Chronic Procrastination and Its Toll on Mental Wellbeing
Chronic Procrastination and Its Toll on Mental Wellbeing
September 8 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
A Mental Health Connect Collaborative Education Meeting
While chronic procrastination is not by definition a mental illness, it can result in high levels of stress, which in turn can exact a toll on one’s mental, as well as physical well-being – especially if it occurs over an extended period. It’s a pattern of behavior that can be changed and this program is designed to help chronic procrastinators do just that.
Learning objectives:
- Understand when procrastinating behavior is helpful and when it’s harmful.
- Explore the consequences of procrastination and how it can negatively impact one’s well-being.
- Identify the reasons behind procrastinating behaviors so they can be more clearly understood and changed.
- Recognize the correlation between procrastination and perfectionism.
- Take home effective strategies to reduce procrastinating behaviors.
