You've spent years following productivity hacks, everything from time blocking, to "eating the frog" and yet procrastination still hits you hard. What if instead procrastination is a sign that there's something out of alignment? That's what we're covering in this week's episode of Transcend.
In this episode, I share how procrastination can be a sign of misalignment in our personal and business lives. Through my experience as a full-time litigator, I realized that my procrastination stemmed from a lack of alignment with my current work, especially when I no longer enjoyed the court experience. I emphasize that procrastination isn't a productivity issue but an indication that we're out of alignment with our goals.
