Letting Go of Procrastination
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | ALL OTHER PLATFORMS
Have you ever started a project that excites you, only to find yourself constantly putting it off? 🙋♀️
That was me last year. I dove into a completely new venture, full of enthusiasm, but every time I set a day to begin, life had other plans. Emails, meetings, and smaller tasks conspired against me, pushing my new project to the back burner.
Weeks passed, and what started as excitement turned into frustration as I watched my deadlines whizz by, untouched. It wasn’t until I reached out for help that I realized I’d fallen deep into the procrastination pit.
Once I recognized what was happening, I finally broke the cycle—and now that I’m in it, the project is so much fun! (It’s still a secret for now, but stay tuned for more soon!)
We all struggle with procrastination, often because of emotional or logistical roadblocks.
Have you ever found yourself delaying tasks, telling yourself you’ll get to them later, only to realize the day has slipped away?
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Today we’re tackling procrastination head-on in the final part of our “Letting Go” series.
