Podcasts about Procrastination

In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, Melina Palmer revisits the concept of bikeshedding, a phenomenon that leads us to obsess over trivial details while neglecting the more significant issues that drive progress. Originally discussed in episode 99, Melina brings this foundational topic back into focus as we navigate the complexities of decision-making in a rapidly changing environment. Bikeshedding, a term coined by Cyril Northcote Parkinson, highlights our tendency to spend excessive time on inconsequential tasks—like perfecting a logo color—at the expense of critical decisions that can impact our success. Melina explains how this behavior can hinder our productivity and offers practical strategies to overcome it. She discusses the relationship between bikeshedding and Parkinson's Law of Triviality, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing meaningful work over distractions. In this episode: Understand the concept of bike shedding and how it manifests in everyday decision-making. Learn about Parkinson's Law of Triviality and its implications for productivity. Discover practical questions to ask yourself to break free from bikeshedding and focus on what truly matters. Explore the significance of setting clear goals to combat procrastination and maintain momentum. Gain insights into how to balance feedback from others while staying true to your own objectives.

Why do we procrastinate, overthink, avoid, or hold back just when things matter most? Your social media feed at 2 am calls this self-sabotage, but is it?In this episode of the Scenic Route, we unpack fresh psychology research that flips the story of self-sabotage on its head. You'll discover three hidden patterns that shape how we repeat harmful choices:Sensitives: quick learners who adapt after mistakesUnawares: people who miss the cause-and-effect until it's explainedCompulsives: those who know better but can't break the cycleYou'll hear why common advice like “just use willpower” or “learn from your mistakes” fails so many of us, and what actually works instead.Because here's the twist: you're not broken, lazy, or your own worst enemy. What looks like sabotage is often safety in disguise. And once you see that, everything changes.Paper mentioned:Zeng, L., Park, H. R. P., McNally, G. P., Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel, P., et al. (2025).

Are excuses keeping you stuck? In this episode of The Positivity Xperience, I break down the psychology of excuses — why we use them, what they're really protecting us from, and how to call yourself out so you can finally move forward. We'll dive into: The hidden fears behind your excuses (failure, judgment, rejection). Why excuses feel safe in the moment but sabotage you long-term. How to expose the “hidden payoff” of excuses — and why you keep repeating them. A step-by-step framework to rewrite your excuses into raw truths.

Writer's Summit October 10-12This episode is a case study on a 'big scary project' where I've been feeling a lot of overwhelm, fear, demands, and perfectionism. In it, I'm sharing with you how I process through the emotions that come with big projects like this one (shame, overwhelm, avoidance, shutdowns, meltdowns). This is an exploration on what supporting myself through it looks like, how I sniff out autonomy where I can find it, and how I'm doing things differently vs when I was younger and used adrenaline, cortisol, and fear of humiliation to get things done.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin shares one of the biggest missed opportunities of his life—how not acting on advice to buy Bitcoin at ten cents a coin cost him $1.2 billion. Through this story, Jim explores the deeper lessons behind missed chances, fear, and procrastination, showing how hesitation keeps us stuck while action opens the door to growth.  This conversation isn't about regret—it's about how fear, uncertainty, and waiting for the “perfect time” sabotage us more than bad decisions ever could. Jim explains why opportunities slip away, how to shift your perspective around risk, and why action—even imperfect action—is the only way forward. If you've ever looked back and thought, “I should have done that,” this episode will change how you see opportunities and give you the mindset shift you need to stop hesitating and start acting. What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Why Opportunities Slip Away (02:00) Jim explains how fear and uncertainty cause us to ignore the chances right in front of us.  The Bitcoin Story That Cost $1.2 Billion (08:00) The now-famous moment when Jim was told to buy Bitcoin at ten cents—and why he didn't.  Fear, Uncertainty, and Procrastination (15:00) Why waiting for the “right time” is the surest way to lose opportunity forever.  How the Past Sabotages the Present (22:00) Your fears and limitations come from the past—and they keep you from acting now.  The Only Time You Have Is Now (25:30) Why opportunities only exist in the present moment, never in the past or future.  Action as Salvation (36:00) Jim's biggest transformational takeaway: growth only happens when you take action, no matter the outcome.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Action is your salvation. Every moment presents an opportunity, but waiting, fearing, or second-guessing only guarantees loss. When you choose to act—even if the outcome is uncertain—you grow, evolve, and move forward. Don't wait for tomorrow; it never comes. The time to act is always now.    Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Host: Asia Talks About Procrastination And How To Avoid It

Procrastination doesn't have to hold you hostage—you can learn to shift it with ease. In this episode, we explore strategies to release the procrastinator impulse by grounding yourself in the present, honouring realistic time frames, and reconnecting with what lights you up. We share the simple yet powerful practice of committing to “just five minutes” to break through resistance, as well as how to break bigger goals into smaller, celebratory steps. We also talk about releasing comparison—both to others and how others may compare us—while remembering that we are each the author of our own life story. With compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to listen to your heart's guidance, you can move past procrastination and step fully into aligned action.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

The Illusion of Success: Why We Feel Unfulfilled Even When We Have It All What if your greatest achievement was a trap? What if the success you've worked your entire life to achieve left you feeling more miserable than when you started? This isn't a hypothetical question. It's the shocking reality for countless high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. It's the central theme of a powerful conversation I had with Keala Kanae, who went from $20,000 in debt and a life of numbing out to building a multi-million-dollar empire. But as he revealed, the real breakthrough wasn't about the money; it was about "unlearning the lies he'd been telling himself". This is a new perspective that will shatter everything you think you know about success, discipline, and leadership. Procrastination is Not a Flaw, It's Feedback We've all been told that procrastination, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome are signs of a lack of discipline or a character flaw. But Keala offers a radically different view: these are not problems to overcome, but symptoms that serve as feedback. He explains that every human being has a set of unconscious values that governs their life. When our conscious goals are in conflict with these unconscious values, we experience these symptoms. The 11-year-old boy who plays video games until 2 a.m. is not undisciplined; he is highly disciplined in something he values. The mind's purpose is to help us fulfill what we perceive to be most valuable. Therefore, our procrastination isn't a sign that we're broken—it's a signal telling us when we're venturing away from what we truly value. The True Meaning of Your Bank Account and Calendar To understand our own values, we have to stop listening to the "noisy society" that tells us who we are supposed to be. Keala echoes the wisdom of business guru Peter Drucker, who said, “Tell me what you value, and I might believe you, but show me your bank account and your calendar, and I'll show you what you value”. If you're a leader who says you value your family, but your calendar is packed with work and your energy is spent on business podcasts while your kids and spouse are at the bottom of your priority list, your life is perfectly demonstrating what you actually value. When we are pursuing things we truly value, we have inspiration—an internal, self-sustaining drive. When we're pursuing something low on our value list, we need motivation—an external force that is never self-sustaining. The Trap of the "Greatest Human Illusion" Keala believes the greatest human illusion is thinking we can have one side of life without the other. We are taught to label things as "good" or "bad". When we label something as "good," we're conscious of the benefits but unconscious of the drawbacks. When we label something as "bad," we're conscious of the drawbacks but unconscious of the benefits. The reality is that equanimity, or balance, is the language of the universe. Keala shares a powerful example: the Black Plague of the 14th century killed tens of millions, but a mutation that stemmed from its survivors made millions of people immune to the AIDS virus centuries later. Was the plague good or bad? "It was both," he says, because both sides exist. From Forgiveness to Gratitude This understanding is the key to true healing and fulfillment. We often hold onto resentment. The next step is forgiveness, which is better than resentment, but still comes from the perspective that "I'm right, you're wrong". The place beyond forgiveness is gratitude. It is the profound realization that "I see how this benefited me". When Keala went back and re-examined the traumatic memories of his childhood, he realized that the very arguments about money that caused him pain were what honed his communication skills and helped him become a great marketer. When you realize your greatest challenge was also your greatest gift, "what the fuck can stop you then?". Your Secret Weapon: Know Thyself, Lead Thyself This entire journey is about becoming an "authentic leader". Keala defines this as someone who "knows their calling and has the courage to answer the call". This requires shedding the personas and false beliefs we've inherited from a noisy world. Want to start this journey of profound self-discovery? Keala has a free self-assessment that will help you identify your actual, unconscious values. He calls it The Power Code.

Procrastination isn't always laziness—sometimes it's a sign. In this episode, we explore the deeper reasons why we put things off, including the possibility that we simply don't want to do them. We talk about the power of telling ourselves the truth, trusting our intuition, and cultivating curiosity to discover what's truly in alignment for our best outcomes. We also reflect upon the importance of staying true to our own moral compass, walking to the beat of our own drum, and resisting the pull of external pressures. By taking responsibility for and to our own truth, we can make decisions from a place of clarity, authenticity, and self-respect — turning procrastination into insight.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

What if there's never gonna be a perfect plan and total clarity?  On today's episode Dr. Anne-Laure Le Cunff, the author of "Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World", shares how tiny experiments can transform our approach to life, work, and meaningful change without rigid goals or predetermined paths. Her experimental mindset offers a powerful alternative to traditional planning - designing low-risk experiments to uncover your path one step at a time.  We will touch on:  From shiny to misaligned. Anne-Laure shares how a great job and smart teammates still left her internally “off”, impacting health and relationships - so she stepped off the ladder.  The risky jump (and reframe). A first startup “because that's what you do” created avoidable financial stress. The second transition flipped the script: keep some income for safety and treat the next step as an experiment, not a bet-the-farm goal.  A scientist's lens on identity change. Before you “optimize,” observe: practice 24 hours of self-anthropology (field notes without judgement) to notice energy, curiosity, and friction points.  Tiny Experiments in one line: “I will [action] for [duration].” Short, low-risk trials beat vague, year-long resolutions.  Bring the team. Run a shared “lab cycle” (30 days). Success = new knowledge, not a binary win/lose.  Mindful productivity > hustle. You're not a calendar robot; protect moments and engineer creative windows with simple rituals (music, stretch, tea, micro-walks).  Procrastination is a signal, not a sin. Use Head/Heart/Hand to diagnose: misaligned rationale, low emotional pull, or missing skills/tools/support - then fix the right thing.  Generativity vs. Legacy. Aim to make a small, present-day impact you can see now; legacy may emerge as a by-product.  ... and so much more!  Ready to design your first tiny experiment?  Catch the full Change Wired episode with Anne-Laure Le Cunff and explore practical tools for mindful productivity, career transitions, and thriving in a goal-obsessed world.   Links & resources mentioned  Anne-Laure's bio & personal site: https://anne-laure.net  Ness Labs (newsletter & articles): https://nesslabs.com/newsletter  Book: Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World Amazon  Target  Audible.com  Starter read on Mindful Productivity: “Mindful productivity: a sustainable way to work and think”   Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're exploring how you can do hard things, build resilience & beat procrastination! We're diving into that moment when your brain whispers, “nah, let's just wait, doing hard stuff is hard.” And you know what? That's totally okay. Procrastination isn't about laziness, it's your body's way of dodging discomfort. We'll explore how resilience isn't about superhero strength, it's about learning to lean into the challenge, even when you'd rather binge‑watch from your comfort zone. Life tosses curveballs; overwhelm, fear of failing, perfectionism, or just sheer dread of starting. But guess what? Even taking the tiniest step counts as a win. I'll walk you through what's really going on in your brain, then we'll share a laugh (or two) as we explore strategies that empower, not overwhelm. Stick around; by the end, procrastination might just feel a little more conquerable and maybe even a bit fun. Let's start by getting on the same page. We're tossing around two big, emotionally loaded words today, resilience and procrastination and if you're like most of us, they come with a mix of admiration, guilt, hope, and ugh. So before we dig in, let's unpack what they really mean, no shame, no psych textbook, just real talk. Resilience is often portrayed as superhero stuff, people running back into burning buildings, climbing mountains with one leg, bouncing back from personal tragedy like it was just a flat tire. But in everyday life, resilience looks more like showing up to a meeting you're dreading, trying again after failing, or getting out of bed when everything in your body says “no thanks.” It's not about being immune to struggle, it's about finding a way through it. Resilience is messy, imperfect, and deeply human. It's the part of you that whispers “try again” when the louder voice says “just quit.” On the other hand, procrastination is often misjudged as laziness or a lack of discipline. But spoiler alert: it's not. Procrastination is actually a form of emotional self-protection. It's your brain saying, “That task looks uncomfortable. Let's go organize the fridge instead.” You delay not because you don't care, but because something about that task, fear of failure, fear of success, overwhelm, boredom, feels threatening or unpleasant. So you put it off… and then beat yourself up for putting it off. Sound familiar? Why We Procrastinate: The Psychology of Putting Things Off Can Self-Compassion Overcome Procrastination? The ONLY Way To Stop Procrastinating | Mel Robbins CHALLENGE: Stop waiting for the perfect moment and start with the next one—messy, unmotivated, and unsure if you're ready. Because forward is forward, and five imperfect minutes of action beats one more day of overthinking.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

In this episode, Kim Keane explores the deep-rooted fear of being seen and how it often stems from past experiences and childhood moments of shame or embarrassment. Kim shares her own story of a high school talent show gone wrong and discusses how such events can shape our nervous system's response to visibility, leading to procrastination and self-doubt. She explains that these reactions are not failures, but protective mechanisms.  Connect with Kim: EFT Tapping Booster Session - https://courses.kimkeane.com/courses/tapping-booster-sessionFree Emotional Detox Workbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/emotional-detox-workbookFree Everyday Spirituality Handbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/everyday-spirituality-handbookInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kimvkeane/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kimvkeaneYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@kimvkeaneEmail - kim@kimkeane.com If you found this episode helpful, please take a moment to leave a review and tell your friends about it.

Procrastination isn't a time‑management problem—it's an emotion‑management one. In this solo episode, I unpack how shame fuels the procrastination loop and why “I'll do it tomorrow” keeps us stuck. (This framing comes from researcher Tim Pychyl's work showing procrastination is about regulating feelings, not calendars.) I walk through a simple “Head, Heart, or Hands” check to pinpoint what's really blocking action—overthinking (head), emotional resistance (heart), or missing tools/skills/environment (hands)—and how to respond to each.Then we borrow from Anne‑Laure Le Cunff's Tiny Experiments and make a short pact: a tiny, curiosity‑driven step (your “bare minimum habit”) that trades judgment for feedback and momentum. By the end, you'll have one micro‑action to break the cycle today—and a playbook to repeat tomorrow.Welcome to the Pac, please make sure you subscribe wherever you are listening to this show and if you loved this show please leave us a 5 star review in the iTunes store.
