In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog welcome Shoots for a raw, high-energy roundtable on the realities of building a thriving coaching business. They unpack the psychology of ultra-successful entrepreneurs, the truth about social media "results," how to break the cycle of procrastination, and strategies that actually get business owners to take action. The trio also share frameworks for social media client attraction and finish with a practical "moment of zen" to help coaches push through setbacks and build lasting confidence. Key Topics Covered The Grant Cardone Situation & Ultra-Success Drive Shoots analyzes the legal scrutiny around Grant Cardone, highlighting how relentless pursuit of "more" brings both massive success and massive risks. Key insight: Many household-name entrepreneurs are driven by a deep need for significance and love, which is often misinterpreted as a desire for only money and fame (06:09). Why Ultra-Successful People Often Feel Lonely Even massive financial and societal wins may not create the belonging or love successful people crave (07:12). The bigger the success, the more people often want something from you — not for you. Procrastination, Identity, and Fear: Why Clients Don't "Just Do It" The panel lays out the flywheel of procrastination: Procrastinate → Panic → Guilt → Excuses → Repeat (11:49). The root causes? Fear (often fear of judgment) and flawed self-identity. Coaches are challenged to uncover real drivers, not just address surface-level "procrastination" (13:32). "Net-Net" Explained—Financial Clarity for Coaches Shoots demystifies "net-net," emphasizing how it's the true take-home profit after every deduction — and why coaches must educate clients to look beyond surface figures (10:09). Effective Social Media for Coaches—The Lurkers Matter The person who eventually buys probably won't "like" or comment on your posts. Focus on consistency, not vanity metrics (18:17). Deliver Level 1-2 content, resist the urge to "freestyle," and use frameworks, not random tactics (20:28). Road-tested client examples show big ticket clients come directly from "silent" social followers (19:43). How to Actually Get Clients & Deliver Value Serve first. Provide meaningful insight and help, not just offers. Stick to simple and fundamental principles; complexity repels, simplicity converts (21:19). Powerful Mindset Shifts—Detachment and Self-Validation Rejection is inevitable; client losses, event flops, and setbacks are often a sign you're being nudged in the right direction (28:09). Happiness comes from expectations management, not just outcomes—Charlie Munger's "lower your expectations and increase your happiness automatically" (30:05). Notable Quotes "A king that knows the limits to his desires will rule a lifetime. A king that doesn't… gets taken out." — Shoots "The more you push your success on someone, the less successful they'll make you feel." — Shoots "The problem is always a symptom of a cause. The problem is generally one of two things: fear, and identity." — Shoots "Lurkers are the ones that buy." — Shoots "You're only happy if life meets your expectations… Lower your expectations, and increase your happiness automatically." — Shoots "Don't give your identity away… All you need is within you now. Do you love yourself enough to let it come out—and stay out?" — Shoots Actionable Takeaways Dig Deeper than Procrastination: When a client "won't do the work," look beyond excuses and identify core fears or misaligned self-image. Serve Before Selling: Reach out and help business owners even if it's not a sales call. Be curious, be useful, build trust (16:39). Use the Flywheel Model: Notice procrastination, panic, guilt, and excuses as a cycle. Reframe client conversations to break the loop. Social Media Framework: Be consistent—frequency is less important than not disappearing. Focus on fundamentals, not advanced tips that confuse. Speak to the "five years ago" version of yourself. Use trending content but add your unique angle. Never freestyle—use proven frameworks and scripts. Accept that "lurkers" (non-engagers) drive sales. Ignore vanity metrics. Mindset Reset: Focus on actions you control ("three meaningful conversations a day"). Lower expectations to protect happiness and resilience. Remember: The universe (or your setbacks) may be steering you toward a better outcome. Reframe Rejection: Whether it's lost clients or failed promos, see rejection as vital feedback, not an indictment of self-worth.

Not Righteous Professing Christians Are "Whitewashed Tombstones" - Pretty on the Outside but Dead on the Inside MESSAGE SUMMARY: A righteousness, that comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit, is not like a professing Christian who is really just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. Rather, followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives, as we are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells us in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.'”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that we are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean and pure heart.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Procrastination. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

The Jews' hired lawyer lays out their case against Paul and he responds, not with apologies, defensiveness, or counterattacks, but with a confession about Jesus, the Way, and the resurrection. The trial should have been open and shut, but the governor keeps him around for two years because Felix is hoping for a bribe, and he's alarmed by Paul's teaching about judgement day. At the end of his political term, rather than converting to the faith, Felix leaves Paul—a man he knows to be innocent by this point—in custody as a favor to the Jews.  The Rev. Kevin Yoakum, pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Riverview, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 24:1-27.  To learn more about Christ the King Lutheran, visit ctklcms.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Procrastination is deceptive because we rarely say a direct "no" to God—we just say "later."

The neuroscience behind why willpower fails — and what actually works instead Productivity improvement isn't about forcing focus, it's about alignment. Tracy Brinkmann explores the neuroscience of why willpower-driven focus damages your brain and destroys real productivity. Discover how flow states, natural cognitive alignment, and authentic success mindset create sustainable results. Perfect for entrepreneurs tired of hustle culture shortcuts. https://YourSuccessDNA.com https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Tracy argues that struggling to force yourself to work isn't laziness but a neurochemical warning sign of misalignment. It explains that forced focus activates the anterior cingulate cortex (conflict detection), dysregulates dopamine and destabilizes norepinephrine (and acetylcholine), and can intensify default mode network activity, leading to mind-wandering, depletion, and decision fatigue. The host critiques productivity hacks like Pomodoro when used on purpose-conflicting tasks, claiming they can train the brain to associate focus with internal conflict. The alternative is aligned focus, which reduces internal conflict, stabilizes attention chemistry, and enables flow. Listeners are urged to ask three alignment questions before pushing through, distinguish protective resistance from fear-based avoidance, and complete a writing prompt: “The task I keep avoiding is avoiding me because ____.” 00:00 Forced Focus Myth 00:52 Willpower vs Brain 01:15 Conflict Alarm System 02:10 Ego Depletion Chemistry 03:59 Default Mode Rebellion 04:45 Aligned Focus Flow 05:56 Alignment Over Hacks 07:06 Decision Fatigue Spiral 08:44 Three Alignment Questions 10:40 Meaningful Work Triad 13:23 Discern Resistance Types 15:48 Whiskered Wisdom 17:17 Final Takeaway Focus, why cant I focus, procrastination, how to stop procrastinating, neuroscience of focus, forced focus, flow state, what is flow state, burnout symptoms, dopamine, how to increase dopamine naturally, productivity tips, decision fatigue, how to align your goals, authentic success habits, entrepreneurial success habits, habits for success, habits improvement, mindset habits, mindset success, self improvement mindset, success mindset habits, productivity improvement, productivity habits, authentic success habits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Phelps preaches a sermon on the importance of responding to the gospel immediately, rather than waiting until a better time. Message originally preached Sunday morning July 26, 2026.

Welcome to The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach and creator of Physical Productivity. I help enterprise sellers and high performers stop fighting their wiring, clean up mindset trash, and build work systems that actually match how they're built, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Physical Productivity is built on a simple idea: your body is part of your productivity system. Your energy, nervous system, environment, and natural wiring all affect how easy or hard it feels to start. And if you've decided procrastination is just who you are, a flaw baked into your DNA, every stalled task starts to feel like evidence that something is wrong with you. It isn't. In this episode, I'm taking my Work Like You Workout® framework through the lens of procrastination. You'll find yourself in one of six energy types, and I'll give you the exact move to get unstuck for the type that's you. Because procrastination was never an identity. It's a situational response to overwhelm, and your body is usually giving you clues before your brain catches up.

We treat perfectionism like a badge of honor. Igor calls it what it really is: a socially acceptable way for smart people to avoid taking action. In this episode, he makes the case that being a perfectionist is quietly responsible for keeping people broke, stuck, and miserable — and that no trick, method, or pill fixes it. The only cure is building the muscle of imperfect action: launching the campaign, sending the email, shipping the book before it feels ready. Because "ready" doesn't exist, done beats perfect, and nothing you put into the world is ever truly final.

If procrastination is emotional rather than logical, then willpower and better time management were never going to fix it. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy delivers three practical methods you can use immediately to manage the emotions driving your procrastination, with no childhood healing or deep self-analysis required. From forgiving yourself for past stalling, to a three-minute rule that shatters inertia, to engineering an environment that makes the right work easy and the wrong distractions hard, Darren lays out a simple system for self-mastery. This episode dives into how to put all three to work on your very next task. Join the A-Team. One Mission. One Team. One Standard.

Bestselling and award-winning writers Seth Godin (The Practice), Amie McNee (We Need Your Art), Mason Currey (Daily Rituals) and Bec Evans & Chris Smith (Written) on choosing yourself before anyone else does, protecting the hour you actually have, and why the writing rules you were handed were the rules that worked for someone else.   You'll learn Why "grow a thicker skin" is the wrong advice for a writer facing rejection. What shifts when you notice the harshest rejection you face each day is your own. The case for lowering your standards if your ambitions are big. How an hour that doesn't look like writing can still be an hour of writing. What the word discipline shares with the word disciple, and why it changes how a project turns out. A quiet argument for half an hour a day over the perfect routine you can't sustain. Three questions worth asking at the end of every writing session. Why the writing rule that failed you was probably never yours to begin with. When a good outcome hides a bad decision, and what that means for your practice. The difference between talent and skill, and why only one of them applies to writing.

In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, executive function coach Sean McCormick explains why ADHD procrastination is a signal that a task needs a different person, not more willpower.This one is for you if you have been called lazy your whole life and always suspected that word never quite fit what was actually happening.Sean McCormick, M.Ed., is a credentialed education specialist who taught public school special education before he understood his own ADHD. He founded Executive Function Specialists for students, built the Executive Function Coaching Academy to train educators, and co-founded an adult coaching practice called UpSkill Specialists. He joined me for this conversation after we spent three days together at NeuroDiversion 2026.The shift in this episode is small and it changes a lot. Executive function is not a measure of effort, it is a set of brain-based skills involving working memory, self-regulation, and task initiation. Once that lands, the question stops being why can I not make myself do this and starts being what does this task actually need.Here is what comes out of the conversation:- Procrastination often points to a task that needs a different person, which Sean calls who not how.- Constraints create real freedom, and Sean explains the fixed non-negotiables he keeps in every week.- One full unscheduled day, phone off, does more for an ADHD brain than another productivity system.- Sean shares what five years of sobriety did for his focus, decision making, and follow-through.CONNECT WITH SEAN MCCORMICKUpSkill Specialists, his adult executive function coaching practice: https://www.upskillspecialists.com/For educators thinking about coaching, the Executive Function Coaching Academy: https://www.executivefunctioncoachingacademy.com/CONNECT WITH KYWebsite: https://thevibewithky.com/Patreon, for the ADHD Deep Dive Library, exclusive neurodivergent content, and the Reverse The Mic segment that is not available anywhere else online: https://www.patreon.com/thevibewithkyFacebook subscription, for the ADHD Deep Dive Library, exclusive neurodivergent content, and the Reverse The Mic segment that is not available anywhere else online: https://www.facebook.com/thevibewithky/subscribe/Instagram: https://instagram.com/thevibewithkyTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thevibewithkyThe ADHD Vibe Store: https://thevibewithky.podia.com/This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice.

Procrastination has always been blamed on laziness, weak discipline, or poor time management. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy makes the case that all of that is wrong, and that the smartest, most disciplined people still procrastinate for a reason no productivity hack can fix. Drawing on research from Dr. Tim Pychyl and the Procrastination Research Group at the University of Ottawa, Darren reveals what procrastination actually is, and why it has nothing to do with managing your time. This episode dives into the true root cause, and sets up the ways to finally work around it. Join the A-Team. One Mission. One Team. One Standard.

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of capability… but a lack of belief in your own capability?You've worked hard. You've built the experience. You deliver results. Yet somehow, you still find yourself questioning whether you're ready for the next opportunity.Sound familiar?In this episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I dive deep into the hidden ways imposter syndrome shows up in the lives and careers of high-achieving women. Drawing on my own corporate leadership experience and years of coaching senior female leaders, I am revealing why imposter syndrome isn't simply self-doubt, it's a self-protection mechanism that keeps talented women playing smaller than they deserve.If you're ready to stop waiting for permission, trust yourself more, and lead with greater confidence, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts you've been looking for.

Your breakthrough may not be the dramatic, life-changing moment you've been waiting for—it may be one small decision away.

We can all procrastinate from time to time, some more than others, but did you know that there are nine different types of it?Dr. Mark Rowe, author and Medical Doctor, joins Seán to discuss.

Procrastination isn't laziness—it's emotion dysregulation driven by fear. Learn how deadline-driven productivity habits and fear-based urgency can boost your success mindset when weaponized with self-awareness. Tracy breaks down hyperbolic discounting, temporal motivation theory, and a 6-month self-experiment using public accountability and financial stakes—plus the hidden costs of sustained fear-based performance and how 90-minute work blocks create sustainable pressure. https://YourSuccessDNA.com The episode argues that procrastination is driven by fear and emotion misregulation, not laziness or poor time management, and explains how fear-based urgency can be redirected into productivity. The speaker describes a six-month self-experiment using an artificial public deadline, social accountability, and a financial penalty to trigger pressure, citing hyperbolic discounting, Piers Steel's temporal motivation theory, and Tim Pychyl's research on procrastination. Working in 90-minute blocks aligned with ultradian rhythms, the speaker finished early with high-quality output but then experienced relationship strain, disrupted sleep, and stress-related downsides, warning that chronic stress escalates and becomes unsustainable. A moderated approach using smaller escalating deadlines is presented, along with a final action step: choose one project and tell one person you'll complete a meaningful first step within a week. 00:00 Procrastination Is Fear 00:38 Weaponize The Dread 01:16 The Fake Deadline Experiment 02:00 Behavioral Science Of Stakes 03:57 Procrastination Is Emotion 04:37 90 Minute Panic Cycles 06:10 Fear Boosts Execution 06:54 The Hidden Burnout Cost 08:45 The Escalation Trap 09:48 A Safer Fear Protocol 11:19 When Fear Becomes Manipulation 12:17 Choose Your Tradeoff 13:07 Key Takeaway 14:35 One Week Accountability Challenge 15:12 Final Rally Procrastination, how to stop procrastinating, procrastination and anxiety, productivity, fear-based productivity, why do I procrastinate, productivity tips, deadline pressure, motivation, overcoming fear of failure, fear of failure, neuroscience, neuroscience of procrastination, emotional regulation, how to beat overwhelm, get things done, self help, personal development, personal growth, productivity habits, success mindset, productivity improvement, emotional fitness, deadline psychology, achieving success habits, authentic success habits, entrepreneurial success habits, habits for success, habits improvement, mindset habits, mindset success, self improvement habits, self improvement mindset, success mindset habits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Uncertainty Edge, host Sam Sivarajan sits down with Jeff Panik, founder of Balance Wealth Partners and a financial advisor with nearly 26 years of experience. A first-generation college graduate who enlisted in the U.S. Army to pay off student loans, Jeff has built his career around filling the financial education gap that leaves so many young adults — and pre-retirees — to figure it out alone. From the dangers of buy now pay later to the hidden complexity of retirement planning, this episode is packed with practical, jargon-free guidance for advisors and clients alike. Key Quote“Perfect is the enemy of great — especially when it comes to taking action with your finances.” — Jeff Panik Key Takeaways•       Financial literacy is still a crisis — lobbying from credit and lending industries actively works against educating young consumers, leaving them vulnerable before the race even starts.•       Ask three questions before any purchase: Do I really need this? What will it truly cost me? How long will I be paying for it?•       Procrastination is the enemy. Taking imperfect action — even saving $25 a month — compounds into financial resilience over time.•       Retirement planning is a two-year process, not a weekend project. The financial puzzle is unique to every individual; stop copying what your neighbour is doing. Sound Bites•       “If someone says something is perfect, you probably want to run from it.”•       “Financial fog causes people to freeze — and freezing is often the worst decision of all.”•       “Run your own race. You don't have their training, their fitness, or their starting line.”•       “You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't have your health and your mind, the money doesn't matter much.” Topics Discussed00:02 — Introduction: Jeff's Journey from Student Debt to Financial Advisor05:03 — The Financial Literacy Crisis & Why the System Isn't Helping10:45 — Buy Now Pay Later, Influencers & the Clickbait Economy15:47 — Standing at the Starting Line: Critical Early Financial Decisions27:08 — The Pre-Retirement Puzzle: Planning the Transition Right37:41 — The Future of Financial Advising & the Great Wealth Transfer Resources MentionedLearn more about Jeff Panik and Balance Wealth Partners:jeffreypanik.com Stay Connected with The Uncertainty E.D.G.E.•       Join the conversation on LinkedIn — share your thoughts and connect with other forward-thinking leaders.•       Explore more insights on Sam's website.•       Check out Sam's Two Free Substack newsletters: theuncertaintyedge.com and thegoodhumanpractice.com

Stop Waiting: How to Take Action and Create OpportunitiesHave you ever found yourself saying, "I'll do it when things get better"? Maybe it's about starting a business, having that difficult conversation, or launching a new project. This mindset, although it seems logical, could be one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. In this post, we'll explore why waiting for the perfect moment can hold you back and how taking action now can lead to success. ### Understanding the Myth of the Perfect TimeMany of us believe that we need to be completely ready before we take the next step. We convince ourselves that one more class, one more book, or one more certification will eliminate all uncertainties. But the truth is, the perfect time doesn't exist. Life is constantly moving, and opportunities don't pause for our readiness.When faced with a negotiation or a tough conversation, waiting for confidence to catch up will only lead to missed opportunities. Instead, recognize that action precedes confidence. Think about learning to ride a bike: you didn't wait until you felt confident; you got on the bike, wobbled, and fell a few times. Over time, your confidence grew alongside your experience.### The Cost of WaitingWaiting can feel safe, but it comes at a cost. For every day you postpone that conversation or delay creating content, someone else is stepping up and seizing the opportunity. Consider this: each week you hesitate to build your business, another entrepreneur might be capturing the clients you hope to work with.It's essential to challenge yourself. Ask: "What decision have I been postponing because I'm waiting to feel ready?" Acknowledging that uncertainty never fully disappears is key. Instead of allowing it to paralyze you, focus on becoming stronger than your fear.### The Power of WillingnessThe most successful individuals didn't wait for permission or the perfect time; they gave themselves permission to act. They learned to move forward even when fear was present. The challenge is to identify one thing you've been waiting to do—make that phone call, schedule that meeting, or start that project. Take a step today, not tomorrow. Remember, opportunities won't announce their arrival; they will simply fade away if you don't act. ### Taking Action: Your Next StepsHere's your challenge: identify the one thing you've been postponing. Is it a tough conversation, launching a project, or pursuing a new career? Whatever it is, commit to taking one action today that will bring you closer to your goal. Remember, productive people don't wait for opportunities; they prepare, act, and grow while others are still waiting. ### Key Takeaways- The perfect time to act doesn't exist; waiting holds you back.- Confidence is built through action, not the other way around.- Identify decisions you've been postponing and take action today.- Don't wait for permission; give yourself the go-ahead to pursue your goals.### Frequently Asked Questions**Why is waiting for the perfect time detrimental?**  Waiting for the perfect moment can lead to missed opportunities, as life continues to move forward regardless of your readiness.**How can I overcome my fear of taking action?**  Recognize that uncertainty never fully disappears. Focus on taking small steps and building your confidence through experience.**What should I do if I feel overwhelmed?**  Break your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and tackle them one at a time. This helps reduce overwhelm and fosters progress.**Can taking action really lead to success?**  Yes, taking action is often the catalyst for success. It allows you to learn, adapt, and seize opportunities as they arise.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productive-not-busy-podcast-with-wayne-weathersby--6261465/support. Subscribe today and join a community that's growing stronger every week.

The hosts share their own personal battles with relational perfectionism and outline how an over-attunement to others can cause a person to completely lose touch with their own identity. This conversation offers a deeply validating look at why we overcommit, how avoidance morphs into procrastination, and practical DBT-based tools to break the cycle. Tune in to Discover: The Root of People Pleasing: Why the automatic urge to say "yes" is actually a survival skill designed to avoid the discomfort of conflict, disapproval, or rejection. Kindness vs. People Pleasing: The critical psychological boundary that separates an intrinsic desire to help from an anxiety-driven fear of loss or obligation. The Irritability Mask: How chronic people pleasing breeds hidden resentment and unmet expectations, frequently surfacing as anxiety-fueled irritability. The Anxiety-Procrastination Loop: How tasks tied to a person's self-worth become emotionally loaded, forcing the brain into a loop of stress, avoidance, and intensified guilt. The Courtroom of Guilt: Why people pleasers naturally adopt an "innocent until proven guilty" mindset in relationships and how to challenge it. Do you have feedback or topic requests?

One ten-second decision per message, one calm inbox you can glance at and close. It's launch priced at $29 (reg. $49) through July 26th. Get it at mikevardy.com/10secondinbox (code INBOXTODAY auto-applies).We tend to treat procrastination like a willpower leak — something we could plug if we just tried harder, planned better, or bought the right system. Robin J Emdon makes the case that we've been aiming at the wrong target entirely. Procrastination isn't a discipline failure; it's an emotional one. It's a survival instinct doing exactly what it was built to do, which is why "try harder" so rarely works and why the cupboard full of abandoned planners keeps growing.Robin trained as a life coach with Tony Robbins back in 2001, raised two sons on his own, and then had a coffee-shop epiphany in 2019 that sent him through more than 900 studies on procrastination. The result is his book, Get Resultsology: The Science of Getting Stuff Done — an arts-and-humanities translation of the science into plain English. Our conversation moves from why we stall, to why goals can quietly make it worse, to the one thing that actually pulls us forward: a clear sense of who we're becoming.Six Discussion PointsProcrastination is a survival instinct, not a character flaw — it runs on threat and reward, and the thing you avoid usually feels worse than the thing you escape into.Order matters more than effort: understanding has to come before strategy, and momentum has to be built before motivation inevitably runs dry.Goals can manufacture the very stalling they're meant to cure, because a goal creates obligation, and obligation creates stress.A personal life vision isn't a goal — it's identity, and it's what makes a small act like doing the dishes connect to a fifteen-year future."Productive" procrastination — the tidy garage, the cleared desk — is rationalization wearing a checkmark.There is no universal system; mastery is finding what fits your wiring and letting go of the borrowed habits that don't.Three Connection PointsRobin gives away the full, unabridged book as a free PDF hereFind Robin on LinkedIn (Robin J Emdon) — he replies to every message personally.If this episode has you wanting to slow down before you speed up, my TimeCrafting overview maps onto Robin's "understand first" ideaIf you've ever ended a day wondering where the hours went — busy the whole time, yet somehow off the thing that mattered — this conversation will land. Robin's reframe is freeing precisely because it stops asking you to white-knuckle your way to better habits and starts asking a quieter question: who are you trying to become, and is this moment moving you toward that person? Sit with that one. Then have a listen, and let it shape how you spend the next hour.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination, resistance, and avoidance? If you're running a business with an ADHD brain, it's time to stop fighting your nervous system and start listening to it. Understanding ADHD means recognizing that your resistance is data. In this episode of the ADHD-ish™ Podcast, part of the Reframing ADHD Traits as Business Strategy series, I challenge the mainstream productivity tips, and offer a new perspective: Procrastination isn't always the enemy—it's often vital business information.3 Key Takeaways:Procrastination is a signal, not a personal failing. Your nervous system might be telling you something important about your business, like a task you've outgrown or a decision you haven't fully made. This is how ADHD neurodiversity communicates through resistance.Five “signals” behind resistance: Delegation (tasks you should hand off), Decision (incomplete choices), Sunset (offers you need to let go), Revenue (underpriced work), and Clarity (undefined scope/stakes). Most productivity tips miss these underlying issues entirely.Don't override, diagnose first. Before pushing through with more discipline, ask “What is this resistance telling me?”—then act on the real issue behind your avoidance. This diagnostic approach honors ADHD neurodiversity.The Reframe: Procrastination is regulatory, NOT motivational.Your nervous system is sending a protective signal, not exposing a character flaw or lack of discipline. For ADHD neurodiversity, this shows up when something is off below the surface—even if you don't consciously know what it is. This is why traditional productivity tips often fail.Next time you find yourself stuck, don't reach for another productivity hack. Instead, ask: “What is my resistance trying to tell me?” Then act on the message, not just the task. Your business, and your brain, will thank you. This is what working with ADHD neurodiversity—rather than against it—actually looks like.Other episodes in the series:Ep #315: How Successful ADHD Entrepreneurs Trigger Hyperfocus on DemandEp #317: Time Blindness is a Pricing Problem, Not Just a Productivity ProblemEp #321: The Recurring Revenue Trap: The Hidden Cost of Stable IncomeLooking for an ADHD-informed business coach that is available on demand?

Send us Fan MailSobriety can take away the drinking, but it does not automatically fix the part of us that avoids uncomfortable things. In this episode, Matt and Steve talk about the everyday tasks that can become weirdly heavy in recovery: making the phone call, going back to the dentist, dealing with money, choosing a contractor, or finally handling the thing we've been putting off.This conversation is about the anxiety that builds when we avoid, and the relief that often comes from taking one small action. Matt and Steve get honest about how avoidance still shows up in sober life, why it can feel worse once you know better, and how breaking the task down can make the next right thing feel possible.Support the show

Perfectionism is not always excellence. Sometimes it is procrastination wearing a suit. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why perfectionism kills momentum and why entrepreneurs need to launch before everything feels flawless. Let's be real… If you spend months tweaking your website… Rewriting your sales copy… Changing the logo… And waiting until the offer feels perfect… You are not protecting the business. You are hiding from the market. In this episode, you'll learn: Why perfectionism is often a fear response How waiting for flawless kills your speed to market Why paying customers are the best source of feedback How messy action creates momentum, data, and revenue The truth is simple: The market does not reward the perfect idea sitting in your notebook. It rewards the offer that is live. The product that is tested. The pitch that is made. The service that is sold. And the founder willing to fix the leaks in real time. High-level operators do not build in a vacuum. They launch fast. They collect feedback. They make adjustments. They improve version two. And they keep moving while everyone else is still polishing. Done is better than perfect. Launch the offer. Collect the data. Fix the leaks. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

You'll never get through your to-do list. And honestly, that's the best news you'll hear all day. Oliver Burkeman's 4,000 Weeks argues that our obsession with time management is making us less happy and less effective. The book flips conventional wisdom — what if procrastination isn't a bug but a feature? What if doing fewer things is the real productivity hack? Sam breaks down seven counterintuitive lessons from existential psychology that challenge the hustler mentality. You'll learn where the efficiency mindset came from (spoiler: factories), why Warren Buffett tells people to ignore 80% of their goals, and how embracing imperfection beats any time-blocking system. The core insight? You have roughly 4,000 weeks on this planet. Spending all of them optimizing is the real waste of time. Use the 25-goal method: pick your top 5, actively ignore the rest Schedule unstructured time — procrastination fuels creative problem-solving Treat each week as finite — a visual countdown changes everything Hit play and discover why doing less might be the most productive decision you ever make.

The most expensive sentence I've ever said is "I'll start tomorrow." Not because I said it once, but because I said it every day for years, quietly, in the area of my life that mattered most. When I recently asked you on Instagram what keeps you from following through, more than half of you named the same thing I struggled with: procrastination. So this is the one episode I want you to never need another one for. In this episode I'm breaking down why you actually procrastinate (it's simpler than you've been told), why putting something off doesn't relieve it but ages it, and the two moves that get you out: make later loud, and make starting cheap. I'll show you why the task was never the hard part, why starting is, and the one skill that beats procrastination almost every time. And I'll give you something to do in the next two minutes, because I refuse to let listening to this be the way you procrastinate today. If you've ever wanted something badly and still handed it to tomorrow, this one's for you. In this episode: Why listening to procrastination advice can be a form of procrastination Why ease wins in the moment (loud vs. silent) and what to do about it The difference between relieving a task and avoiding it Why you pay for the thing whether you do it or not, and how to pay only once Activation energy: why starting costs more than continuing The lie of "do it or don't do it," and the creative third option that's always there How to be a two-minute person Why momentum is its own kind of rest A few lines worth sitting with: "You're going to pay for this task whether you do it or not. The only question is how many times." "When you put it off, you didn't get rid of it. You aged it." "What I was missing wasn't discipline. It was creativity." "I don't want to call you out. I want to call you up." Ready to stop losing the negotiation? Procrastination is the conversation you have with yourself in the seconds before a choice, where you talk yourself into "not right now" and win, against yourself.

Procrastination is a disease there is no cure or pill for.    No magic phrase.     It's all about having the right mindset.     My brain and my body are programmed to protect myself and my family.    I do some dangerous things to put my body in pain.    Going to the gym.    Staying focused at work.    I have to kick out that little bitch voice out of my head and replace it with the real Ryan Stewman voice.    Let me remind you.......   God rewards the action takers.    The hustlers.    Many people like to wait on God, on other people........on themselves.    If you do what the 99% do, you'll continue to wait.    As soon as an idea comes into your mind, do it.    God gives you the idea, and it's up to you to take action.    The way you get rid of procrastination is to kill that little voice that tells you to wait.......the bitch voice.    If you think it, do it.   Do it now!    Do it!    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
