My favorite snippet from Carly in this interview..." All the things that, really, truly inspire you get prioritized and procrastination is actually there to help you stay on priority. Which is hysterical because we judge it and we think that we're not supposed to be doing it, but it's taking you off and taking you away from low priority items."
Most entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders have, at some point, felt stuck. Maybe it’s a slowdown in business, an overwhelming to-do list, or just a nagging sense of frustration. Often, we think we’re procrastinating—but what if procrastination isn’t the problem? What if it’s actually a sign pointing us in the right direction?
I sat down with Human Behavior Specialist, Carly Pepin, to talk about procrastination, unrealistic expectations, and why we should stop beating ourselves up for what we’renot doing. Instead, she suggests, we should use procrastination as a tool to better understand what actually drives us.
