Procrastination is actually the antithesis of productivity. I recently asked in my Unstoppable Action Taking Entrepreneurs, Facebook Group, if the women in there got more done, when they felt like they had plenty of time or when they had a looming deadline. The majority stated they needed a deadline for pressure.
This idea is pervasive. We have this idea that if we put things off until they're due, then the pressure of the deadline is what is going to motivate us to get it done so we can do the thing most efficiently. I'm using air quotes, by the way, around efficiently.
Procrastination is the antithesis of productivity, because what we think is efficiency is really just surface level. What actually happens is it takes more time, energy, cognitive, bandwidth, and space. Procrastination is depleting your brain power.
So if you're onboard, if you're ready to overcome this leaning on procrastination, this trap of procrastination, this episode is for you. I’m going to go over some ways that you can sidestep procrastination and just do the damn thing. Ready? Good, let’s go.
