Every one of us struggles with procrastination. Whether it's with work, or the exercise we're supposed to do, or the conversation in a relationship we keep avoiding. Procrastination is our brain's way of avoiding a perceived pain – and once you understand what's happening, and the six steps you need to beat it, it can be a game changer.
