Doer: Overcome Procrastination

Lesson six: overcome rationalizations


Listen Later

In this lesson you'll learn to recognize and challenge the unhelpful thoughts that hold you back.

Key ideas:

1️⃣ Rationalizations are justifications we create to avoid tasks and give ourselves permission to procrastinate.

2️⃣ Rationalizations follow a pattern of identifying a truth about the situation and drawing an unhelpful conclusion. Unhelpful conclusions harm us in the long run by deluding us into waiting for a "perfect time" to start a task.

3️⃣ Recognizing and challenging rationalizations is a crucial skill, often used in cognitive-behavioral therapy.

4️⃣ Overcoming rationalizations and making progress on tasks involves three steps: noticing the rationalization, checking the evidence supporting the conclusion, and generating a more helpful alternative conclusion.
