Episode 2: How to Stop Procrastinating

The truth about procrastination: self-confessed productivity junkies might come charging into your biz, blabbering about color-coded calendars, time blocking, and making appointments with yourself like it's the holy grail. But let's face it, when push comes to shove, that well-planned time block is as flexible as a contortionist doing yoga on a rollercoaster. You move it once, you move it again and then you just… dismiss it altogether.

We can preach till the cows come home about the importance of scheduling, resting, exercising, and sleeping, but if your heart ain't in it, your brain will gladly lead you down the rabbit hole of distraction.

And when it comes to anything vaguely uncomfortable, your brain, bless its survival instincts, will pull out all the stops to divert you toward those familiar, cosy activities. Need to work on your online course but have no clue where to start? Your brain’ll throw a tantrum and redirect you to a Netflix binge. Trying to write captivating website copy but despise writing? Your brain will have you organising your sock drawer instead. Your brain is both a super power and a cunning master of avoidance, I tell ya.

In this episode of Let’s Talk About Time, we’re diving in to something literally every single solo business owner battles with at some point: procrastination, and what you can do to ditch it – for good.
