𝗗𝗿. 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗣𝗵𝗗: “Optimism isn’t about waking up all happy and excited for the day. That’s not always something you can control. What you can control is writing down a plan. Rather than entering it on your computer, write it out on paper. There's a difference neurologically when we write things down. So write out the steps of your plan and put them on your desk, your refrigerator, your bedpost, etc. and get it done. Take action and make it happen. You can also set up timers and reminders on your phone or computer. When you take the time to plan, your whole outlook changes. You feel better. Your whole body feels different.

By the time I was an adult, I had become an expert in procrastination. It wasn’t as if I had put potholes in front of myself, it was more like giant boulders. Over time I learned to get up in the morning and do the stuff I didn't want to do.

I now help people break their procrastinate cycle.

When you plan and follow the steps, it naturally releases negativity. Connect your plan with a more positive outlook and you will be able to move forward faster.”
