The Worrier's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination

The Worrier's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination explores the links between procrastination and self-doubt, fear of failure, and perfectionism, and it presents readers with a four-step plan for overcoming the doubts and fears that lead them to put things off. Readers learn to set goals, manage their time, and cope with feelings of overstimulation. Through numerous exercises and worksheets designed to teach cognitive therapy techniques, behavioural strategies, and mindfulness skills, readers learn to accept imperfection and uncertainty and work past the behavioural patterns that keep the procrastination cycle going. The book closes with a guide to preventing relapse by seeking support from others and celebrating accomplishments in overcoming procrastination.
