Good morning, I'm so glad that you made it back.

So in our last session, we discovered the root cause underlining though.

One thing we battle with most on a day over day basis, even hour by hour, if not even

minute by minute basis.

What is it?

Yeah, you remember procrastination.

When we learn procrastination has nothing to do with discipline, work ethic, our character,

purpose, goals, or whether we have a compelling why or not.

And it has nothing to do with what we know to do, which is why the smart people at the

procrastination research group said, quote, procrastination is essentially irrational.

And it doesn't make sense to do something you know is going to have negative consequences.

She adds, but people engage in this irrational cycle of chronic procrastination because

of an inability to manage negative moods and emotions around a task.

So procrastination isn't so much about our ability to manage time, but it's actually

a form of escapism, a way to cope with challenging emotions brought on by a certain task, emotions

like boredom, anxiety, insecurity, frustration, resentment, self doubt, and the like.

It is one of life's great ironies, isn't it?

We procrastinate to avoid negative feelings like stress, but we end up feeling worse like

regret and shame because we procrastinate it.
