048 - Overcoming Procrastination, How To Move Through Resistance And Get To Work

John Marshall & Tony Holmes

In this episode, we discuss the headwinds we face when setting and meeting our own deadlines. Procrastination can show up in so many sneaky ways. The best one is where we end up doing other things that feel productive to avoid the feeling of not showing up to do our real work. It can also help you slow down and bring about divergent thinking to create your best work after pausing on a project. On the other hand, it can lead to not fulfilling our dreams and purpose when it gets to a point where we've truly missed our opportunity.

We discuss strategies for progressing in the face of resistance and getting to work. The fear of failure is one major example of why our minds procrastinate. If we never get the work done, we never have to feel the potential pain of people's negative reactions to it. This is one of the many fears we'll talk about overcoming.

Tune in and get to work with us. We're working through these challenges together, and they show up differently for each of us, as you'll find through our different perspectives on the subject. Whatever the challenge you face the most when it comes to creating the life you want, know that you have what it takes to overcome it. Let's create.
