Dreadline. A deadline with one dreads.
One of my clients recently used the word 'dreadline' word when explaining areas of their work they often procrastinate on, and yes, I have to admit I enjoyed the play on words. But the underlying tone is a serious one.
I often support people with procrastination. It regularly comes up as a challenge clients want to discuss in coaching sessions.
So, here are 5 questions I ask my clients to help with procrastination:
What type of tasks are you putting off? (admin? self-assessment? budget?)
Why you are procrastinating on this type of work? (lack of confidence, boredom, overwhelm?)
What would happen if you didn't complete the tasks you are procrastinating on?
Which tasks are most important to enable you to move forward?
How could you break these tasks down into smaller action points to make them easier to complete?
Now, a question for you: What dreadlines do you work to?
