231 {ENCORE} How to Use Procrastination Effectively
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this encore episode, Kemi challenges the hustle culture belief that you have to work yourself to exhaustion to succeed. Instead of a typical productivity lecture, we are looking at how to use strategic procrastination to your advantage.
Procrastination gets a bad reputation, but it can actually protect your creativity and reduce unnecessary stress. This is not an excuse to put everything off. It is about knowing exactly when to wait so you can break the cycle of last-minute panic without dropping your high standards.
Tune in to learn how to handle talk slides, abstract submissions, and SOPs without sacrificing your sanity or your standards.
