Ep.006 Why You're Procrastinating (And What You Can Do to Stop)

#006 – Procrastination is the nemesis of a lot of students. A Netflix-binge, early night or even cleaning the bathroom is often more appetising than starting that essay or revising for that exam.    But while procrastination may be fun, the effects of it are not – including guilt, stress, all-nighters and crappy grades.   In this episode, we’re diving into WHY we procrastinate. When we understand our reasons for putting off studying it becomes possible to do something about it. I’ll walk you through my three-step process to ditching procrastination so you can save your sanity, be more proactive, and achieve better results.   To get the links and shownotes for this episode, including the awesome worksheet I’ve created, head to: https://chloeburroughs.com/episode6.   To find out more about the Get the Grades Bootcamp, head to: https://chloeburroughs.com/bootcamp.
