Why you procrastinate even though it feels terrible

I've got the perfect example for you because I've already done it.

So I want to plan a giveaway for the studio and like talk to some local businesses, see who wants to kind of get together and put something in and then give it away in a couple of weeks time.

Um, from like exposure sort of standpoint.

But every time I sit down to do it, the thought is like, oh, this is overwhelming.

And I

just, it just gets put in the too hard basket.

And I did originally want to do like an open day paired with it, but I've just decided it's way too close to the date that I intended to do it, that it's just going to cause a little bit too much stress.

But again, same thing with that, just too hard basket.

Yeah.

Okay.

So the feeling is overwhelm and stress and the thought you keep kind of going too hard.

Is that what your brain is saying? This is too hard? Or like what is the sentence in your

mind? Yeah.

This is too hard.

Yeah.

Okay.

So for sure you're going to procrastinate, right? It doesn't matter how much structure we change.

It doesn't matter what amazing, you know, there's so much out there.

Like you've got to eat the frog,

eat through the hard thing first.

Like none of that works until we remove the overwhelm.
