What is this workshop about?
Our daily lives are full of movement, activities, demands... decisions! Can we keep up? Or do we feel defeated, tired, and unproductive? Do we often procrastinate? Procrastination is a mix of psychological, behavioral, and emotional dimensions, as well as social, cultural, biological, and neurological tendencies. As such, it is a much more complex issue than it might seem and involves internal feelings, fears, hopes, doubts, and pressures. Sometimes, we don’t fully understand what we’re feeling and thinking, which leads us to use procrastination as a way of coping with something uncomfortable.
The "image" of procrastination is different for everyone. For some people, it might be a project waiting to be completed, while for others, it might be the face of a dear friend they want to call. So how can we tell if we’re procrastinating? Let’s work together to better recognize if you're procrastinating... and why.
