Introduction

Learn how to overcome procrastination on this intensive 90 minute time management workshop.

This focused session will help you understand why you procrastinate and give you a plan to manage it going forward.

By the end of this session, you will clearly understand:

  • The ways that you distract yourself from more important or difficult tasks.
  • Strategies that you can use to manage your procrastination in future.

Course Detail

You will leave this intensive workshop with a clear plan to manage your habit of procrastinating.

We begin the session by examining everyone’s issues with their workload.

We then move to looking at strategies for overcoming the different drivers of procrastination.

The content will be customised for each group but will typically include:

  • Why do we procrastinate? What does it achieve?
  • Analysing your work and role – What is your role? What should you be focusing on? How does what you “should” do differ from what you actually do on a typical day?
  • ‘Comfort tasks’ – What jobs do you use to avoid less comfortable work?
  • Chunking – Breaking large ‘scary’ projects into much more manageable, approachable tasks.
  • Planning – Taking time to look at your diary to ensure you aren’t procrastinating.
  • Distractions – Making sure that distractions remain just that and aren’t used to avoid key priorities.
  • Your plan moving forward

Is This The Right Course For Me?

This course is an intensive session for people who want to overcome their tendency to procrastinate and put of big or ‘scary’ tasks. 

If you tend to leave things until the last minute or have ever felt the stress caused by focusing on a comfortable low-value task to put off a big, important project this is the time management course for you.
