Doing the research.

Writing papers.

Doing admin work

What Others Are Saying About Us

  • “Martin has supported my journey to become a professional football coach. Whenever I felt stuck, I could rely on Martin’s fresh outlook and deep analytical skills. He has helped me focus on the things that mattered most in that specific moment, and his consistent effort to ensure that I follow up. By rightfully recognising and highlighting the most impactful course of action, I could rely on his advice and make significant progress on my journey to success.”

    Lukas Hosala, UEFA A Football Coach

  • "I was at the brink of having a breakdown with the pressures of an MSc degree after 5 years of an education pause. It was tough to keep a focused mind. Especially since I was smart but didn't have a hard-working bone in me. But with the right coaching I realised that almost everyone goes through these problems when completing tasks or work that last over longer or shorter periods. I found that the key is to have an organised mind which knows its motivation points as well as limits. Cut to 4 years later. I am an experienced professional in the field of Energy and am making regular progress in my roles by achieving results. I don't think this would have been possible without the right coaching. I am sorry for the people who are unaware of the benefits with Microhabitology, as, it literally was, the key for me to succeed."

    Wassam Romi, Energy Systems Engineer, SMS PLC

  • "During my undergraduate years, I had lost all motivation and confidence due to the overwhelming demands of my studies and external pressures. Zainab was instrumental in pulling me out of this rut. Her unwavering support and encouragement helped me believe in my capabilities once again. She provided practical advice on time management and offered a listening ear when I needed it most. Thanks to her guidance, I regained my confidence and re-engaged with my academic pursuits. Now, as a master's student, I can attribute much of my success to Zainab's invaluable help and motivation."

    Rumaysa Shakeel, Interior Designer, Montclaire State University, New Jersey

  • "Through the first semester I was struggling with managing time to maintain a balance between my personal life and the PhD workload. The main problem was procrastination and anxiety but I heard about MicroHabitology and just in a few sessions they helped me with certain abilities to get better in the day to day tasks from the PhD and that led me to have a better structure to avoid a lot of episodes of procrastination. Like everything, it’s a work in progress but if you have the idea of getting better I'm sure that MicroHabitology will give you the most important tools to manage several aspects of the PhD process. Thanks to the MicroHabitology team I can reduce the procrastination episodes to at least 50% but that also is an everyday work with the tools they gave me."

    Javier Torres Farías, PhD in Medical Sciences, Chile

  • "I was struggling with procrastination and poor time management. Talking through my challenges with Martin was eye-opening. I became more aware of my time management issues and was motivated to improve. I implemented several strategies. These changes have freed up more time for me to tackle key issues, such as manuscript writing, that I had been struggling with. In the 11 days since my first chat with Martin, I've become more aware of my time and how to safeguard it. I've gained back 1 hour and 30 minutes each day, feeling more organized and less panicked. I also appreciate the fact that the service is tailored to meet individual needs and not one formula fits all. While I haven't achieved everything I set out to, I believe I'm taking steps in the right direction."

    Doty Ojwach, Research Fellow

  • "I was feeling really overwhelmed in the early stages of my entrepreneurial journey before my coaching sessions with Martin. I often found myself getting stuck in analysis paralysis when approaching work tasks often second guessing if I was working on the right tasks to help me reach my long-term goals. This left me feeling like I hadn't moved forwards at the end of each week. Martin helped unravel me in ways I did not know I needed unravelling by carefully listening to my unique experiences. Now I feel so much more confident in reaching my business goals. I am more focussed and I feel accomplished at the end of the week and I have already had some breakthroughs in reaching business milestones. My goals now feel so much closer. And I'm able to prioritise rest and recovery time too - something I struggled to do before. I am very grateful to Martin's thoughtful, personalised and pragmatic approach in helping me see a path forwards that I couldn't have seen my own."
