Hello and

welcome to practicing human. This is the podcast where every day we are

practicing getting a little better at life. I am your host

Cori Muscar, and in today's episode we're going to be talking about how to overcome

procrastination. More to come on that in a moment, but first let's settle in with the sound of the bells. Okay, procrastination. None of us like it, but all of us do it. In fact, I had a healthy dose

of procrastination this morning.

I woke up nice and early, had a bunch of emails

to take care of when you're going through your inbox

and there are the easy emails that you could do that give you a little sense of

satisfaction to quickly check off the list but then you come to another email and you're

like that's going to take too long to respond to.

I'll get to that later.

Well, I am the king of that.

And often what happens is those emails build up

over the course of days and sadly sometimes the course of weeks and eventually they are all just sitting there staring at me waiting to be made unread. So this morning I made it my task to take care of those.

Woke up nice and early, went to a coffee shop and opened up the inbox. And of course there were some other emails there first

so took care of those to give myself a nice little dose of accomplishment and eventually got to the ones that really needed my attention.

I looked at the first one, I was like, okay, I'll do that a little bit afterwards.

I went to another one and I said now that's a little too long let me start with this one so I did that one got through it took about it was like seven or eight minutes you know these are those kinds of emails the ones that take a long response. And took a deep breath after that.

Went to another one and said, too much.

Before I knew it, I was on Facebook.

I don't know how I got to Facebook. but I got there and I said oh shouldn't be on
