Research shows this cuts procrastination by 50%. - **CBT Technique #3: Build Self-Efficacy**: Track small wins (e.g., finishing a crypto course) and share them with a community to boost confidence. Studies show self-efficacy predicts success in beating procrastination. **Takeaways**: - Reframe negative thoughts to make tasks feel achievable and reduce anxiety. - Start with small, actionable steps to build momentum toward big goals. - Celebrate and share every win to reinforce your belief in your abilities. - Join a community (like Billy Goat Tales or a crypto group on X) to stay accountable and motivated.
