This week, we emphasize that procrastination is a common experience and should not be a source of guilt or self-judgment. Procrastination can cause anxiety, limit opportunities, and negatively affect relationships. To combat procrastination, I suggest doing the hard thing first, rewarding oneself for progress, holding oneself accountable, taking breaks, removing distractions, and taking action. I also address a listener’s question about feeling overwhelmed by household chores and offer advice on establishing routines and involving children in chores.
