COURSE
How To Move Through Procrastination With One Simple Practice
With Dee Hennessy
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.

Very good suggestions. I really like the scheduling of tasks...setting aside a specific time to focus on one task. I think by doing this, it will also help with motivation.

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

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.

I actually started this months ago, but I then started several other courses and there’s been too much going on to even be bothered with this app (I know right!). I’ll listen again and write it down because I don’t often understand or retain verbal instructions. I’ll give it a go but the thought of only having 25 minutes to do something gives me anxiety! Do I set a timer for the brain break as well because often that will turn into a whole day of YouTube videos or window shopping? Yes my problems with procrastination and distraction are chronic. I created a new “do three things today” list a few weeks ago which is now 10 items long and it’s just become yet another backlog. Nothing works….with paperless app I just move things from one list to another, Phone reminders, year planner, week planner on fridge, paper sheet per day planner, 5 second journal was a joke because I couldn’t do it every day and I’d then sit for hours trying to remember what I did four days ago! Finch app the bird would’ve died had it been real…. Never tried Pomodoro, but I’ll give it a go!

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.

Sometimes the simplest messages are the most effective. They make us feel empowered to take hold of our difficulties and deal with them. I've never before seen a course on procrastination.. So this is particularly valuable advice. Thank you Dee 🌸 🙏
