What a genius little, yet powerful, mindset shift.

It can also help with time-anxiety and procrastination as it will dedicate time to the solution and stop your mind from pondering it.

Looking forward to the "How" session!

I'm glad you like it, Fabienne. ☺️

Also, thanks for the great addition to the list of benefits. Indeed, these tools can be used in other situations as well, and time anxiety is a great example.

One good example of when I suffer from time anxiety, which interestingly sometimes leads to procrastination, is when I want to follow up on the newsletter messages and comments.

Asking "When?" forced me to block a timeslot on the calendar and do only that in the timeslot. If I don't finish, I block another time slot for the next day. It has worked well lately.

It's so interesting that a lot of people feel this - first of all strange - connectiong between time-anxiety and procrastination. But it is actually linked. People who suffer from time-anxiety tend to overcommit, which ultimately leads to overwhelm - and procrastination!

Great that you got a solution for comments and interactions!
