Episode 41 - 7 effective ways to beat procrastination and get more done

In this weeks Career Espresso I'm talking about something we can all be guilty of at times, and that's procrastination.We love to procrastinate, putting off those big tasks until we've crossed something much less pressing, but somehow satisfying off our to-do list. We all procrastinate with 88% of us admitting to doing it for at least an hour a day, but why? And how can you stop procrastinating to be more productive? Listen to this episode where I delve deeper into why we procrastinate, common types of procrastinators and also 7 tips for you to implement that will help you stop procrastinating. As always, I end the episode with a coaching question and this week is all about stopping you before you hit that procrastination button.Chapters00:00 Understanding Procrastination: Why We Do It01:55 Types of Procrastinators and Their Approaches03:52 Tips to Overcome Procrastination05:18 The Power of Starting and Short Intervals06:44 Tackling Tough Tasks and Setting Deadlines07:42 Focus and Acceptance: Done is Better Than Perfect08:39 Keeping Your Future Self in Mind09:04 Overcoming Procrastination: Self-Awareness and DisciplineGet a full transcript of the episode hereDownload the podsheet for this episode to explore this topic further hereConnect with meWebsiteLinkedInInstagramSign up for the free Ready to Rise Newsletter hereCheck out the Ready to Rise 2024 Career Planner here How can I support the podcast?→ Subscribe→ Share this episode with a friend or on your socials→ Leave a reviewI would love to hear your feedback on my podcast.
