Why do we keep saying, “I’ll do it later”… even when it matters?
In this reflective episode, we explore the psychology behind procrastination — and why it’s not a character flaw but an emotion-regulation challenge.
Drawing on research from:
• Dr. Tim Pychyl on procrastination and emotional avoidance • Dr. George Ainslie on temporal discounting • Dr. Carol Dweck on fear of failure and mindset • Dr. Peter Gollwitzer on implementation intentions • Dr. Albert Bandura on self-efficacy • Dr. Kristin Neff on self-compassion
I unpack why the brain prefers short-term relief over long-term progress — and how tiny, compassionate action can break the cycle.
