My Life is Different Now that I Don’t Procrastinate.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today marks the one year anniversary of my podcast \ud83c\udf89, The Habits and Home Show, and also signifies the day I decided to stop being a procrastinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the very first episode of the podcast on September 1, 2021, I shared my personal struggle with procrastination and how I had felt led to start the podcast months earlier but I kept putting it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shared that perfectionism and a fear of failure had been holding me back from launching the podcast but that I was done with my overthinking and worrying about doing it “wrong” so I forced myself to JUST. LAUNCH. THE. PODCAST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That declaration and overcoming the need for perfection was a turning point for me. I no longer identified as a procrastinator and my actions this past year have solidified that belief about myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anytime there was an opportunity to put a task off, my inner belief about myself wouldn’t let me. It kind of felt off. Like I was going against the very nature of my being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anytime I thought about putting a task off until later, I found anxiety starting to creep in and I refused to let myself get into that state again because I just wasn’t a place that I was able to thrive and be my best self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That “off feeling” became the trigger for me to take action and because of me developing that constant action taking habit this past year, I have reaped many rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 5 simple but powerful five things I’ve gained from giving up the habit of procrastination this past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
