Procrastination & Perfectionism: Two Roads to Shame and Suffering

We all do it sometimes: Put things off until the last minute, do every task on our list except the one we really need to get done, get stuck on a writing assignment because we cannot come up with the perfect starting sentence, or choose to do something more fun rather than the one we “should” be doing. If you find that you procrastinate to the point of extreme stress, or struggle to make deadlines, or get bogged down in perfectionism, then this workshop is for you! Come and discover ways to address the underlying dynamics behind these traps.

When: Thursday, February 27, 1:00-2:00 p.m.
