Putting things off to the last minute? Having a hard time starting a project? Or is it hard to finish and actually put a close to something you are working on? This workshop is here to help you procrastinate less and get more done. Contrary to what most people think, procrastination is not fundamentally a time management problem, which is why just trying to manage your schedule better is limited in changing this behavior pattern.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • about the factors that drive and maintain procrastination
  • about the psychology of avoidance
  • how to stay on your own side and not get stuck in self-criticism
  • effective, concrete strategies to help you put a major dent in procrastination patterns.
