2024 HOPE SUMMER SEMINAR

STOP PROCRASTINATING AND REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

HDRF Founder & Chair Audrey Gruss moderated the discussion with acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Peter Freed, who is founder of Slothzero, a company dedicated to helping people stay motivated.

The lecture hall was full as Dr. Freed shared important takeaways for beating the urge to procrastinate.  In his practice he noticed that over half his patients struggle with procrastination, which is in fact not resolved by ADHD medication.

Freed explained we avoid projects because we run into feelings of shame just below the surface for being fundamentally deficient.  He advised that procrastination can be alleviated with the use of an “accountability coach.”
