Please note that this workshop is being offered as an additional add-on to the conference. It costs $12 to register (for both parts).

This workshop begins by precisely characterizing the nature of, and circumstances that often surround, procrastination. We define procrastination, and then discuss how people often mistakenly link it to laziness, immaturity, lack of willpower, lack of commitment, and other perceived personality or behavioral flaws, thereby mischaracterizing it and adding a burden of shame and despair. Then we explore the true nature of procrastination, including common mindsets and behaviors that support it, such as perfectionism and negativity, as well as media and other societal influences that encourage it. Finally, we discuss solutions that really work! Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and insights, and the workshop leader will share concrete advice and strategies.
