Which Type Are You? [6:49]
Procrastination and overwhelm become big issue’s because they make you cloudy and keep you from taking the next step in your life. A lack of self-trust is often at the core of these issues.

Some of us don’t know we are avoiding taking action towards what we want because we are too frozen. Some of us show up and do whatever happens to come our way or some of us do anything but what we had planned. These are emotional pieces of time management.
