I think procrastination is a central challenge in moving meaningfully towards our goals. There are lots of great resources on the topic, one which I am currently digesting myself. Details on how to access it are in the post.<\/p>\n

\n

Waking Up<\/a> is, in the simplest sense, a mindfulness meditation app.<\/p>\n

But, if I am honest, I don’t really use it as a meditation app. I use it to access great short-courses and lectures on different topics: resilience, time management, attention, stoicism, doing good and lots more.<\/p>\n

I’m currently working my way through a series called ‘Solving the Procrastination Puzzle’ by Tim Pychyl, a retired psychology professor whose research focused on understanding why we can become our own worst enemy through procrastination. He hosts an excellent website<\/a> with lots of procrastination resources.<\/p>\n

As I was working through some of the content today, I was thinking ‘wouldn’t it be great if students could access this course?’.<\/p>\n

Then I realised, that is possible. Here’s how.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use my link<\/a> to get 30 days free access to the Waking Up app.<\/li>\n
  2. One you are in the app, navigate your way<\/a> to Tim’s course. You’ll find it in the ‘life’ section<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    His series consists of 10 sessions, total length 2h 46m. You’d definitely have time with a month’s access to digest his course.<\/p>\n

    Whilst you are at it, explore the rest of the app and see whether you might find it a valuable addition to your mental health self-care.<\/p>\n

    If apps aren’t your thing, Tim’s book might be a good choice.<\/p>\n
