This is NOT Your Life on 4/29: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/noise/

Procrastination isn’t just about laziness—it’s often rooted in fear of failure, perfectionism, or avoiding discomfort. In this episode, I break down why we procrastinate, how it holds us back, and what we can do to overcome it. I share personal experiences, practical strategies, and mindset shifts to help you take action, even when it feels scary. From breaking tasks into small steps to managing time more effectively, I cover simple ways to stop delaying and start doing. The bottomline is, procrastination is normal, but it is most definitely not a habit you want to continue to enforce.

Key Takeaways:

  • Procrastination is often rooted in fear of failure, perfectionism, or avoiding discomfort, not laziness.
  • Identifying why you’re procrastinating is the first step to overcoming it.
  • Hidden ways you procrastinate that you don’t even realize you’re doing – life events
  • Decreasing your procrastination increases your self-confidence in your ability to do hard things
  • Feeling organized with your time helps you stay on top of your tasks (even the ones you don’t want to do)
