Hi Reader,

It's been on my to-do list for forever to regularly send out some general study tips. I meant to start a while ago.

But you see... I wanted everything to be perfect - to have the right tips and resources lined up and waiting with a cute design and all that.

Long story short, I was procrastinating.

Now, you're probably thinking: But that's not procrastination, Ola. You just wanted it to be perfect.

Well, that's what procrastination looks like for some of us - perfectionism. And we'd be better off calling it like it is so we can fix it.

How to beat procrastination

The truth is, we don't procrastinate simply because we're lazy. There are different reasons we procrastinate, and the secret to beating procrastination lies in knowing why you procrastinate.

Is it that you want perfection, like me, or is it something else?

​Check out this video to find out why you procrastinate and how you can beat it.

If you prefer to read, here's an exercise to help you identify types of procrastination with several solutions to match.​​

Try something

So Reader, you can try your friends, try your family, try an app. You can go from procrastinating to productive with some strategic, committed decisions and actions. And it's going to feel so, so good! Go ahead; try something!

​

Rooting for you,
Ola
