92. What If "Later" Never Comes?
Manage episode 477355395 series 3645874
What if those two seemingly innocent words—"maybe later"—are actually sabotaging your entire life? This eye-opening episode dives deep into how our tendency to postpone what truly matters is keeping us stuck in an endless cycle of waiting for the perfect moment that never arrives.
The truth stings a little: "maybe later" isn't responsible planning—it's procrastination dressed in a responsible outfit. It creates an illusion of control without requiring us to make actual decisions. Every time we defer something important, we're not just delaying joy; we're actively choosing something that drains us instead. We're reinforcing the dangerous belief that our needs are optional luxuries rather than necessities.
I'm sharing three powerful, practical tools to break this pattern: the 90-day rule for overthinkers, the three-task rule for the perpetually busy, and the non-negotiables list for reconnecting with what you truly need. These aren't cute productivity hacks—they're lifelines designed to help you move things from your "later" column to your "now" column. Because clarity doesn't come from waiting; it comes from moving.
Ready to stop protecting "later" at the expense of now? This episode offers the honest conversation and practical guidance you need to start creating the life you want today, not someday. Your joy isn't optional, and your needs matter right now—not just when everything else is perfectly aligned.
