Procrastination...we are all guilty of it at some point. It is usually very frustrating and for some, can be extremely debilitating. When struggling with procrastination, people usually think they need to be harsher with themselves. They try to force or push themselves, get angry with themselves and end up going around in circles : from telling themselves a lot of "should’s" - to doing nothing. So in this episode I discuss - - What underlies and causes procrastination - How to work with yourself vs against yourself - Strategies to be better at getting things done and feeling good about yourself So if you have a tendency to leave things until the last minute, constantly distract yourself, or make excuses to not do something until you can no longer delay it...this episode is for you!
