Procrastination is something all of us have struggled with at one point or another. For me, lately, I’ve found dualities in my ability to put off tasks that I not only don’t want to do, but also enjoy doing. It’s an odd concept, as the things we love should never feel like a burden or something that has to be done, but finding a balance in our ever-changing and busy lives is often hard to do.  

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing a few tips that have helped me organize my schedule in a way that is more efficient and conducive to completing my errands on time, why stress is no longer a motivator in my life in the way that it used to be, and the ways in which our ‘survival brain’ operates to keep us safe from discomfort.
