Why do we keep putting things off — even when they matter deeply to us? In this follow-up episode, psychologist and author Dr Patricia Zurita Ona returns to share the second half of her powerful framework for understanding anxious, overwhelmed, perfectionistic procrastination.
Last week, Dr Patricia introduced the first 3 of 6 reflection questions to help us uncover what’s really driving our procrastination. This week, we continue the conversation with the final 3 — and they’re game-changing.
You’ll learn:
Why we keep making "cozy" feeling-based choices
What “compassionate accountability” looks like (and why it matters)
How to uncover the values you may be ignoring when you procrastinate
What to do next — including how to gently map your own habits and begin making real, sustainable change
This is not about productivity hacks or quick fixes. It’s a beautifully compassionate and practical episode for anyone who wants to stop feeling stuck and start living with more intention and purpose.
🧠Based on Dr Patricia's brilliant new book, The ACT Workbook for the Anxious Procrastinator, available now on Amazon.
