Blind spots & Procrastination

The two things we all have and do, blind spots and procrastinate. This is a pause and reflect post.

Blind spots

I will start with a great quote from Adam Grant,

‘Ask people for feedback, and they sometimes tell you what you want to hear. Ask them about blind spots, and they're more likely to tell you what you need to hear. Gains in self-awareness often begin with the question: What do other people know about me that I might not realize?’

For my view on blind spots, this article that I wrote in Medium last month is on blind spots, how it can affect our progress and a way to overcome it.

Procrastination

I came across this great article on the 4 types of procrastinators and that we all have a favourite avoidance archetype. It is summarised in the table below. As the saying goes, when you know which type you are you can do something about it.

For a bit more detail, this Medium article reveals my procrastination type and how I am addressing it.
