This Organized Life

Hi Friends! Today on This ORGANIZED Life we are kicking off a series called UNPACKING THE 5 CLUTTER PITFALLS, starting with #1: PROCRASTINATION. Over the next several weeks we'll be taking a deep dive into the 5 key areas that stand in our way of progress:  Procrastination is defined as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite knowing it might have negative consequences. WHY do we feel the need to procrastinate in the first place? Boring (other things you’d rather be doing) Overwhelmed (too many other things going on to focus on the task at hand, or it seems like a mountain) Lack of understanding (uncertainty) HOW do we procrastinate? Busy work (social media, TV, focusing on less important tasks) Pretend it doesn’t exist (shut the door and walk away) Pass the buck (wait or hope for someone else to do it first-think laundry, dishes, etc) WHAT can we do to reduce the urge to procrastinate? Prioritize: Make it an appointment Break it up into manageable chunks (20 min)
