Event Information
From “I’ll Do It Later” to “Done”: Mastering Motivation & Procrastination (In-Person)
Keep putting things off until “later”? Waiting to feel motivated before you start? Stuck in the cycle of stress, guilt, and last-minute cramming? You’re not lazy and you’re definitely not alone! The good news: procrastination is not a personality flaw. It’s a pattern you can understand and change.
Motivation is not about willpower or waiting for inspiration. It’s about using proven strategies to take action, even when you don’t feel like it.
Why It Works (Backed by Science)
Research in psychology and behavioral science shows that understanding how motivation and procrastination work can:
- Reduce overwhelm and avoidance
- Increase follow-through on goals and assignments
- Improve focus and productivity
- Build confidence and momentum
- Lower stress and last-minute panic
You will learn practical, science-based strategies to stop procrastinating, start tasks with less resistance, and stay consistent, without burning out.
