Hi, I'm Charlie Grimes, the host here at Podcrastinate, a show about procrastination. More than that, it's a podcast about my journey to overcome that debilitating pattern. No matter how well I do in my personal life, I still feel profoundly ineffective in my creative life. I've always wanted to be a creator of some sort for as long as I can possibly remember. Sure, I've done some creative projects here and there, the ones I've managed to finish, but nothing has ever absolutely fulfilled me. I'm not even sure if anything ever will. I feel almost split in half, gutted, like there's a dark chasm dividing my chest and it's widening every year. I'm nudged closer to jumping off into that nothingness by a hand I can't see. That may be just a little darker than what the show really gets into but you get the idea. This podcast is my attempt to break free and finally chase those things I'm passionate about, things I'm fascinated by: music, art, philosophy, motivation, and psychology. We'll discuss all sorts of progress, probably while procrastinating, but the idea is to push me in the hopes of pushing you. Starting from nothing isn't easy or pretty for that matter, but if you like the idea of gritting your teeth and pushing through the hardest part, by all means, start from the beginning of this podcast. If you're impatient to see the progress, start a few episodes in. The first episode is called The Hardest Thing is Just Starting, but let's face it, it may as well be called The Hardest Thing is Listening to This Episode. But it's all there, the progress, to show you that something so terrible can be started and transformed into something beautiful. Join me, and together, let's get something done in our lives for once. Something creative. Something beautiful. (Warning: The podcast host, and the occasional guests, may use spicy language, and/or tasteless jokes, if you, or your loved ones involuntarily listening, happen to have little ears or little minds, this podcast may not be for you.)
