In today’s episode, I unpack WHY we procrastinate and what to do about it. I get extra vulnerable with you as I share the nitty gritty of my lifelong struggle with procrastination. I share a few things I’ve done over the past year to gain self awareness around why procrastination is my default and tools that have made my life easier and set me up for success. If you tend to push things off until the last minute, I’m sure that you can relate to the embarrassing stories I share and find a trick or two that will be helpful in your own journey.
In this episode, we cover:
- Uncovering why we procrastinate and the types of things we are most likely to procrastinate doing
- The 5 things that have helped me combat procrastination
- The importance of self-compassion and grace as we grow through this
