The Kindness Extremist with Shola Richards

Stop Putting It Off: 3 Strategies to Finally Overcome Procrastination


Listen Later

We’ve all done it: Delayed the project, avoided the conversation, or pushed off the doctor’s appointment. But what if procrastination isn’t about laziness at all? In this episode, host Shola Richards breaks down the surprising science behind why we put things off and how kindness can become the ultimate cure.

 

You’ll learn:

  • Why procrastination is really an emotion regulation problem, not a time management one
  • The four emotional triggers that fuel delay, and how to recognize them in real time
  • 3 evidence-based strategies to finally move forward
  • A mindset shift that turns self-discipline into self-kindness 

 

This conversation will leave you rethinking how you work, rest, and care for yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, this episode offers a compassionate path back to progress.
