Hey, everyone, welcome back to the podcast. This is Alby. I'm the producer of the Dr. Cloud

show. Thanks so much for joining us today. In this highlight from the show, Dr. Cloud talks about how and why we procrastinate, gives us some deceptively simple ways to address it. It starts with shrinking the task.

Because the things we're putting off doing are always overwhelming in some way, the key is in

breaking it down to one simple thing you can do. It's not that you lack the ability to do the thing

you're avoiding. It's just that you aren't moving. Your emergency break is engaged. Get that parking break off, pop that tiny hole in the balloon, start the leak in that task,

and you're off and running.

I'd like to take a brief moment here to talk about our upcoming workshop with Dr. Cloud.

It's on Healing Parental Wounds.

It's coming up on October 17th at 5 p.m. Pacific.

In this two-hour workshop, Dr. Cloud is going to help you identify your parental relationship injuries,

understand how to face them, and give you the practical tools and advice you need to grow past your suffering.

If you can't attend live, you can still sign up and watch at a time that's convenient

for you.

And last, we've got a free week of coaching videos from Dr. Cloud.

No strings attached.

That's Boundaries.me forward slash coach. All right. Enough of these interruptions. Let's get to Dr. Cloud giving you some helpful advice.

I just can't think of a time that has ever happened that I've suggested this.

And the person didn't come back and say, gosh, it really, really helped or something like that.
