Episode Synopsis

Cindy Esliger addresses the topic of procrastination and the obstacles that keep us from taking action. Procrastination can sometimes be around waiting for the perfect time to start, a form of perfectionism, and Cindy offers advice on how to move past that to achieve our goals.Procrastination doesn’t mean we are lazy or have bad time management. It’s more about coping with how we feel about certain tasks. It can be caused by stress. In order to start a task, we need a strategy, especially if it’s a task that bores or overwhelms us. Cindy has three tips for overcoming procrastination by taking action. 1. Break things down, 2. Embrace imperfection, and 3. Take that first step.There is value in breaking the overall goal into smaller steps so it’s not so overwhelming. If we can simply tackle one small step at a time, we achieve the forward momentum we need. Cindy shares four steps for creating an achievable action plan: 1. Start with the end goal in mind, 2. Ensure each step is clear and doable, 3. Set deadlines and milestones, and 4. Review and adjust the plan as needed. Cindy’s advice helps break down procrastination into something manageable that can help spur us on to achieving our goals. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Overcoming ProcrastinationAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
