Well, holy heck… our cheeky little podcast, artchatter, hasbeen nominated for a Women’s Business Club Award https://womensbusiness.club/awardsWHAT? We are so very grateful to the listener(s) who nominated us. Unfortunately we can’t attend the awards ceremony in person on 3rd December, but we’ll be live online…holding our breath, obviously! This is a big deal for us. We’re not famous, we don’t have a gazillion followers, but we are more delighted than Jennifer Lawrence on Oscar night.Although the winner isn’t decided by the number of votes, wewould love it if you enjoy #artchatterpodcast if you would take a moment to vote for us.----------------------------------------------Righty-ho, back to regular scheduling!We’ve all experienced the “I’ll do it later… after lunch,after a cup of tea…tomorrow?” haven’t we? (It can’t just be us). Why though? Do we really understand why we do this to ourselves when actually just starting can be such a relief. Do we need a pep talk, a body-double, a deadline (helloGaynor)? Is it a question of lack of self-belief, confidence or dare we say it…fear? Fear of being judged, fear of getting it wrong, fear of looking foolish? Or all of the above?Maybe if we look at the reasons behind our procrastination we’ll find a way to motivate ourselves. If we understand what we need, perhaps we can find a solution and step right on up and do the thing. Finally!Now, as always, we invite you to tell us how you feel aboutthis, what’s your favourite go to delay tactic…and do you know why you put things you actually want to do, off? there’s lots more to chat about.
