I want to round out this 3-part series on TIME with one more episode on unproductive actions we sometimes take that cost us time. When you can recognize familiar patterns it becomes easier to create a new pattern that's more productive.  I talk about procrastinating, doing “small tasks” and self-distracting — some of the actions that we do - or don't do - that are counterproductive and keep us working against ourselves. When you begin to understand how your thoughts drive your feelings which lead to your actions, which in aggregate create your results over time, THEN we can see if the wiring you have pieced together is actually the wiring you want, and if not, you can update your wiring.  ***Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?*** Subscribe here: https://www.shethinksbigcoaching.com/subscribe-main-list Episode mentions: How CPAs Can Create More Time During Busy Season https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/180 How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Pressured by Time https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/184

No one has been spared from the strong impulse to put things off for later. You might find yourself cleaning out the refrigerator when you should really be working on your taxes.  Dilly-dallying and lallygagging are a few ways one's aversion for impending tasks manifests itself. In the Netflix series, The Kominsky Method, Alan Arkin's character loses his wife of nearly 50 years to cancer and at the funeral, his daughter who never visits her ailing mother during her illness shows up. The upset father asks why and to which she replies, “Because I was busy”.  When pressed further, the daughter blurts out, “Because I didn't think she'll die.” In this case, the daughter's procrastination went too far.On this episode, our guest, Tim Pychyl, Ph.D., professor of psychology, award-winning teacher, successful author, and prolific podcaster, will talk about why we procrastinate. Since the hallmark of executive dysfunction is inefficiency, poor task management, and lack of goal achievement, this conversation will add a critical perspective to methods of supporting individuals with Executive Function.About Tim Pychyl, Ph.D.Dr. Tim Pychyl is the Director of the Centre for Initiatives in Education and Associate Professor of Psychology at Carleton University, Ottawa.
