Identifying judgments and tackling tasks
Procrastination is driven by the judgments we make. It's important to identify these judgments and understand the reasons behind them. By breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, we can tackle them with directness and simplicity. Instead of getting overwhelmed by the whole, we focus on taking action in the present moment, avoiding the distractions that come with delaying tasks.
