In this weeks Career Espresso I'm talking about something we can all be guilty of at times, and that's procrastination.
We love to procrastinate, putting off those big tasks until we've crossed something much less pressing, but somehow satisfying off our to-do list. We all procrastinate with 88% of us admitting to doing it for at least an hour a day, but why? And how can you stop procrastinating to be more productive?
Listen to this episode where I delve deeper into why we procrastinate, common types of procrastinators and also 7 tips for you to implement that will help you stop procrastinating.
As always, I end the episode with a coaching question and this week is all about stopping you before you hit that procrastination button.
