Neurodivergent Procrastination and Inertia - Emma Taylor

Many neurodivergent people struggle with procrastination and inertia, and can get stuck in a cycle of forgetting, avoidance, overwhelm, and a build-up of un-done tasks and their consequences, resulting in worse mood and even more procrastination. This workshop will offer tools for understanding inertia and the different forms of procrastination, the specific obstacles to different tasks for different people, and practical techniques for becoming unstuck.
