Have you been putting off that mile long to-do list? Hosts Jessica Reyes and Patricia Wu are joined by strategic business advisor and founder of CYA consulting, Dan Goodwin. Together, they break down Psychology Today’s procrastination tips to help you get started.
Understand the Root Cause of Your Procrastination
When it comes to procrastination, Understanding the root cause of why you’re avoiding a task can help you address it. Take some time to reflect on if it’s the task itself or something more internal.
Break it Down
Breaking a large task into smaller, manageable chunks can make it feel more achievable and less overwhelming. Sometimes distractions overwhelm what needs to be done, so a good first step is limiting what’s getting in the way.
Pair It With Something You Enjoy
Pairing a challenging task with something enjoyable can make it more bearable and even fun. This can be anything from rewarding yourself with a treat at the grocery store to inviting friends over to cook with you or listening to a podcast while you clean. Find what works for you!
