The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 189: Do With Time What You Want, Not What You Feel Obligated to DoTime can be very limiting in determining what we actually do because it’s a limited resource. Of course, you get to decide what to do with that time. Hint: procrastinate with purpose.
It can be easy to get caught up in doing what we feel we “have to” do, instead of what we actually want to do.
But don’t let the work hard mantra get in the way of procrastinating and doing what you really want to do.

You put off one thing in order to do another. It’s just the way things work.
Procrastination at its core is not such a bad thing, contrary to popular belief. But it does depend on what you actually procrastinate on.
That said, putting off work ‘til later isn’t necessarily such a bane either. In fact, even the Lord himself tends to be a procrastinator.

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 100: Laziness is your Super Power!SLOTHULK CRASH!!!
If you find yourself as a natural procrastinator. In other words, if you find yourself naturally wanting to play video games or watch TV instead of doing what you’re supposed to do. If you'd naturally feel like you'd rather sleep in all day instead of go into work or class,
...then I have good news for you!
You have the potential to be a super hero.
That’s right.
You’re basically a person who just discovered their powers but has no idea what the fck they’re doing or how to control it yet. You’re just wi...

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 99: Becoming Socially Aware When Youre Socially Awkward Without Even TryingThis episode focuses more about how to be socially aware on a personal level with the people you know or meet. There is a lot less focus on the current events and more on "awareness" as a skill.
It's an important skill to master and can help you feel a lot less awkward or anxious.
On the grand scale, knowing how to be "socially aware" can help people build dialogue instead of calling each other names (or lighting buildings on fire for that matter).

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 98: The Police Need to Calm DownThe Police need to like, take it easy, man. There are a countless number of shootings, chokings, and beatings of unarmed innocent people, especially those who are black.
The level of police brutality is nothing new. It's nothing that hasn't been said or talked about before. It's nothing that hasn't been protested in the past, peacefully at that.
Yet, George Floyd and his case is significant. it marks the final straw for people tolerating the police and their unjust bullshit.
It marks the beginning of a revolution.
We've been stooped up for months indoors. People are already quite agitated...

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 97: Becoming Aware of Your Lazy Self and Attain Consistent ChillAre you aware of your own feelings?
Are you though? Really? Because raise your hand if you ever made a mistake.
Yup, you raised your hand, at least you imagined it. I know you're too lazy to raise any body part or do anything close to exercise. Anyhoot!
Ya know, sometimes we get so caught up in the heat of the moment that we're not even aware of what we're thinking or feeling, or more importantly why we feel that way.
We act on impulse and wind up...fucking up.
Fucking up is okay. It's no big deal. Mistakes...

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 95: Takin' It Easy with Your Roommate or Partner While Stuck Together in Quarantine (Part 1)Sick of the person you're isolated with?
Whether it's a family member, partner, or roommate, you're inevitably going to get on each other's nerves during this whole virus thing.
It's going to happen.
I mean, you're trapped inside the same building. Together. For an undetermined amount of time. Ugh.
There's no avoiding the Tension that's going to arise.
But don't worry! It's not so much about negating Tension completely, but how you handle said Tension.
You have two options: a) Escalate it into drama b) Simmer down and approach it cooly and calmly.
As always, I suggest the relaxed...

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 94: Being Lazy in Your Lonesome: How to Be AloneLoneliness is just a feeling.
Just because you are alone does NOT mean you need to feel lonely.
Minus a few Zoom calls and rounds of Call of Duty with some buddies (and all the social things you can do while social distancing we covered last week), most of the time spent in quarantine is spent alone.
Being alone in this Coronapocalypse may be inevitable, but getting anxious over "aloneness" is a choice.
You can either see alone time as a sort of prison sentence
...or as an opportunity to get to know the coolest person ever: yourself.
It's...

The ProcrastiN8r PodcastLvl 93: Socializing While Social Distancing (How to be Social When You're Quarantined or Just Plain Lazy)You're feeling a bit lonely, huh?
All this cabin fever, making us feel all stooped up, missing our friends, family, lover.
And maybe you're not usually one to hang with the party crowd, out there clubbing n' shit, but before this whole quarantine thing, you did have company at least once in a while. And you enjoyed it.
Maybe they'd come over your place and sit on the couch with you, or maybe you'd go over their place and sit on their couch, playing video games or binge watching shows together. It was chill. It was nice.
But now...

Many people believe that. To the point that they're picketing protests with signs that say such things as: "Sacrifice the weak. Give us Freedom."
Either these people are just bored or lack the freedom in their own mind to realize the options that are available before them. It assumes we're being told exactly what to do with our time.
We're not. We're just being told to do our part and chill for a bit so this virus doesn't spread much further. How we chill and lay low is completely up to...
