Overcoming Procrastination and Perfectionism

In this episode, Rob and Sarah discuss two big concepts: procrastination and perfectionism. You’ll learn how both of these originate, the different ways they overlap, and how to get past them.

We explore how procrastination may be trying to teach you something. Also, how your attention is crucial to ending procrastination. Plus, knowing your values can help you avoid getting stuck in a cycle of indecision.

Rob talks about how having a secure sense of self will help you gain more confidence and courage. And how breaking up with expected outcomes will combat perfectionism.
