Do the Dang Thing (How to overcome procrastination to accomplish your goals)

01/11/23 • 15 min

In the podcast's debut episode, I talk about procrastination and the common reason behind it: fear of failure or perfectionism.
I know from my own experience that getting started on a project can be difficult, especially when it's something I've been thinking about for a long time. I want to share some of the things I've learned along the way, like breaking down tasks into small chunks, creating deadlines, and removing distractions.
I also talk about how we need to normalize imperfection in this era of social media comparison, because nearly everyone stumbles when they try something new, which is why I am letting you witness my own imperfect podcast as I learn along the way instead of waiting until I have something completely polished to share.
I encourage listeners to be proud of every accomplishment and to not wait for things to be perfect before taking action. And remember, taking that first step is key, no matter how messy it is. Even if you fall along the way, what matters is whether you get back up.
Join me on this journey as we overcome our fears and procrastination and take that first step towards our goals, together.
