Epsiode 61 - Dyslexia and Procrastinating
It doesn't matter how important the task is. If it's not fum and interesting, or I think it's going to be a challenge for my dyslexia, it will get left to the last minute to complete the task.
It often comes with so much guilt and shame that you've left the task so late that you dare not share this with anyone!
This is so common for neurodiverse people particularly with Dyslexia and/or ADHD!
Once we understand how and why if affects our performance, we can put strategies in place to support us in these areas.
In this episode I share a story about when this has happened to me recently, like so many people with dyslexia. And how I used my strategies which I have in place to support me through the challenge.
Hopefully this gives you some tips on what you can do next time you feel like you're procrastinating over a really important, yet boring task!
Key topics:
- Feeling guilt and shame,
- Why we procrastinate, and
- How putting in strategies help navigate this challenge and build resilience over the feelings of guilt and shame.
