this episode of The Scribe Vibe with Janae, we tackle one of the most common challenges writers and creatives face: procrastination. Janae dives deep into the psychology behind procrastination, exploring different types like avoiders, optimists, perfectionists, and busy procrastinators. She discusses the personal, professional, and mental health consequences of putting things off and shares actionable strategies to overcome this productivity killer.

Listeners will learn practical techniques such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, using the Pomodoro Technique, and implementing reward systems to stay motivated. Janae also emphasizes the importance of mindset shifts, including challenging negative self-talk, developing a growth mindset, and practicing self-compassion.

To wrap up the discussion, Janae introduces a range of tools and apps designed to help you manage your time, track productivity, and maintain focus. She also highlights the significance of building long-term habits like creating routines, setting realistic goals, and finding accountability partners.

In the second half of the episode, Janae shifts gears to interview herself about her thriller novel, Roux the Day. Set during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the novel follows hitwoman Charli Babineaux as she uncovers a chilling conspiracy tied to her family's dark past. Janae shares the inspiration behind the story, the challenges of writing such a complex plot, and what readers can expect in future installments.
