Quotes to ponder:
"Most of us are all too familiar with the sinking feeling that comes with putting off an important task."
"Procrastination is not a time management problem; it’s an emotional regulation problem."
"We often fail to realize that the very strategies we use to protect ourselves from uncomfortable feelings are the ones that keep us stuck."
