Narrator (You):
"So here’s the truth: Procras na on isn’t about laziness. It’s about emo on regula on. When we
face tasks that feel overwhelming or anxiety-inducing, our brain perceives them as a threat. Instead
of tackling the task, it seeks instant relief through distrac ons—whether that’s checking social
media, watching Ne lix, or doing something less urgent.

This avoidance tac c works temporarily, but in the long run, it builds up guilt, stress, and self-doubt.
The real reason we procras nate is that we’re afraid of discomfort—and our brain is just trying to
protect us from that discomfort. But the more we avoid, the worse it gets, crea ng a con nuous
cycle of procras na on and guilt."

Narrator (You):
"Now that we understand why we procras nate, let's break the cycle and stop it for good. Here are
four powerful strategies you can start using TODAY to kill procras na on.

1. The 10-Second Rule

"Ever thought about doing something and then immediately overthought it? That’s procrastination
at work! Here’s the secret: The 10-Second Rule. As soon as you think of something you need to do,
take action within 10 seconds—otherwise, your brain will jump in with excuses, overthinking, and
eventually lead you to avoid the task altogether.

If you hesitate, your mind will start making excuses like, ‘It’s too hard,’ or ‘I’m too tired,’ or ‘I’ll do it
later.’ But if you act fast—in the first 10 seconds—you short-circuit that cycle of overthinking and
get started before your brain can talk you out of it."

starting a project) without hesitation.

2. Break Tasks into Small Chunks

"Big tasks feel like mountains, right? But here’s the secret: Mountains are just a collec on of small
rocks. Break down your big project into smaller, manageable chunks. For example, instead of thinking
about a 50-page Chapter, think about comple ng one topic at a me.

You’ll be amazed at how much more focused you become when you have clear, small yet effec ve
goals to hit."

3. Reframe Perfec onism – Aim for ‘Good Enough’

"Here’s the real kicker: Perfec onism is the enemy of progress. We procras nate because we’re
afraid that what we do won’t be perfect. But here’s the truth: Comple on is be er than perfec on.
Perfec on is subjec ve and o en una ainable. The goal is to make progress, not perfec on.

Instead of thinking, ‘I have to make this flawless,’ ask yourself, ‘What’s the next step I can take to
move forward?’"

4. Reframe Your Thoughts with Self-Compassion

“Now, Let’s talk about the game changing concept: your inner voice. We all have that
judgemental voice in our head that criticizes us for procrastinating, saying things like,
‘You’re lazy,’ or ‘You’ll never get this done.’ But here’s the thing: being hard on yourself
only makes procrastination worse. Instead, practice self-compassion. Treat yourself like
you would treat a friend.

When you procrastinate, don’t feel bad about yourself. Instead, say something like, ‘It’s okay,
I’m just feeling overwhelmed right now. Let’s take it step by step.’ When you’re kinder to
yourself, you lower the anxiety around starting a task, which makes it easier to dive in and
get things done."

self-talk with positive, encouraging thoughts.

5. Understand Your ‘Why’ and Link It to Emo on

"Procras na on o en happens when we don’t connect emo onally to a task. We think, ‘I have to do
this because it’s on my to-do list.’ But here’s a trick: Link your task to a deeper emo onal purpose.
Ask yourself, ‘Why does this ma er to me? How will comple ng this task make my life be er?’

For example, instead of thinking, ‘I have to write this report,’ think, ‘Wri ng this report will help me
get closer to my career goals, which will lead to a promo on.’ You can apply this example as per your
situa on. So, when you link tasks to personal meaning and emo on, you’ll be much more mo vated
to take ac on."
