👀 Are you a musician putting the pro into procrastination?!
🙋♀️ Let me tell you, just before recording episode #172 - A Drummer's Guide To… Pro Procrastination that was ME!!!
😵💫 I share my struggles with procrastination in real-time and the ways I get over myself. This includes:
💥 Creating as little friction as possible to do the action
😍 Using rewards
😈 Telling people how naughty I’m being by procrastinating
💪 Looking at the bigger picture
🤏 (Paradoxically) Looking at the smallest picture possible
⏱ Using the ‘1 Minute Rule’
🫠 Using procrastination to your advantage
🎧 So if any of this sounds interesting to you, and you fancy an episode fraught with rambling, then check out episode #172 - A Drummer's Guide To... Pro Procrastination
🎙 …and if you’d like to lift the curtain further on all the other things it takes to be a professional musician, aside from playing your instrument, then look for A Drummer's Guide To... on all good podcasting platforms and YouTube
