072 \\ I Gave Up Procrastinating for One Year - 5 Things I’ve Gained From Not Procrastinating

My life is different now that I don't procrastinate.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of my podcast, The Habits and Home Show, and also signifies the day I decided to stop being a procrastinator.

On the very first episode of the podcast on September 1, 2021, I shared my personal struggle with procrastination and how I had felt led to start the podcast months earlier but I kept putting it off.

I shared that perfectionism and a fear of failure had been holding me back from launching the podcast but that I was done with my overthinking and worrying about doing it "wrong" so I forced myself to JUST. LAUNCH. THE. PODCAST.

That declaration and overcoming the need for perfection was a turning point for me. I no longer identified as a procrastinator and my actions this past year have solidified that belief about myself.

Anytime there was an opportunity to put a task off, my inner belief about myself wouldn't let me. It kind of felt off. Like I was going against the very nature of my being.

Anytime I thought about putting a task off until later, I found anxiety starting to creep in and I refused to let myself get into that state again because I just wasn't a place that I was able to thrive and be my best self.

That "off feeling" became the trigger for me to take action and because of me developing that constant action taking habit this past year, I have reaped many rewards and today I'm sharing 5 simple but powerful five things I've gained from giving up the habit of procrastination this past year.
