Why you keep procrastinating and what to do about it.

Do you procrastinate? Do people you work with wonder why you just don’t get on with things you’ve agreed to do and are perfectly capable of doing? This can be seen as laziness or worse – perhaps it’s an indication that you’re not up to the job. It’s especially tough if you’re procrastinating about finding clients, making sales or doing client work because it affects your ability to get paid on time. Or at all. Even worse, the person saying all these awful things to you is often you. We can be our own worst critics – and that just makes it harder to get started. So let’s do our best to put all of that to one side, because if you’re neurodivergent it’s almost certainly not true, and it’s definitely not helpful. Helen Lindop helps neurodivergent small business owners, freelancers and university students to develop their executive function skills and/or build strategies to work around them. In this session Helen will talk us through strategies that help to get things unstuck and grow executive function skills, the processes that help us get through daily life. These work both for those with neurodivergent traits and are also helpful for neurotypical people who work with neurodivergent colleagues. Find out more about Helen at https://helenlindop.com/
