This really helped me to look at procrastination in a new light and tackle it in small chunks. It also gave me mindful tools to be forgiving to myself and move on to get it done.

That was a cool course, I believe we need more courses like this on insight timer.

Very kind and practical steps to take! There were some new ideas and processes I didn't know before, but I'm already curious on trying those and see how they work out!
Thank you very much for sharing your advice on this! :)

This was the best and most useful course on procrastination that I’ve ever taken here on the app or off. There are skills for motivation, emotion, setbacks, and all around, tackling things that you don’t want to face that need doing. I was able to finally get my house clean , after listening to the program and won’t feel like I’m a failure if I struggle with it again. Great course!
