Do you ever procrastinate? If you’re looking for a way to finally stop putting things off - and get them done - then today’s episode is for you. As a follow-up to a session with me on being overwhelmed, David Burns has returned for a session to help me with my own procrastination. You’ll get to hear what works, what doesn’t, and - if you’re a therapist or coach - how to help other people with their procrastination. David Burns is the author of the newly released Feeling Great, which contains all the improvements in his methodology over the decades since his classic bestseller Feeling Good was written. David’s TEAM-CBT approach to therapy is a powerful way to stay centered and positive, no matter what’s going on in your world. This session with David Burns was a follow-up to our session on Overwhelm back in Episode 228. And, as always, I’m looking forward to your thoughts on this episode and what revelations and questions it creates for you.  Join us in the  Relationship Alive Community on Facebook to chat about it!  Sponsors: Find a quality therapist, online, to support you and work on the places where you’re stuck.

It&#39;s been interesting to have now a couple days of waking up and feeling that overwhelm feeling start, and then to actively be engaged in some dialogue around that. Basically, I don&#39;t have to listen to you and this is bullshit, I&#39;m going to do what I need to do, and the overwhelm isn&#39;t helping. And it&#39;s interesting that that&#39;s been... That&#39;s been pretty effective, actually. David Burns: Oh. That&#39;s great. Neil Sattin: Yeah. David Burns: Let&#39;s do a quick tune-up thing here and then we&#39;ll push forward. Neil Sattin: Great. David Burns: See how good you are at all of that. Now, let&#39;s see. Here we go. I&#39;m actually starting my own little anti-procrastination for the week. I&#39;m getting organized on my paperwork, and I put a staple through my notes which made it possible for me to find them forever - quickly. Neil Sattin: Oh, great. David Burns: What&#39;s your name? Neil Sattin: Neil. David Burns: What&#39;s my name? Neil Sattin: You&#39;ll be Neil. Right? David Burns: Yeah, that&#39;s right. Nei
