Procrastination is universal, even the most disciplined people do it. But here’s the part that really stings: procrastination doesn’t just delay tasks… it steals time away from the things you actually care about.
In today’s lesson, we’re reframing procrastination for what it really is: choosing short-term emotional relief over long-term progress. Which means you’re not avoiding the task, you’re avoiding how the task makes you feel!
Tune in as we break down 3 common reasons procrastination shows up, and what to do about each one in a peacefully productive way (without shame or “just try harder” energy).
In this episode, we cover:
The definition of procrastination that will change how you see yourself
Why your brain treats your future self like a stranger (rude???)
Why “productive procrastination” isn’t better than scrolling, it’s still procrastination!
3 core reasons you procrastinate (and what to do instead)
