@Eric Foster, this isn’t really a procrastination problem—it’s friction. The task feels annoying and easy to avoid, so it keeps getting pushed off even though it’s your money. Simplify it: don’t think about finishing the whole report, just set a 10-minute timer and start. Attach it to something you already do daily, and make a simple rule like no expense sits longer than 48 hours. Small system, no buildup. That’s how you fix it and improve your position.

@Austin Kolada Awareness → Control → Strategy → Execution → Refinement

1. Metacognition-Awareness of your thoughts.“Why am I thinking this way?” 2. Self-Regulation-Now you start controlling it.Adjusting your behavior, habits, and decisions in real time. 3. Strategic Thinking-You stop reacting and start planning.Thinking ahead. Seeing moves before they happen. 4. Execution / Application-None of it matters if you don’t act.This is where most people fall off. 5. Reflection & Adjustment-You review what worked, what didn’t…Then refine and repeat. That cycle is how you improve your position mentally. Most people get stuck at awareness. The ones who win move into control and execution.
