Episode Description

You're a pro at seeing what went wrong, why it went wrong, and exactly what it will cost if it goes wrong again. If you love a good post mortem and naturally think in terms of evidence and precedent rather than optimism and possibility, you might be an Analyst. In this episode, I'm breaking down the third procrastination profile from my new book Procrastination Proof. Analysts excel at reviewing data and learning from results but get stuck moving from analysis to future vision. You become an archivist for mistakes, accidentally curating a perfect museum of all the times it didn't work before. The pain of the past creates the procrastination of the present. You can't do today because of something that happened yesterday. Do you know what the hardest part of the eleventh diet is? The first ten that didn't work. If this sounds like you, take the free quiz at JonAcuff.com/quiz to discover your exact procrastination profile and get a customized action plan.
