Our January 2022 Event. Juliet Landau-Pope: I’ll Do It Tomorrow. How to Overcome Procrastination

Productivity coach Juliet Landau-Pope joined us on Thursday 17th January to talk about procrastination and to share some practical strategies and motivational tips to kickstart us all into action.

Juliet started with a simple yes/no question: Do you procrastinate?

No surprises in the chatbox: everyone but one person answered with a clear and resounding yes.

Juliet reassured us:

Procrastination is not a personality trait. It’s a behaviour that can become habitual.

She talked about the cycle of inaction and how we can overcome it.

She then shared some really practical tips that can help us when we find ourselves avoiding important tasks or struggling to complete them.

We had a discussion on the connection between time management and procrastination. As Juliet explained:

There’s no such thing as time management. It’s self-management.

As part of the Q&A, we talked about the difference between procrastination and prioritising, whether specific conditions (e.g. ADHD) can make the tendency to procrastinate worse, and we discussed what we can do when we find ourselves with an endless list of to-dos that just never seem to end.

In the chatbox, we shared book tips, podcast recommendations, and words of encouragement.

Thanks for everyone’s active participation and the great comments and questions. We’ll be back again in February.
