Procrastination almost got the better of me last week. My schedule was clear, we were all set to film an online class but suddenly I felt compelled to vacuum. I also decided that my hair wasn’t quite right and my accounting couldn’t possibly wait. When you choose accounting as an avoidance tactic something isn’t right. So what was really going on?
In this episode we take a good hard look at procrastination and self sabotage.
Why we do it, the role that our emotions play and how to turn things around. We share our personal experiences along with a few of our favourite resources on the topic.
You can find the show notes for this episode at https://www.laurahornart.com/thepodcast/56
The show notes include this week's vlog where you can see how I take on procrastination in my own creative practice. Hint, the video includes a painting sesh and an inspiration gathering trip through my local area.
