Think of a few things on your to-do list that you've been procrastinating on...
Do you get too preoccupied with details that may not matter in the long run?
Do you wait until it feel like just the "right time" to do something?
Do you find that many tasks are strenuous and slow going when you try to complete them?
Do you prefer not to do something at all if it can’t be done perfectly?
Or do you tend to have an "all or nothing" way of thinking?
If you can answer yes to one or more of these questions then you just might be a Perfectionist Procrastinator.
On today's episode I tell you how I definitely relate to this style of procrastination and what I've done to change.
