When you need a decision tree, is it okay to procrastinate?

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:05.800
Let's be honest.

3
00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:08.860
Sometimes procrastination is a sign that you need rest.

4
00:00:08.860 --> 00:00:12.280
Other times it's avoidance disguised as later.

5
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:15.140
So how do you know if it's okay to put something off?

6
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:18.000
Start by asking yourself these questions.

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.640
Am I avoiding this because it feels overwhelming or scary?

8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.240
If so, take one tiny step.

9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:27.200
Overwhelm shrinks when you get started.

10
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.160
Am I procrastinating because I'm burned out?

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.360
If you're emotionally or physically drained,

12
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:34.180
give yourself permission to recharge

13
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:36.120
before pushing through.

14
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:39.380
Will delaying this create bigger problems later?

15
00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:41.160
If waiting will make things harder,

16
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.480
do the hard thing now so you don't regret it later.

17
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:47.840
And is this something I actually want to do?

18
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.720
If yes, find the smallest action to gain momentum.

19
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:56.640
If no, decide if it's necessary or if you need to let it go.

20
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.040
Sometimes procrastination is self-sabotage.

21
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:02.320
Other times it's self-care.

22
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.440
The key is knowing the difference.

23
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:07.340
You have permission to listen to yourself,

24
00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:09.080
to take action when needed,

25
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:11.960
and give yourself grace when it's time to rest.
