Wrapping-up our 3-part series on indulgent emotions, brings us to the ever-tricky procrastination and boredom.
Time Management #15: Lesson 1 in Staying Positive
In order to be more productive with my time, watching out for which type of self talk I'm using is a game changer. For example, last night I chose to massively clean my closet, including changing out seasonal clothing, rather than do a few key things I really needed to do. I knew exactly what I was doing, too: a classic case of procrastination.

6 Steps to Beat Procrastination & a Little Technique Called NET
I fell off the wagon again… the procrastination wagon that is.
I’m in Brussels for the first time right now doing my re-certification as a practitioner of Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). I’m excited to be here for the next 3 days and visit the city.

No one can tell me why this statue is popular here, but just that “everyone goes.”
Ok so I didn’t see Manneue Pis, but I did see Jeanneke Pis. AND I want to confirm that yes I tried the fries and they were fantastic. Big deal coming from an American, no?
Do You Have Decision Fatigue?
I’ve been observing from clients lately, and me too really, that a lot of us busyaholics are in a place of “decision fatigue.”
What's decision fatigue anyway?

You’re ruminating over and over about the many different decisions you have to make, yet you may not even be aware of it, or just slightly aware. It might come in the form of a repetitive thought like, "oh no, and what am I going to do about the holidays?" And the energy you’re putting into having unanswered questions on your back burner is tiring you out.
