How To Move Through Procrastination With One Simple Practice

When we procrastinate it usually feels good in the moment. We get to do something we want instead and we don't have y meet any obligation.

Over time though this habit of procrastination adds greatly to our existing stress load - sitting heavily on our shoulders and dragging us down. this course begins with the recognition of the cost of procrastination before exploring two evidence-based resources, namely the Pomodoro Time Management Technique and the Practice Of Self Compassion as the key to letting go of this old habit energy. Lesson two introduces the practice that integrated these two resources as the foundational practice for changing your relationship with procrastination as you forge new neural pathways and find your way out of this crippling stuck-ness. Lesson three then gives you three golden guidelines to easily integrate the learning from this course into your everyday.

Lección 1: Understanding Procrastination

Often we think of procrastination as a personal failing, - my laziness, my lack of discipline, my stupidity. Sometimes we think of procrastination as something shameful, a habit to be hidden and we put a lot of energy into trying to force ourselves to be different. In this lesson, we learn that we can let go of all of that baggage as we understand procrastination as simply our old brain response to carrying too much stress. With this insight from neuroscience, we are free then to unhook from this old habit energy, and to connect with the newer part of our brain - the pre-frontal cortex - where we can forge new neural pathways and so free ourselves from this heavy unhelpful stress burden.

Lección 2: The Practice

This is a simple, evidence-based way to not only recognize the negative impact of procrastination but also to unhook from this embedded habit energy and to begin to forge new neural pathways - finding your way out of this old brain stress response.

Lección 3: The Three Golden Guidelines

In this short lesson, I want to cheer you on and support you to benefit from this course, by finding your way to bring the practice into your life, so that step by step you let go of procrastination and build your well-being and resilience with small intentional actions taken with lots of self-compassion.

Reviews

Even though I already know what was presented in this course, your manner and style of presenting the information is very effective and inspiring. I appreciate and need the reminding to do the practice! Because, similar to the clutter that accumulates in my brain, home & work, forgetting to stick with the method begins insidiously until all those lapses have built up into problematic procrastination! Thank you for inspiring and motivating me 🥰

Love that this course is here and available to come back to. I’ve often returned to day 2 when I feel stuck. It has ALWAYS worked to moved me through a task and the emotion of it.
So grateful

Clear, actionable steps backed by evidence.
I shall return to this again and again.
Thank you Dee

Really helpful course. I will be practicing small tasks and self compassion but also will join in the live sessions to keep this as a learning and positive new tool.

The Pomodoro practice has shown itself to me twice this week! DO IT ….. seems to be my lesson!

Potentially one of the most life changing courses here.
If it’s something that might resonate with you too, make sure you listen to all of the crucial third lesson.

I’ve put this course into practice immediately, and already seeing changes.
Thankyou Dee. Clear, concise, effective and evidence based. Great course.

Short & sweet 🙏 there is a kind of magic in the mind that occurs when I schedule a task that I've procrastinated on for too long. It's energizing and lightens my heart. Thanks Dee for this encouraging and supportive mini course💗

This is a powerful, to-the-point course with easy to apply steps. Great information!

I have referred to myself a "lifelong procrastinator," but long to define myself differently. This course is helping me do that. I am so grateful for your straightforward, evidence-based and supportive pointers that take the judgment out of the act of procrastination. Little by little (schedule one small task) and with self compassion, I can begin to realize and believe that I have the capability and capacity to accomplish these mundane life tasks, that add up to resilience and positive self-esteem.

Such a beautiful course and Dee is such a compassionate guide.

Thoughtful course in an age old issue for some of us. Three days of focus that helped put things in perspective and helped me move into a more peaceful and productive approach to daily tasks

So simple but great practical steps . I’ve got my 25 minute timer ready 😊

I will definitely return to this. Thank you for this gentle introduction. 🙏🏽

What an amazing course, Dee. I’ve struggled with procrastination based on fear all my life and am so happy that I now have a technique I can use to overcome it. I love the way you explained it all in such a clear and compassionate way and am scheduling to do my first small thing, that I have put off for two weeks, tomorrow. Many thanks. 🌺

I hadn't previously heard of the pomodoro method of time management. I really appreciate Dee's approach. Thank you!

Thanks! I'm going to work this in to my schedule for sure.

Dee offers a simple practice that can make a huge difference.

I’ve certainly been enlightened! Now I understand that my messiness has to do with stress. I do have more compassion for myself in this regard! Thank you!

Very helpful course that got me unstuck and moving forward again. Encouraging and scientific.

Very simple, yet helpful instruction.
It DOES help that I’ve been struggling with this issue for the majority of my life, so this is not the first time I am hearing much of this wisdom. 😊
But, I ALWAYS appreciate the encouragement❣️
