BREAKING PATTERNS OF PROCRASTINATION


Vancouver Campus | 9:30am–12:00pm

For more details and registration, see here: https://www.grad.ubc.ca/about-us/events/21004-breaking-patterns-procrastination

Putting things off to the last minute? Having a hard time starting a project? Or is it hard to finish and actually put a close to something you are working on? This workshop is here to help you procrastinate less and get more done. Contrary to what most people think, procrastination is not fundamentally a time management problem, which is why just trying to manage your schedule better is limited in effectiveness in changing this pattern of behaviour.

In this workshop you will learn:
about the factors that drive and maintain procrastination
about the psychology of avoidance
a variety of effective, concrete strategies to help you put a major dent in procrastination patterns.

Facilitator:
Alex Abdel-Malek, MSW, RCC, is a professional therapist and instructor devoted to understanding how meaningful choices affect our health and wellbeing. In addition to teaching counselling skills at a university level, Alex is a regular contributor to programs and courses at the UBC Life and Career Centre, teaching popular courses such as Overcoming Perfectionism, and Breaking Patterns of Procrastination.
