🚀 Day 4: Beat Procrastination & Get It Done

🧠 Theme

You’re not lazy—you’re under-systemed. Procrastination is usually experiential avoidance (avoiding a feeling now that costs you later). Build simple systems and you’ll move—no matter how you feel.

✍️ Core Lesson

Leila’s 3-step framework:

Name the cause: You’re avoiding a feeling (not a task).
Spot the 3 emotions:
Swap cycles: Trade productive procrastination (busy with easy stuff) for productive failure (imperfect action → learn → adjust).

✅ Today’s Challenge (15–30 minutes total)

1) The Avoidance Audit (5 min)

Write the ONE thing you’ve been avoiding.
Under it, finish this sentence: “I’m actually avoiding the feeling of ____.”

2) Pick the Head You’re Facing (2 min)

Which one is it? Anxiety / Rebellion / Boredom

3) Match the Mini-System (10–20 min)

If Anxiety:
If Rebellion:
If Boredom:

4) Close the Loop (2 min)

Write one line: “What I tried → what I learned → my next tweak.”

🧘 Daily Meditation Tie-In (2 lines)

Before you start, play Intention for the Day and repeat:

“I act despite discomfort. I choose progress over perfect.”

🧩 Simple Systems You Can Keep

15-Minute First Bite: Start every work block with 15 minutes on the one avoided task.
Two-Day Rule: You can miss a day, never two in a row.
Friction Audit: Make the first step stupid-easy (pre-open doc, template email, single-click record).
Reps Tracker (Inputs > Outputs): Count calls, drafts, minutes—not sales, likes, or pounds.
