Episode Description

For well-intentioned procrastinators, the start of each New Year is an exciting time for setting new goals—until our enthusiasm wanes, our momentum slows, and our commitment slides. But what if, this time, you formulate a plan and develop a toolbox of strategies to help you anticipate and combat procrastination, and stick with your new routine to accomplish your goals?

People with and without ADHD struggle with going the distance and staying on target, whether it involves exercising, eating healthy, getting organized, or something else. The challenges are magnified for those with ADHD due to neurological and emotional factors that amplify the tendency to procrastinate. However, effective ADHD-tested strategies do exist to help you overcome procrastination and stay on track.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Why people with ADHD are more susceptible to procrastination
  • How to develop a better understanding of why you procrastinate, especially when it comes to specific goals and tasks
  • How to set goals that you can accomplish
  • Strategies to reverse triggers, resist distraction, and overcome procrastination
