How to Overcome Procrastination and Take Action

#228 How to Take Action & Overcome Procrastination

Welcome back to Burnout to Brilliance! Sarah here, joined by my awesome co-host, Kelly. Have you ever stared at your to-do list while binge-watching yet another Netflix show? Today’s episode is all about How to Overcome Procrastination and Take Action—especially when fear, overwhelm, or good old Netflix keep getting in the way.

 

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

  • Why procrastination isn’t just “laziness”—it’s often about fear, perfectionism, or ADHD-driven overwhelm
  • The critical difference between procrastination and laziness, and how that impacts your self-talk
  • Brain-based insights on the limbic system vs. the prefrontal cortex—and why we crave instant rewards
  • Practical strategies like breaking tasks into mini-goals, setting micro-deadlines, and finding an accountability partner
  • How faith and grace can reframe how you approach even the most daunting to-dos

Why It Matters Now:

If procrastination has cost you sleep, grades, or peace of mind, it’s time to take back your day. With the new year in full swing, there’s no better moment to confront the habits and fears that keep you stuck. One small shift in how you tackle tasks can unleash massive momentum for everything else in your life.
