EP. 12 The 4 Reasons You Procrastinate

As a procrastinator, you’ve probably asked yourself  “Why do I keep procrastinating, even though I know that it’s keeping me from getting the results that I actually want?” 

This is an important question since first understanding why you procrastinate is crucial if you want to stop doing it.

This episode will give you insight into the top 4 reasons why you procrastinate, and will help you work through the confusion and angst that you might be feeling as a self-proclaimed procrastinator. 

As you listen, think about all of the things that you normally procrastinate on and identify which of the following 4 buckets they fit into: 

• Things that you genuinely don't want to do 
• Things that you can't do
• Things that feel completely intolerable
• Things you genuinely want to do, that you can learn to reframe in your mind

EP. 07 Moving Past Procrastination as a Coping Mechanism

Bold claim: All self-proclaimed procrastinators fundamentally crave success and fear failure. There are two catches here: We also fear success…and success is predicated on failure. 

So we’re simultaneously craving and fearing success, while also fearing failure—which leaves us in a bit of a pickle. 

What’s actually happened is that over time, we've developed a series of coping mechanisms with our behavior that protect us. This includes procrastination. 

This episode will help you work through releasing some of these coping mechanisms in order to have more success with your projects.

What’s inside the episode:

• Examples of the most common ways that we use procrastination as a coping mechanism
• How to identify your unique forms of procrastination
• How to completely reframe your relationship to both failure and success

EP. 04 Moving Your Projects from Half-Finished to Done

Thinking about projects that we leave half-finished often evokes feelings of self-judgment, self-criticism, guilt, shame, embarrassment, or other negative emotions.  

I want to introduce you to a different way to approach this. Let’s look at this scientifically. I want you to consider that the difference between a half-finished project and a finished project is just inputs and outputs. When we look at it with the curiosity of a scientist, it removes so much of the emotional heaviness, which helps you change things moving forward. 

Listen in as I break this down into four different inputs and one output that you need to keep procrastination at bay and take your projects from half-finished to done. 

What’s inside the episode:

• The four factors that  create a half-finished or finished projects
• How to apply this framework to your projects 
• The most common reasons that I see projects left half-finished by my clients

The framework mentioned:

• Circumstances
• Thoughts
• Feelings
• Actions
• Results
