You know that burst of excitement when you start something new — and then life happens? The energy fades, motivation slips, and suddenly your big goal starts gathering dust. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to push past procrastination and finally finish what you start. Whether it’s a work project, a fitness goal, or a personal passion you keep putting off, these strategies will help you reignite your focus, cross that finish line. When you leave things unfinished, it chips away at your self-belief. But when you complete what you set out to do, you’re sending a message to your brain that says, “I follow through. I get things done.” 

Try these 3 Strategies today!

1. Reconnect With Your “Why”
When procrastination shows up, it’s usually because your purpose got blurry. I want you to pause and remind yourself why you started. Ask, “What made this important to me?” When you reconnect with your why, you’ll reignite your drive and focus. 

2. Shrink the Task, Not the Dream
Big goals can feel overwhelming — that’s when most people stall out. Instead of trying to tackle everything at once, I want you to shrink it down. Focus on the next 15 minutes, not the next 15 steps. Smaller wins create momentum, and once that momentum builds, procrastination doesn’t stand a chance. 

3. Create Accountability That Works
Let’s be honest — it’s easy to break promises to ourselves, but harder to let someone else down. Tell a friend, colleague, or coach what you’re committing to this week. That one extra layer of accountability can make the difference between “I’ll do it someday” and “I did it.” 

Until next time, this is Dr. Dawn reminding you: you’ve got everything it takes — now it’s time to see it through.
