Join me (Rae) as we chat about why we act scared of the finish line by procrastinating and putting off tasks that we claim we “have” to do.
Good news is, you’re not broken! Bad news is, you have to get yourself out of this loop. But don’t worry! In this episode we not only talk about why we’ve misunderstood procrastination, and how it’s a symptom and signal more than anything else, but we also talk about science backed strategies for overcoming your “instant gratification monkey” (as Tim Urban calls his procrastination mind).
Thank you to Dr Fuschia Sirois, Dr Timothy A. Pychyl and Tim Urban for their research findings into this topic and Mary Oliver for your poetry’s wake up call: “tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
