Procrastination - we all know it too well. In this episode of Encouragementology, professional life and recovery coach Kendell Boysen tackles the common struggle with a mix of humour and practical advice. Kendell explains that procrastination isn't about laziness or disorganisation; it's often about avoiding discomfort. Whether it's a tough project or a dreaded conversation, putting things off is something we all do. But why?
Kendell dives into the psychology behind procrastination, linking it to fear of failure, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. You'll learn about the six types of procrastinators, from the perfectionist to the crisis maker, and how to identify which one you might be. Kendell also shares actionable strategies to overcome procrastination, such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting mini deadlines, and practising self-compassion.
She even introduces the concept of the 'scary hour' - dedicating just one hour to the task you've been avoiding. With relatable anecdotes and expert insights, this episode offers a compassionate and supportive approach to tackling procrastination. So grab your to-do list and get ready to turn those 'I'll do it tomorrow' moments into 'Wow, look at me go' achievements.
