Break the Anxiety-Procrastination Cycle
Although many people think that procrastination is a time management issue, most often it is an emotional response.
We'll tackle the "complicated failure of self-regulation" in the anxiety-procrastination cycle by learning tips, reviewing research insights, and practicing practical strategies to intervene when anxiety and procrastination are feeding each other.
These approaches are from the trio of actions that, when combined, have the strongest impact in lowering procrastination, and include exercises to practice in between sessions.
This three-session skills program with Kathy Somers of the Stress Management & High Performance Clinic
meets online for an hour on 3 consecutive Monday evenings
beginning at 7:00 pm on January 27.
