Conquer procrastination: A conversation with procrastination coach Chris Abdey

Patrick Bass Show

Transform your productivity and conquer procrastination once and for all with insights from renowned procrastination coach Chris Abdey. Ever wondered why you keep putting off tasks despite knowing their importance? Chris breaks down the root causes, including fears of failure, success, and judgment that keep us stuck. We explore five procrastinator archetypes—the perfectionist, the dreamer, the crisis maker, the "what-if" thinker, and the defier—with tailored, practical advice to help you overcome your own procrastination patterns.

Multitasking may seem like the key to efficiency, but it might be adding to your stress and lowering your work quality. Chris and I discuss the pitfalls of juggling multiple tasks, debunking the myth that it leads to greater productivity. Discover how traditional tools like pen and paper can reduce decision fatigue and improve focus compared to the overload of modern digital planners. We also dive into the quadrant system for effective time management and explore how the culture of instant gratification impacts our ability to prioritize long-term goals.

Finally, learn how to transform procrastination into productivity through habit formation. Chris shares actionable strategies that emphasize ownership and accountability. Techniques like bridging habits, removing barriers, and using gamification make tasks more manageable. To maintain productivity, we highlight the importance of accountability partners and weekly planning to ensure you stay on track long after breaking the procrastination cycle.
