Breaking the Cycle: Understanding and Overcoming Procrastination for Busy Working Women


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like your to-do list is a mountain you can’t seem to climb, not because you don’t want to, but something invisible holds you back? Have you ever found yourself polishing a task to absolute perfection, only to realize you’ve run out of time for everything else? Or perhaps, you’ve felt the heavy burden of trying to balance work deadlines with home responsibilities, feeling like you’re being pulled in a million directions, yet finding yourself stuck in place?

And how often have you told yourself, "I work better under pressure," as a way to justify pushing tasks off until the eleventh hour? Ever wonder why that sense of overwhelm doesn’t just propel you into action but instead leaves you paralyzed, scrolling through your phone, seeking refuge in the most mundane distractions?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Today, we’re exploring the intricate dance between procrastination, perfectionism, the double burden of work and home responsibilities, and yes, the intriguing ways Parkinson's Law plays into our daily lives. More importantly, we’re not just unpacking the challenges; we’re laying out practical, actionable strategies to help you break the cycle.
