The Real Reason You Delay Important Things with Dr. Christine Li
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Christine Li, procrastination coach and psychologist, to explore why procrastination is far more than just putting things off. We unpack the real cost of delay, how it disconnects us from the present moment, and why it often pulls us away from the path that matters most.
We dive into the emotional roots of procrastination, the role fear and anxiety play in keeping us stuck, and how to recognise when we are quietly moving in the opposite direction of what we truly want. Christine also shares her powerful idea of the “main path” and how fun, expansion, and presence can help us know whether we are heading in the right direction.
Christine breaks down her simple but practical SMACK framework for overcoming procrastination through simplicity, mindfulness, anxiety reduction, communication, and kindness to self. We also explore flow, habits, morning routines, clutter, self trust, and how to build a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more aligned.
