Have you ever put off making a decision because it's felt too difficult, too scary or too boring?

Have you got things on your ‘to-do’ lists that have been moved to the following week every week for months?

Have you ever done nothing because you simply don’t know what the best course of action was? 

Then you’ve experienced procrastination. 

We all have the tendency to defer tasks we’d rather put off until tomorrow, or next week or next month or never!  We all stall on making decisions because they’re too difficult, too complex or we have too much choice so we do nothing. 

Why do we put some things off though? We might miss opportunities for not taking action quickly enough, waste time fretting about what we haven’t done, feel unproductive and that we’re not making progress.

Join us on Thursday 25 February at 6 pm to learn The Procrastination Game. An interactive session where we play and learn about how procrastination affects our ability to make decisions. 

Join John Mitchell, our invited speaker, Helen Denny, founder at Not9to5 and Lucy Gower, founder at Lucidity on Thursday 25 February and learn:

  • Why we procrastinate at making decisions 
  • How assumptions and bias play into our procrastination 
  • Practical tips to overcome your procrastination tendencies.

Join us for this engaging networking event on Thursday 25 February, 6pm-8pm (UK time).
