How to Be an AdultHow to Overcome Procrastination (Ep. 31, with Kate Voss)In this conversational episode, Kate and Luke discuss how to overcome procrastination, based on their personal experience, as well as professional work with hypnotherapy clients.

Self-motivated and productive individuals maximize their available waking hours by prioritizing important tasks and letting go of non-essential ones.
Completing tasks quickly, rather than carrying them as burdens, leads to a ligh...
