Procrastination is pretty straightforward.
You dread doing a task.
Your brain goes into this reflex-mode.
Feeling that urgent need to escape that dread.
Driving you to go do something else.
Anything, but that dreaded task.
Result - you are procrastinating.
In this Daily Deposit, we go to the root cause of the dread.
And no - itās NOT the task itself that is dread-full.
Itās not that email, meeting or presentation that are dread-full.
The dread is generated by something that YOU are doing, NOT the task.
And by changing THAT, you can turn off that dread.
So that your brain doesnāt feel that need to escape.
And you get that task done or dealt with.
Just like you said you would. #unstoppable

When we procrastinate, we tend to get mad at ourselves for procrastinating.
We think that getting mad at ourselves will get us back on track.
But the exact opposite is happening.
It increases our brainās desire to procrastinate even more.
In this Daily Deposit Iām giving you a different and counter-intuitive approach.
That uses that moment of procrastination as a tool to uplevel.
To build the skill of following through.
To actually get back on track.
Every single time.
So that following through becomes your new normal.

Tweaking and refining and reshuffling tasks.
Feeling as if we are being productive.
Solving a problem.

Because we are not actually getting any of the tasks done.
We arenāt getting any of the real move-the-needle work started.
And yes, working on the planning might feel good in the moment.
But the truth is - we are only creating very real + tangible problems for ourselves down the road.
Subtly sabotaging ourselves.
Check out this Daily Deposit to understand why you might feel drawn to overplanning.
And what 5 very real problems overplanning is creating.
Plus, Iām giving you a simple but effective tool to not get tricked by that desire to overplan.

Overthinking is a funny thing we do.
Thinking the exact same things through - over and over again.
Somehow believing that thinking about the EXACT SAME things, in the EXACT SAME way, will give us THE answer weāre looking for.
Even though the 999 previous āthought cyclesā did NOT lead to THE answer.
In this Daily Deposit, I explain WHY we do this funny thing.
And how instead of being helpful, overthinking is creating more unintended and unpleasant consequences than you might imagine.
I also give you an easy tool to cut through the overthinking.
So that you can use your time, energy and brainpower to get things done and truly move the needle.
