13: How to Stop Procrastinating on Stuff You Care About
Update: 2020-11-25
Description
In this episode, I speak to you from Procrastinationville, where I have settled in for the past several months. Procrastination is cozy, and it's hard to leave. But I have jumped aboard the slow train out of town, and think I can help you recover from any procrastination streak you might have going right now.
I cover some advice that has helped me:
- Start small: It's cliche but true. Think of the most infinitesimal step you could take and try it.
- Be patient: Instead of looking for a life hack, understand that it will likely take time to change your habits. That's OK.
- Open up to friends: Even friends doing something completely different than you can bring a fresh perspective and give you great ideas.
- Forgive yourself: Beating yourself up about "wasting" time will only make it worse. And that time probably wasn't wasted.
Also, I introduce a new segment — First Steps Corner. I talk about the Cheesecake Ninja, a non-baker who started a cheesecake business after seeing a cheesecake that looked tasty on Facebook and giving it a shot.
