Transcript: Hello, hello!
Today's episode is all about procrastinating.
You know what I'm talking about—you've been putting off a task for a long time, and now that it's staring at you, it feels like the biggest mountain ever.
But guess what? It's not.
You can do this!
You just need to get started. And that's what today's episode is all about: getting started by doing one thing.
We all know how hard it can be to sit down and get work done. But the thing is, we all have a lot of things we want to do in life. And if we don't take care of the stuff we need to do now, we might not have time for the things we WANT to do later.
So today's episode is going to help you stop procrastinating and actually get things done—so that when it comes time to take on new projects or adventures in your life, you'll have the free time and energy to do them justice.
The first thing I want to say is: no judgment!
We've all been there, and we all have our different ways of dealing with it. But I think the most important thing is to start somewhere—anything—and get in the habit of taking action instead of letting yourself get paralyzed by fear or perfectionism.
If you find yourself procrastinating on something big, ask yourself what would happen if this project didn't get done?
What would happen if you never got started?
And then ask yourself how much time it would take to finish it up before that deadline hits.
Then, instead of thinking about how overwhelming it might be to tackle that project right now (because let's be real—it probably will be), just pick one thing from your list that seems like it could be done quickly and easily. Don't try to tackle everything at once; just pick one.
We know you're trying to get a lot of stuff done this week, and we totally get it.
But it's also important to take some time for yourself—and that doesn't mean binge watching Netflix all day.
We're talking about taking some time to do the one thing you've been putting off.
Maybe it's cleaning out your closet or organizing your email inbox or updating your resume.
Whatever it is, take that time today and know that you deserve it! This podcast is brought to you by Revel!
