Shifting from Chaos to Clarity: Tools to Stop Procrastinating and Start Succeeding
Welcome to another episode of Shift Or Get Off the Pot! Today, we’re diving deep into the psychology of procrastination and clutter with Dr. Christine Li. Dr. Li is a clinical psychologist, productivity expert, and host of the Make Time for Success podcast. She is known for helping people move past overwhelm and progress toward their goals—she’s also been featured in Oprah Magazine for her strategies!
Dr. Li unpacks why we get stuck in busy work and how anxiety and old habits might be holding us back more than we realize. She shares personal stories about overcoming her own struggles with delay, explains how our brain forms habits that hold us back, and explores why decluttering our physical environment can actually free up the energy and focus we need to unlock our fullest potential.
We also chat about perfectionism, the myth of control, and why stepping into your goals is as much about mindset as it is about execution. Plus, Dr. Li introduces her "Re-Energize Your Home" challenge designed to help you clear the clutter—both literally and mentally—and start showing up for the life you actually want to live.
If you’re craving greater clarity, more control, and a practical way to break the cycle of procrastination, this is the episode for you. Join us as we shift from stuck to unstoppable!
