This workshop helps participants understand the specific nature of their procrastination and blocks, and why they may not previously been able to overcome their procrastination problem. It also discusses the key procrastination symptoms of perfectionism, negativity, hypersensitivity and panic. After precisely characterizing the problem, we then move on to discuss three solutions for procrastination: a simple behavioral fix; an eight-step process for defeating fear-based procrastination; and the ultimate solution for living an empowered life. At the end of the workshop, participants typically feel energetic and empowered and eager to go home and make some of the changes we’ve discussed. Many later report making more progress on their work than they have in a long time.
