Overcoming Procrastination: The Power of a Procrastination Journal
In this episode of the ADHD Goals podcast, the focus is on tackling procrastination, a common challenge for people with ADHD. The host introduces a proactive tool called the procrastination journal to uncover and address emotional triggers behind delaying tasks. The process involves tracking four key elements: what task is being avoided when procrastination occurs, how it manifests, and why it happens. Drawing on insights from Dr. Tim Fitchell, who identifies seven emotional triggers for procrastination, listeners are encouraged to document their experiences over a week. This detailed documentation aims to help design personalised solutions to transform procrastination into productivity.
