I have been procrastinating – Why?

Yamoan – Hello!

I have to own my behaviour for the last week, and the title of the behaviour I own is Procrastination!

I don't know why it happened – it just did. I thought it was time to reflect and see why I was getting in my own way. Why was I slowing myself down?

Why do we avoid doing the things we know we should do, even when it's clear that they are things that will be in our best interest?

All great questions, right?

To analyse why I was procrastinating, I needed to refresh my learning on what the literature has to say on the topic, and I found some great sources of knowledge that I thought I would share with all of you.

Have a look at these:-

Tim Urban – Inside the mind of the master procrastinator I TED (14:04)

James Clear - Two Harvard Professors Reveal One Reason Our Brains Love to Procrastinate

Ash Roy - Paper Clip Strategy for Habit Formation

Great news!

From my reflection and reading - I have been reminded that we are all procrastinators and I have not been as mindful of my procrastination triggers in my environment – fiction books, podcasts, painting – the dark playground!

The Panic monster, in combination with the paper clip strategy, has been the reminder of what I can do to KICK Procrastination to the kerb so I can finish the final edit of my book and get it to the graphic designer.

I hope you enjoy the reading and the TED Talk and it helps you with any Procrastination you may have been doing.

I would love to hear more ideas about beating Procrastination. Let's Talk! https://www.coachedbysue.com.au/

Be the 'The Master of your Destiny'!

We only get this life now – make it the best one for you 😊
