Manage episode 481362284 series 3540490
Ever found yourself doing everything but the one thing you absolutely need to get done? Laundry folded, fridge organized, random Wikipedia pages explored—and your big project still untouched? You're not lazy—you're human. And in this episode, we’ll unpack why procrastination happens and how you can finally outsmart it.
🧠 What You'll Learn:
- The real psychological drivers behind procrastination (hint: it’s not just poor time management).
- How perfectionism and fear of failure feed the procrastination cycle.
- The concept of “emotional regulation” and why it matters more than willpower.
- Practical strategies to break the habit—and build momentum.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Procrastination is an emotional regulation problem, not a character flaw.
- Avoidance offers short-term relief but compounds stress in the long term.
- Awareness is the first step—recognize your triggers and emotional responses.
- Tools like the “10-minute rule,” setting low-friction goals, and self-compassion can radically change your behavior.
