I have mastered the art of turning a five-minute task into a five-hour ordeal.

And I can’t say I’m proud of this fact. 

You know when a sneaky little habit convinces you that cleaning the fridge is more urgent than finishing your work?

Or how about texting a friend, washing last night’s dirty pan sitting in the sink, or (gasp) scrolling 5 more minutes on social media. 

Some common distractions that detract from work at hand are really full-fledged procrastination with a capital “P.” 

It’s not like I choose to delay work, it just seems to happen.

It can really creep up on someone, right? 

Procrastination steals time and energy. It’s a like a pesky little gremlin that sabotages the best intentions. 

What if I told you, procrastination can be productive? Say what now? 

You can make it work for you!

Listen in as I explain in today’s episode.
