Ten Minute Trick Season 1 Ep 3

We all procrastinate sometimes. We know what we need to do, but somehow we end up scrolling, grabbing a snack, organizing something that definitely didn’t need organizing, or simply thinking about the task instead of actually starting it. In this episode of You’ve Got This with Dr. Shirls, we’re talking about what may really be happening when we procrastinate and why it often has less to do with being lazy and more to do with avoiding an uncomfortable feeling. Dr. Shirls introduces “The 10-Minute Trick,” a simple strategy that can make starting feel a whole lot easier. The idea? Give the thing you’ve been avoiding just ten honest minutes. That’s it. When the timer goes off, you can stop. But you might discover that once you get moving, it’s easier to keep going. Because every time you take action, even when you don’t feel like it, you’re building something bigger than momentum. You’re learning that you can count on yourself. Ten minutes. One small start. You’ve got this.
