🚀 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:
  1. Name the cause: You’re avoiding a feeling (not a task).
  2. Spot the 3 emotions:
  3. 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.
Day 4 Challenge: Reflect & Share
Pick one of these to answer in the comments 👇
  • What emotion have you really been avoiding?
  • When did you choose action over avoidance today?
  • How did facing it change how you feel?
  • What truth or lesson showed up for you through the discomfort?
  • How might this small act ripple through the rest of your week?
