35 | Stop Shaming Yourself: Procrastination is a Signpost, Not a Sin

Procrastination isn’t laziness – it’s a signal.
In this special sneak peek from More Zest (my private podcast inside The Productivity Gym®), we’re diving into procrastination with a totally fresh perspective. Instead of beating yourself up for putting things off, what if you treated procrastination as a signpost pointing you to what’s really going on?
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why procrastination is not a time management problem but an emotion regulation problem.
- The 4 hidden signals procrastination might be sending you: fear, misalignment, lack of clarity, or low energy.
- Practical ways to respond – from lowering the stakes with a “bad first draft,” to breaking down vague tasks, to working with your natural energy rhythms.
- How to spot the difference between helpful procrastination (incubation) and harmful procrastination (open loops that drain your energy).
- A simple 3-step process to diagnose your own procrastination and take the right next step.
Remember – procrastination is not a flaw, it’s feedback. Once you decode it, you can move forward with less shame and a whole lot more clarity.
