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 mixture not only of psychological, behavioral and emotional dimensions, but also of social, cultural, biological and neurological tendencies. As such, it's a much more complex issue than you might think and involves internal feelings, fears, hopes, doubts and pressures. Sometimes we don't fully understand what we're feeling and thinking and so we end up using procrastination as a way of dealing with something uncomfortable.
The "image" of procrastination is different for everyone. For some people, it might be a project waiting to be done, but for someone else it might be the face of a dear friend they want to call. So how can we tell if we're procrastinating? Let's try together to better recognize if you're procrastinating... and why.
