Hello LinkedIn Community,
Welcome to another edition of Crafting Business Mindsets, where we transform overwhelm into ownership.
Today, we dive into a topic that often goes unnoticed but affects many of us: Procrastination.
This newsletter will help you understand the concept, identify if you are a procrastinator, and provide practical tips to manage it.
1. What is Procrastination?
Procrastination is the tendency to delay tasks, often until the last minute, which can lead to unnecessary stress and suboptimal results. Imagine being at an airport, waiting until the last minute to head to the gate, causing a rush and potential panic. This is procrastination in action.
2. Why Do People Procrastinate?
3. The Downside of Procrastination
4. Identifying Procrastination Tendencies
Ask yourself:
If you answered yes, you might have procrastinating tendencies.
5. Strategies to Manage Procrastination
6. Embrace Balance
Achieving a balance between procrastination and precrastination is key.
Effective planning and prioritisation can help you avoid the pitfalls of both extremes. Remember, starting tasks in a timely manner and not rushing them is crucial.
Is time to plant a fresh seeds into your business and mindset?

5 个月Great post Dan. I find breaking big tasks into smaller steps and organising them by what will make a difference and what not is helpful, just like you said. I still get in my own way though. ??
