Hey there! This workshop will help you understand how you procrastinate and make a plan to stop doing it! This will help you get better at work by avoiding putting things off.

Procrastination means putting off or avoiding something that should be done now. You may think procrastination means you are lazy or bad at time management. But that isn't usually true. Procrastination happens for many reasons, like wanting to have fun, being bored, being afraid of failing, or not having much confidence.

Lots of employees have trouble with procrastination. About 25% of adults say they are procrastinators. Also, workers might spend between 1.5 and 3 hours doing things that aren't work during work hours. If people procrastinate at work, it can have bad effects on their job and how well they do it. Procrastinators often work slower and not as well as they could and may take more time than needed to finish a task. They can also feel anxious, sad, or stressed out.

But it's possible to get better at not procrastinating. This workshop will help you see how you procrastinate and think about how to stop. If you can reduce or stop procrastination, you can manage your time better and get things done more efficiently.

Here are the steps we will work through in the workshop:

• Step 1: Identify the tasks you typically procrastinate about

• Step 2: Identify your procrastination behaviors

• Step 3: Identify why you procrastinate

• Step 4: Identify ways to eliminate each behavior

• Step 5: Taking action

• Step 6: Reflection

This workshop is not a magic pill but a starting point for behavior change that will take some practice and time to achieve. Knowing yourself better is the first step in understanding why you do the things you do! But knowledge without action is useless. That is why the community is here to support you! Behavior change is difficult, but having a support system does make it easier.

Here’s what people are saying about the Breaking the Procrastination Habit Workshop

“There are more aspects to procrastination than I was aware of - especially procrastinating by extending work. The workshop helped me reflect and commit to myself to change my behavior.”

— Victoria B.

“My challenge, being a “master procrastinator” in certain tasks, was that I never really took the time to reflect on it properly or to really make an action plan on how to beat it. This workshop was the opportunity for me to do just that.”

— Maria O.
