Procrastination is often seen as the enemy of productivity, but what if you could harness it?
The key is recognizing when procrastination strikes and pivoting to smaller tasks tied to the larger objective you’re avoiding. When you avoid a big task, use that energy to complete quick, easy-to-do items that support the progress. This keeps momentum going and, before you know it, the intimidating task becomes easier to approach.
Productivity isn’t about being busy; it’s about learning to manage avoidance effectively; to work through it; to dance with it.
