About This Talk
Chris looks at procrastination as an avoidance strategy that everyone uses at one point or another, whether on purpose or not. He explains that it robs us of our future and can leave the people around us stuck as well. He asks listeners to notice when they’re putting something off, get curious about why, and then move into action.
Key Ideas
- Procrastination is an avoidance strategy, and whenever we put something off, intentionally or not, we are avoiding something.
- Get curious in the moment and ask yourself hard questions, such as why you don’t want to do this.
- Procrastination robs us of our future, and when we’re stuck the people around us get stuck too, so think it through and move into action.
“The other thing about procrastination is that it robs us of our future. It robs us of all the richness of new things.”
