“Why do I always leave things until the last moment?”
Do you ever:
- Not feel like starting?
- Fear your work will not be good enough?
- Get overwhelmed and go on social media instead of work or studying?
Then you’re in the right place.
Procrastination is affecting more and more people. Work is complex and distractions are everywhere.
All-nighters before exams, assignments finished a minute before midnight, presentations prepared 5 minutes before a meeting...
What if there was a less stressful way?
Hi, I'm Vita and together with co-author Mat we wrote this book to summarize the techniques that helped us stop procrastinating on working and studying alike.
During our first project, we went way out of our comfort zones and learned about things we knew nothing about - like design, or marketing, or business strategy.
We procrastinated when confronted with new challenges, but gradually, we started to develop strategies to deal with it.
Not feeling like starting? No problem.
Not feeling like our work is good enough? No problem.
Fearing no one will like or care about our work? No matter, let’s go forward.
That's what we'll help you do - learn to get things done consistently, with minimal guilt, shame, and anger.
