The Neuroscience and Psychology of Procrastination

This is an interactive seminar on the newest discoveries about Procrastination, Mood and the Emotional components of WHY we procrastinate. It starts on August 9th at 2pm EST and will run for 4 weeks at that same time ending August 30th. I imagine most of you will sign up August 8th or even the 9th ;)

A lot of what we have been lead to believe about procrastination is wrong. It really has nothing to do with time management. While everybody may procrastinate, not everyone is a procrastinator. Research has found that as many as 20 percent of people are chronic procrastinators. Telling the CHRONIC PROCRASTINATOR to "Just do it" is like saying to someone with addiction, to "Just stop using" their drug of choice.

A perfect storm of procrastination occurs when an unpleasant task meets a person who’s high in impulsivity and low in self-discipline. Most delayers expose a tendency for self-defeat. They can arrive at this point from either a negative state (fear of failure, for instance, or perfectionism) or a positive one (the joy of temptation). These qualities have led researchers to call procrastination the “quintessential” breakdown of self-control/self-discipline. Procrastination is predominately about our inability to self-regulate. You know what you ought to do and you’re not able to bring yourself to do it. It’s that gap between intention and action. We CAN rewire the brain to change these patterns and we CAN create NEURODISCIPLINE. This course will show you how!
