Although many people think that procrastination is a time management issue, most often it is an emotional response.

We’ll tackle the “complicated failure of self-regulation” in the anxiety-procrastination cycle by learning tips, reviewing research insights, and practicing practical strategies to intervene when anxiety and procrastination are feeding each other. These approaches are from the trio of actions that, when combined, have the strongest impact in lowering procrastination, and include exercises for practicing in between sessions.

This three-session skills program with Kathy Somers of the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic meets online for an hour on three consecutive Monday evenings beginning at 7 p.m. on Jan. 27.

The Stress Management and High Performance Clinic began in 1978 in the Department of Human Kinetics with Dr. Evelyn Bird’s research on the impact of biofeedback and self-regulation/Non-Sleep Deep Rest techniques on health and performance. When Dr. Bird retired from teaching at the University, Student Affairs asked the Clinic to continue providing this research-based skills training for interested students, staff, faculty, and community members.
