Overcoming Your Procrastination

Are you constantly chasing your tail and shifting things from one day to the next because you didn't get them done, or are you on top of your priorities and making the progress that you want?

Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Emotional Intelligence Speaker and Trainer of the Year and Sustainable Performance Coach, and today I want to continue our conversation around making sure that in 2021, you get the result that you want by helping you to overcome your procrastination.

Procrastination is one of those funny things where we can joke about it and say, "Look, I was going to procrastinate once, but I never got around to it." However, it's not really a laughing matter. Procrastination is the thief of time. It's the thief of results. It's what holds you back from getting forward and getting the things that you're going after. So instead of just giving you some tips on how to be more productive, I want to step back and I want to take a look at the reason why we procrastinate. One of the main reasons why people procrastinate is that they don't have confidence in themselves to actually be able to achieve the result. Another reason is that they don't even feel like they deserve the result and they know in their subconscious that if they were to get those things done, that it would actually shift the needle, move it towards where they want it to go, and they would have to then step outside that comfort zone, step outside that belief zone, breakthrough that cap, that ceiling that they'd placed on themselves. So therefore, self-sabotage strategies are employed to make sure that that certainly doesn't happen.
