In this episode, I chat with Dr. Tim Pychyl on procrastination. A faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), Dr. Pychyl and his students devote their attention to understanding why and how we can sabotage our best intentions with needless delay. In addition to numerous journal articles, conference presentations and edited books such as Procrastination, Health & Well-Being (2016) and Counseling the procrastinator in academic settings(2004), he is the author of Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Positive Change (Tarcher/Penguin, 2013). As a university professor, Dr. Pychyl is a passionate and talented teacher who has received numerous awards including Canada's prestigious 3M National Teaching Fellowship. Given his interest in integrating research and teaching, he has taken his research focus on procrastination beyond journals and books to include a comic strip and podcasts at his website procrastination.ca.
