If you have ever procrastinated (hello, everyone!) then you will know that it can lead you feeling even worse than if you had just done the task in the first place! Why do we do this to ourselves?!
You are not a procrastinator, and you are not lazy. In this episode, I explain that procrastination is a behaviour, and that this behaviour can be changed.
I’m going to take you through evidence-based tips so you can really understand why you procrastinate on a certain task, and what you can do about it.
Kick procrastination to the curb and start crafting the life of your dreams!
