Do you find yourself constantly thinking you want to get things done but never actually doing them? Are you the classic procrastinator? If so, you’re going to like this episode.
If you’re like the person who asked this week’s question, you may often procrastinate and then feel bad about it.
In this episode I talk about the probable causes of why people procrastinate and some possible solutions if you’re a procrastinator.
In this episode I talk about:
- [1:22] Six possible reasons people procrastinate
- [3:30] Procrastination and fear
- [4:38] Procrastination and “avoidance behavior”
- [7:32] Procrastination and “delayism”
- [9:16] Stress and procrastination
- [10:50] The “Procrastination Accumulation Effect.”
- [15:26] Emotional management
And, like in every episode, I talk about possible solutions that you can use to change your behaviors and stop procrastinating.
As well, I will talk about the personal “strategy” that I use to beat procrastination.
Transformational Takeaway: Move your attention from what starts your procrastination cycle.
