10 | Procrastination | Stop Shaming Yourself - It’s a Signpost, Not a Sin


Listen Later

Procrastination gets a bad rap. We call it laziness or lack of willpower, but the truth? It’s not a time problem - it’s an emotion regulation problem.

In this episode of More Zest, I invite you to change how you speak to yourself about procrastination. Instead of shaming yourself for procrastinating, let’s decode the signal behind it.

You’ll discover:

  • Why procrastination is your brain managing feelings, not your calendar.
  • The 4 big signals hiding inside procrastination: fear, misalignment, lack of clarity, and low energy.
  • How to “read the signal” so you know whether to lower the stakes, break it down, delegate, or simply rest.
  • The difference between helpful procrastination (incubation) vs harmful procrastination (avoidance + guilt).

💡 Pair this episode with Productivity with Zest Episode 5 (Procrastination Unpacked) for the ultimate toolkit + mindset shift combo.
