Lent is here, and while some people are giving up sugar, caffeine, or social media, I’m giving up procrastination. Yes, Sis, you heard me right. Because truth be told, procrastination has been blocking more blessings than sugar ever could!
It’s time for a soul-care glow-up, and that starts with breaking free from the cycle of putting things off—whether it’s our purpose, our healing, or even that small thing we’ve been avoiding (yes, I’m looking at you, unread emails!).
So, if you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready to finally move forward in faith, keep reading! Here’s how we can break up with procrastination for the next 40 days—and for good.
3 Key Ways to Overcome Procrastination (For Real This Time!)
🔥 1. Trick Your Brain (Make It a Game!)
Ever wonder why you can scroll on TikTok for an hour but “don’t have time” for that important task? Our brains crave instant rewards—so let’s use that to our advantage.
🛠 Action Step:
→ Set a 10-minute timer and challenge yourself to get as much done as possible. Make it a game, not a chore!
💡 Faith Reflection: What if we approached our obedience to God the same way? What if we treated our calling like a game to win instead of a burden to carry?
2. Pair It with Something You Already Do
You don’t procrastinate brushing your teeth, right? That’s because it’s automatic.
🛠 Action Step:
→ Attach your unfinished task to something you already do daily. Need to pray more? Do it before checking your phone. Need to journal? Write one sentence while sipping your morning coffee.
💡 Faith Reflection:
Imagine if reading the Bible became as automatic as scrolling Instagram. 👀
3. Future You is Watching – Make Her Proud!
Picture Tomorrow You. Does she wake up feeling accomplished, confident, and at peace? Or is she STRESSED because she put everything off (again)?
🛠 Action Step:
→ Before procrastinating, PAUSE. Ask yourself: Will Future Me thank me for this? If the answer is yes, DO IT NOW.
💡 Faith Reflection: The decisions we make today shape the future God has for us. Let’s move like we KNOW our purpose is too big to delay!s offer thrilling moments of connection with the wild.
