Do you ever feel like you have a million things to do, but you’re not doing any of them? Maybe you’re like I used to be. You make a to-do list, but then you lose it or ignore it. Or you do the easy things on the list and skip the hard things. It’s easy to get discouraged when you’ve been procrastinating forever.
Thankfully, God can help you overcome procrastination! The Bible tells us we’re transformed by the renewing of the mind. This works for anything we want to change, including overcoming procrastination. In my Freedom from Procrastination Bible Study, you’ll learn how to renew your mind for procrastination so you can get things done.
The book includes:
- Bibles studies to help you explore why you procrastinate and how to overcome it. As you see how people like Moses, Jonah, and Jesus handled the things they didn’t feel like doing, you’ll see how you can handle those things.
- Productivity tips to help you attack procrastination from a practical perspective.
- To-do lists to help you develop the habit of making and finishing a realistic to-do list each day.
- Renewing activities to help you renew your mind when everything in you is shouting, “I’ll do it later!” This will make you actually want to do your dreaded task or habit – or at least not mind doing it.
Following are the resources I mentioned in Freedom from Procrastination that can help you in your journey to overcoming procrastination.
