From sending emails at work, to writing essays for school, to washing dishes, to having difficult conversations and spending money, the ladies admit to the ways that they each find themselves ​​procrastinating the most and why. Listen in to hear the hosts break down different types of procrastination scenarios and the ways that Pychyl suggests we combat the urge to put things off. Learn how future forecasting with delays like “I'll get to it later” or “I'll feel more like it next week” rarely ever works, how emotional intelligence and personality type are tied to procrastination and the importance of allocating willpower to what matters.It's time to get started! Books mentioned in this week's episode are linked to our Bookshop.org shop* Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change by Timothy Pychyl This week's ‘Bout That Action! highlight is: Essence Wellness House RSVP to join their next free virtual event, The Mental Health Edition: You are What You Think: Managing Your Mental Health on Thursday, Nov 11th 7-9pmCheck out what Skye & Amanda have been loving this week: Harry's Daughter Restaurant in Jersey City Casamigos Casa Colada Cocktail Mixer and Red Chile Salt Rimmer Well Read Black Girl Festival Sex Love & Goop TV Series on Netflix Soul Food the Movie on Amazon PrimeCheck out this episode's Book EP for Amanda's ‘Done Procrastinating, Time to Hit The Gym' playlist Support Long Story Short and Local Bookstores: Libro.FM - get two audiobooks for the price of one when you use the code LSSPODCAST when signing up for your first month of membership. Long Story Short Hotline: (646) 543-6232Follow us online:Instagram: @LongStoryShortPodTwitter: @LSSpodcastFacebook: @LongStoryShortPodEmail: info.longstoryshortpod@gmail.com*Purchasing books through Bookshop.org earns Long Story Short a small commission.

It's a common belief that perfectionism is one of the main causes of procrastination. Does having high standards make it harder to start?  Many of my colleagues in the legal profession, for example, have perfectionist tendencies. Procrastination can get lawyers into trouble. It creates high stress and anxiety, and often leads to subpar work and serious errors. But as it turns out, there's no strong link between perfectionism and procrastination, says Dr. Piers Steel. He's a professor and leading researcher on the science of motivation and procrastination. He's the author of the book, The Procrastination Equation.Dr. Steel has a mathematical formula that accounts for motivation and procrastination. It is [Expectancy (E) x Value (V)] divided by [Impulsiveness (I) x Delay (D)] = MotivationThe formula is based on 30 years of research and hundreds of studies. To have more motivation, and less procrastination, you want the numerators (E and V) to be high and the denominators (I & D) to be low. In this episode, I describe 4 ways to stop procrastinating and just start: (1) create success spirals; (2) practice mental contrasting; (3) get super-focused; and (4) set clear goals. Success spirals increase expectancy, mental contrasting raises value, super-focus reduces impulsiveness, and clear goals minimize delay. I review Dr. Gabriele Oettingen's WOOP method for incorporating If-Then statements into your plan for overcoming obstacles. WOOP stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan. I also explain Dr. Tim Pychyl's theory that procrastination is an emotion management problem, not a time management issue. We procrastinate because we're thinking about all the things that might happen rather than just starting what we have to do. Procrastination is a coping strategy to deal with negative emotions like frustration and anxiety. It is based on assumptions that the task won't feel good. When we procrastinate, we have less time to complete the project.  We sometimes tell ourselves we work better under pressure. But we just make more errors when we wait until the deadline is tomorrow. Whatever you have to do, just start now. Resources Cited:  Pierce Steel, The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done Gabriele Oettingen, Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation  Timothy A Pychyl, Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change Music by:Sebastian Brian MehrCheers,Dyan WilliamsCheck out the book: The Incrementalist, A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsVisit website: www.dyanwilliams.comSubscribe to productivity e-newsletter

No one has been spared from the strong impulse to put things off for later. You might find yourself cleaning out the refrigerator when you should really be working on your taxes.  Dilly-dallying and lallygagging are a few ways one's aversion for impending tasks manifests itself. In the Netflix series, The Kominsky Method, Alan Arkin's character loses his wife of nearly 50 years to cancer and at the funeral, his daughter who never visits her ailing mother during her illness shows up. The upset father asks why and to which she replies, “Because I was busy”.  When pressed further, the daughter blurts out, “Because I didn't think she'll die.” In this case, the daughter's procrastination went too far.On this episode, our guest, Tim Pychyl, Ph.D., professor of psychology, award-winning teacher, successful author, and prolific podcaster, will talk about why we procrastinate. Since the hallmark of executive dysfunction is inefficiency, poor task management, and lack of goal achievement, this conversation will add a critical perspective to methods of supporting individuals with Executive Function.About Tim Pychyl, Ph.D.Dr. Tim Pychyl is the Director of the Centre for Initiatives in Education and Associate Professor of Psychology at Carleton University, Ottawa.
