In this episode, Kamini Wood reframes procrastination not as laziness or poor time management, but as an emotional coping strategy to avoid uncomfortable or challenging tasks. She explains that underlying emotions such as fear of failure, perfectionism, overwhelm, or a lack of control often drive procrastination. Understanding these emotional roots is crucial to breaking the cycle, as procrastination can erode self-trust, damage self-esteem, amplify anxiety, and reduce productivity. Kamini offers actionable tools to combat this, including Mel Robbins' "Five-Second Rule" (counting down from five and taking immediate action), breaking down large projects into smaller steps, clarifying your "why" to build intrinsic motivation ,, and time blocking specific tasks in your schedule. She emphasizes that progress, not perfection, is the goal, and celebrating small actions builds momentum and confidence.
