Do you ever find yourself endlessly planning, tweaking, or rewriting, all in the name of “getting it right”? Maybe you’ve been stuck in a cycle of procrastination and perfectionism, waiting for the perfect moment, perfect conditions, or perfect tools to finally start. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And today’s episode of the Minute Mastery Podcast is here to help.

I recently sat down with Kareen Aristide, an expert who has spent years helping people overcome procrastination and perfectionism. She shared how these habits often stem from deeper fears, self-doubt, and the pressure to produce flawless results. Over time, Kareen has developed strategies that empower individuals to take action, even when things aren’t perfect, and regain balance in their work and personal lives.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The myths around procrastination and perfectionism
• How fear and self-doubt contribute to stalled progress
• Why procrastination isn’t laziness and how to distinguish rest from avoidance
• The toxic duo: how perfectionism and procrastination feed off each other
• Practical tools and small shifts to take action without overthinking
• How to prioritize your time and protect it from distractions
