Episode #134 Stop Procrastinating

Everyone procrastinates a little. But when it’s a common feature of how you work, it’s time to do something about it.

Tasks on your to do list growing mouldy and old. Missed deadlines. Being repeatedly chased for tasks you said you would do. Neglected to-dos preying on your mind in the early hours of the morning. The feeling of dread every time you think about a project. Under-recording hours after a task took you way too long to complete.

If any of these behaviours resonate, you’re in the right place.

In this week’s episode of Legal Imposters we’re shining the spotlight on Procrastination – a secret sign of Imposter Syndrome that, done repeatedly, will negatively impact your brand, your output, your performance generally and therefore ultimately your career. So this is something you want to address right now.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  1. What procrastination is and how it’s showing up in your day to day
  2. The damage procrastination is doing to your career and why stopping it matters
  3. The 2 main causes of procrastination and how to tell which one applies to you
  4. Why tackling procrastination needs to happen at an identity level, so you can nip it in the bud for good.
