Procrastination - Is it a superpower or a curse?

Procrastination is something that trips up almost every single person at some point in their lives, because after all, we are only human. Whether it's getting started on something at work or in your business, or perhaps it's a task in your personal life that you've been putting off for weeks on end, it can happen to us all.

In this episode of A Cup of Something Lovely, Laura tackles all things procrastination, specifically in the context of entrepreneurship. She talks through some of her own experiences over the years, in her corporate career and in her business, along with sharing some hints and tricks on overcoming this.

Then, towards the end of the episode, she shares an alternative perspective that actually paints procrastination in a far more positive light, along with celebrating the release of our Task Management Toolkit, which has been specifically designed to support your levels of productivity and focus.

Now, operating out of a place of, like, resentment and self loathing, it's not going to help anybody. So, what I would say is, when it comes to procrastination as a kind of habit, if this is something that has really tripped you up over the years and over the last few months, then, like, forgive yourself for it. The more likely it becomes that you'll actually be able to get over your current procrastination and take action as if you can, like, forgive yourself for the actions that you may have taken historically. And that, as I say, that self compassion, that self care, like, we have to create empathetic environments within our businesses.
