Why Do We Procrastinate? Here Are Some Tips To Focus


Listen Later

Ever caught yourself doing 10 other things around the office instead of locking in and focusing on the one task or goal you really need to complete? 

In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr Anastasia Hronis and co-host Ashani Dante talk all about that relatable thing of procrastination. Anastasia breaks down what's really going on in the brain when we put things off and why it happens in the first place.

You’ll also learn:

  • The difference between productive and perfectionist procrastination

  • How to adapt your environment to become more productive
  • How to start building more momentum
  • Why it's important to be kind to your inner critic when setting important goals
