"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's fun until you get the bill." --Christopher Parker

Are you like me and always saying that you don’t need more time, you just need a deadline? Are you always intending to do something, but can’t bring yourself to do it? Are you beating yourself up thinking you are lazy because you can’t get things done?

Stop right there.
You are not lazy.
You are not broken.
You are procrastinating and we all do it.

We procrastinate when we are trying to avoid things that are uncomfortable. We put off tasks when we don’t have all the answers, when it requires us to do new things that are unfamiliar. We put off what’s hard. It’s natural. We are built for survival. In this episode I break down why we procrastinate…like why I put off recording this episode on procrastination for two weeks. And I give you 5 tips on getting to the other side of procrastination. So let’s go!
