Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Kelly explains procrastination can stem from various factors such as overwhelm, lack of interest, or organizational challenges. Identifying and addressing these underlying issues is essential in tackling procrastination effectively.
Kelly stresses breaking tasks into smaller components can make them less daunting and more achievable. Starting with one small task can lead to momentum and motivation to continue working on the larger goal.
