How to stop procrastinating!

from The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed · host Mary Ito

Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, Margaret Atwood, even the Dalai Lama – they all had something in common.  Procrastination.  Surprising right?  Because they all had such impressive achievements.  But procrastination is common - maybe so common that we take it for granted.  But there could be a stiff price to pay when you put off studying for that exam, getting your car checked, leaving a project to the last minute.. even worse, delay seeing your doctor.   And there’s not only a personal cost to procrastination but there can be a larger social and economic cost as well.  Find out how to get to that task or job and get it done from an expert on procrastination.  GUEST INFO:Piers Steel is a Professor and Brookfield Management Chair with the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary.  https://profiles.ucalgary.ca/piers-david-gareth-steelHe’s also the author of “The Procrastination Equation:  How to stop putting things off and start getting stuff done.”https://www.amazon.com/Procrastination-Equation-Putting-Things-Getting-ebook/dp/B003ZSHUP2?ref_=ast_author_mpbWe’d really appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast and subscribe and follow us on social @CRAMideas.  Support the CRAM Podcast!Research shapes our lives, yet so much of it doesn’t reach the public.
