In an age where screens and social media are eroding our kids' self-confidence, it's time to rebel.

We can't just stand by as their self-esteem and dreams get crushed under the weight of the digital world. The next generation of world-changers deserves better - and we've got to show them how to build the resilience and belief in themselves to make it happen.

You'll hear strategies for leveraging technology to personalize learning, foster community engagement, and instill a lifelong practice of positive affirmations. Sonny's taking the lid off alternative education models, predicting how corporate big dogs could revolutionize the industry.

Sonny Caberwal is the CEO and founder of Legends Lab, a non-profit focused on supporting the awareness and accessibility of programming and the assessment of confidence in children.

Episode 324: My Best Tips for Overcoming Procrastination Mar 01, 2024

Show notes

Struggle with procrastination? In this episode of the Habits & Hustle podcast, Jennifer admits she is a natural procrastinator, especially when it comes to things she doesn't enjoy doing or things she thinks she is bad at doing. Although, the reality of life is that we aren't going to be good at everything and we also aren't going to enjoy doing everything–but we still have to do it. So, how do we overcome this and learn to break our toxic procrastination patterns?

If you can relate, get ready for Jennifer to share her best Habits & Hustle tips. She explores the different parameters she has implemented into her everyday life that have greatly changed the way she tackles tasks. She also explains how procrastination can be detrimental to our self esteem, how overcoming procrastination needs to become a habit, and the little things she does to eliminate distractions

All the tips Jennifer shares are simple, tangible, and available to you at any time for whenever you're ready to start tackling your procrastination, too.

What's discussed:

0:00 - Introduction to procrastination

1:45 - How some people don't have time to procrastinate

2:05 - Why we procrastinate on the things we're bad at

2:53 - How to make big tasks feel less daunting

3:37 - Getting things done first thing in the morning

4:39 - The correlation between procrastination and self esteem

5:59 - How to eliminate distractions

7:44 - Utilizing time blocking

8:30 - Tell us what you think in the Facebook group!

Key Takeaways:

You procrastinate less when you break things down into smaller, sizable chunks. If something feels daunting to you, instead of thinking about the daunting task at hand, reframe the way you think about it by focusing on getting a small piece of it done today. The smaller you can break up your task, the less daunting it will end up feeling.
Procrastination is one of the simplest ways to destroy your self esteem and being your own accountability partner is one of the best ways to build your self esteem. If you make sure you do the things that you tell yourself you're going to do and do them completely, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment, and that leads to building real self confidence.
Put all the hard things you need to get done at the start of your day. Don't allow yourself to do anything else until you have fully completed these tasks. Turn this into a habit: Tackle the uncomfortable things first before falling into doing what feels comfortable.
