PROCRASTINATION IS A DIRTY WORD. IT’S ALSO A LARGELY MISUNDERSTOOD ONE. IT’S
ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLE LAZINESS — IF IT WERE, THE CAREFREE TASK-AVOIDANCE
PERIOD WOULD BE RESTFUL AND REFRESHING. INSTEAD, PROCRASTINATION IS DRAINING
BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN DOING TWO THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY: WORRYING ABOUT THE THING
YOU’RE NOT DOING AND FEELING GUILTY ABOUT THE THING YOU DID INSTEAD. DESPITE ALL
THAT MULTI-TASKING, YOU’VE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. SO, HOW DO YOU DEFEAT IT AND
GET SHIT DONE? LEARNING HOW TO DO SO TAKES A BIT OF EFFORT AND SELF-AWARENESS
BUT IT UNLOCKS SOMETHING AMAZING: GUILT-FREE LEISURE TIME. HERE’S THE ADVICE YOU
NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

TIPS AND TRICKS
KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED? TAKE BETTER BREAKS
IT SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE BUT WORKING FOR A SET PERIOD WITH SMALL BREAKS CAN
ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR FOCUS BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN CAN GET FATIGUED FROM ONGOING
DEMANDS. IF YOU’VE GOT A BIG PROJECT AHEAD OF YOU, BREAK IT UP INTO SMALLER
CHUNKS AND TAKE REGULAR PAUSES TO REFUEL WITH A GLASS OF WATER OR A JAUNT AROUND
THE BLOCK. BILLY ROBERTS

FIVE-MINUTE BREAK FOR EVERY 45 MINUTES OF WORK. “THE KEY IS NOT STARTING ANOTHER

TIPS AND TRICKS
HAPPINESS AND MUTUAL RESPECT GO HAND IN HAND
EVERY COUPLE FIGHTS. AND EVERYONE SAYS THINGS THEY DON’T MEAN IN THE HEAT OF THE
MOMENT. BUT, WHEN THERE’S LEGITIMATE BILE BEHIND THE BERATING, IT’S A PROBLEM.
“CONTEMPT IS A GENUINE DEVALUING AND DISRESPECT FOR THE OTHER PERSON,” SAID
RAFFI BILEK, LCSW-C, A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE BALTIMORE THERAPY
CENTER. “RESPECT IS ESSENTIAL IN A MARRIAGE, AND IT CAN STILL EXIST EVEN IN THE
FACE OF DISAGREEMENT OR ANGER. BUT, WHEN YOU SEE YOUR SPOUSE AS SOMEONE UNWORTHY
OF YOUR RESPECT, YOUR MARRIAGE IS LIKELY TO GO DOWNHILL FROM THERE.”
IN A RELATIONSHIP, MUTUAL RESPECT LOOKS LIKE SPEAKING TO ONE ANOTHER IN A
RESPECTFUL AND CONSIDERATE FASHION, KEEPING YOUR PARTNER IN MIND WHEN YOU’RE
MAKING DECISIONS, AND RESPONDING TO YOUR PARTNER’S NEEDS AND WANTS,” SAYS SABA
HAROUNI LURIE, A LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST, AND FOUNDER AND OWNER
OF TAKE ROOT THERAPY

IN LOS ANGELES. “THAT DOESN’T MEAN NECESSARILY SACRIFICING YOURSELF IN ORDER TO
MAKE OR KEEP YOUR PARTNER HAPPY, BUT IT MEANS COMMUNICATING WITH LOVE, EVEN WHEN
IT’S DIFFICULT.”
