I will pay you $500 if you introduce me to a procrastination coach or therapist who has met *all* of the criteria below
Help me find coaches: $200 Bounty I'm looking for referrals to coaches who have, at least occasionally, led someone to resolve lifelong procrastination: - in approximate one session or intervention - even though the client had already tried all of the standard procrastination advice - with effects lasting 6+ months - such that the client became MORE aligned and less numb This referral will be valuable for the coach: I’m looking to refer them bounties from my backlog or at least learn from them I will pay $200 each when I feel satisfied with the above *DM me the referrals - I have questions to ask you* When DMing, please share the best evidence you know that they meet the criteria above
@ChrisChipMonk might i suggest it has more to do with the client selection effects than the coach? it s a side comparison, but i get 8-90% of folks through stream entry in 1 session, but of the 10% i cant, nothing i could say would convince them. of those 8-90%, they self select for readiness
I don't believe you'll find one. And I say this as someone who has "solved" procrastination for myself. I solved it by recognizing that it's not a problem to be solved, it's something to work with. It's a signal that you aren't done processing what you need to process. I never procrastinate when I know exactly what I need to do, and that happens when it needs to happen. So instead, I've trained myself to be able to maximize that leverage when things are done processing, so I'm able to multiply the momentum from any individual breakthrough into multiple systems at once. The key is that there are typically a few different types of processing blocks that are preventing action: 1. fear/uncertainty - an unknown is worse than a known evil 2. taste gap - knowledge of what good looks like is easier to obtain than the skill of what good is 3. Option Overload - too many choices to know where to begin, even the search operation is overwhelming. 4. trauma - the thing you need to do is like something you needed to do in the past when something bad happened and your body is reacting to experience This isn't possible to solve in a single session with a coach, because it's not an individual problem. It's a network problem. It's something that needs ongoing help to work on. The solution to procrastination is community. It's a constant feedback loop. It's shared filters. It's collective processing of events instead of relying on everyone to solve their own problems. It's not the people that need fixed, it's the networks, communication and human. That's what I'm working on.
@ChrisChipMonk Look at https://t.co/Ec6bHKxnLW
@ChrisChipMonk I'm dumb. @BuildInPublicU is exactly what you are looking for. It's what I'm building. It's a routing system for people to communities that can help them. I didn't think of it in terms of procrastination specifically, but it's starting to become the community I wish I had.
