it
- Identify the smallest next step
- Build natural momentum that sticks
We’ll use tools like micro-decisions, mental friction audits, accountability structures, and simple mindset resets that sound easy—and turn out to be profound.
But this isn’t a checklist. It’s a shift.
