Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, Leo Weston here your daily dose of sober motivation.
Let's talk about something we've all wrestled with at some point. Procrastination.
You know that feeling when you have a task looming
over you, one that just seems daunting. The urge to
put it off until tomorrow or next week is like

(00:22):
an irresistible siren call. But hey, don't beat yourself up.
We're not here to judge, just empower each other to
break free from this procrastination prison. So how do we
conquer this beast and stay motivated? Here are five key
takeaways that have worked for me and hopefully they'll resonate

(00:43):
with you too. First things first, understand your procrastination triggers.
Pro Ever, notice you're more likely to procrastinate on boring
tasks or things that make you feel uncomfortable. That's because
our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain,
so we tend to gravitate towards the fun stuff and

(01:07):
shy away from what feels challenging. Identifying those triggers is
the first step to tackling them head on. Next up,
break down those big, scary tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks.
It's like looking at a mountain way less intimidating if
you focus on conquering one hill at a time, right

(01:30):
instead of staring at that entire research paper, just aim
for writing one paragraph today. Celebrate those mini victories they
add up. Number three. Set realistic goals and deadlines. Don't
try to cram everything into one day or set yourself
up for failure with unrealistic expectations. Be kind to yourself

(01:55):
and set achievable milestones. Remember, progress over perfection is the
aim of the game. Now let's talk about rewards, because
who doesn't love a little self appreciation when you achieve
a goal, no matter how small. Treat yourself, watch an
episode of your favorite show, indulge in a delicious snack,

(02:17):
or go for a walk in nature. Positive reinforcement goes
a long way in keeping you motivated. Finally, and this
is crucial, surround yourself with supportive people who encourage your growth.
Talk to friends, family, or even join online communities where
you can share your struggles and celebrate your wins. Here's

(02:42):
the scenario that might sound familiar. Imagine you're starting a
new project at work. You know it's important, but the
thought of diving in feels overwhelming, you end up scrolling
through social media, checking emails, anything to avoid facing the
task head on. Sound like you, Well, remember those five takeaways.

(03:05):
Break down that project into smaller steps, set realistic deadlines
for each step, and reward yourself along the way, And
don't be afraid to reach out to a colleague or
mentor for support. Sharing the load can make it feel
much lighter. Remember, overcoming procrastination isn't about becoming some superhuman

(03:26):
productivity machine. It's about finding strategies that work for you,
celebrating your wins, and being kind to yourself along the way. So,
