You Might Be a Perfectionist (And It's Stealing Your Peace) If you're constantly overthinking, procrastinating, or beating yourself up for not doing “enough” — this episode is going to hit home. Because perfectionism isn't about having high standards.It's about control, fear, and anxiety — and it's quietly running your life behind the scenes. In this episode, we're exposing how perfectionism shows up in real life (even if you don't think you're a perfectionist), where it really comes from, and how to start breaking the cycle. If you've ever said: “I just want it to be good…” “I'll start when I feel ready…” “I can't screw this up…” …then this one's for you.
TriMet has a Board Retreat this week. Looking at their agenda, the first thing you'd notice is what's missing. You won't find any urgency to address their financial decline—or touch on operating losses of $850 million in 2024.The only agenda items to mention money are the “Financial Scorecard Update” and “Federal Grants Update.” But TriMet's problems go far beyond keeping score of revenue and expenses.According to financial reports, every metric related to productivity, cost-effectiveness, and financial sustainability has declined for 10 years.Fare revenue—down 52 percent; rides down, 28 percent; farebox recovery down, 8 percent from 34 percent.The only things going up are taxes and bureaucracy. TriMet's tax revenue is up 75 percent; labor cost, up 86 percent; full-time employees, up 19 percent; administrative, up 88 percent.Undeterred, however, TriMet still plans to expand light rail into Washington, whose express bus is already superior to light rail. And to spend $350 million on reducing lanes for 82nd Avenue.Wednesday's agenda should focus primarily on the crisis at hand: how to reduce costs and raise revenue. TriMet doesn't even have a minimum farebox standard. It should.Our advice to the TriMet board? Use your time wisely. Procrastination is not a strategy.TriMet Retreat Should Focus on Crisis, Not Expansion
Great morning, world—welcome back to Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, I'm joined by someone who has changed the way thousands of people think about motivation, achievement, and the stories we tell ourselves about success—Nic Voge. Nic is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and one of the foremost voices on Self-Worth Theory, a framework first developed by Dr. Martin Covington. His work brings this theory to life, helping students, professionals, and leaders understand how the drive to protect our self-worth often hides beneath patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. You may know Nic from his viral TED Talk, where he reveals why high achievers often struggle the most—and how true confidence comes not from doing more, but from redefining where our sense of worth comes from. This isn't just a conversation about productivity—it's about identity.It's about how we relate to failure, success, and the quiet belief that we are—or aren't—enough. So take a deep breath.Because today, we're going to make sense of the stories that shape our self-worth—with Nic Voge.

Let's talk about the silent killer of sales, influence, and motivation: Inaction Inertia. This psychological trap is costing you deals, delaying decisions, and keeping your prospects stuck in neutral. Inaction Inertia happens when someone misses an opportunity and becomes less likely to act on similar ones later. It's not just hesitation—it's psychological sabotage. Studies show that when people pass on a good deal, they feel regret, and that regret makes them avoid future decisions to protect themselves from more disappointment. This isn't just psychology—it's persuasion fuel. When you understand Inaction Inertia, you can sell smarter. You can influence faster. You can close deals that others lose. Use it to reframe hesitation as urgency. Use it to turn regret into action.

What can slicing a watermelon teach us about design? Turns out… quite a lot. This week, I chat with Vitaly Friedman, founder of Smashing Magazine, to explore curiosity, inefficiency, and why the best designers obsess over process, not perfection.What if your next design breakthrough came not from a book or a course, but from learning to slice a watermelon?Vitaly Friedman has spent decades shaping how designers think about the web. But in this conversation, we go beyond pixels and patterns to talk about something much more profound: how curiosity itself becomes a design tool. From choosing the perfect watermelon to mastering the art of ironing, Vitaly reveals how everyday obsessions can teach us how to think, learn, and design better.We explore how designers can reclaim joy and curiosity in their work, especially in environments where efficiency and productivity often come at the expense of creativity. Vitaly's take? It's not about finding the perfect way to do something—it's about exploring many ways and discovering meaning in the process.From grilled watermelons to enterprise UX, we connect the dots between experimentation, self-learning, and the messy human side of design.If you've ever felt stuck chasing “best practices” or trying to find the “right” answer, this episode will remind you that sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is play.Topics:• 03:39 – The Watermelon Metaphor• 05:37 – Choosing the Perfect Watermelon• 09:19 – Cutting Techniques and Presentation• 13:34 – Grilling Watermelon and Culinary Creativity• 14:28 – Learning and Self-Education• 15:13 – The Journey of Exploration• 18:28 – Imposter Syndrome and Asking for Help• 22:00 – Humanizing Executives and Stakeholders• 22:48 – The Importance of Curiosity• 25:34 – Ironing and Finding Zen• 30:01 – The Role of Enjoyment in Learning• 31:35 – Procrastination and Productivity• 33:46 – Procrastination and Focus• 34:48 – Memorable Conference Experience• 37:08 – Finding Joy in Enterprise UX Design• 38:50 – Challenges in Enterprise Projects• 41:35 – Building Trust and Team Culture• 50:50 – Balancing Exploration and DeliveryHelpful Links:• Connect with Vitaly on LinkedIn• Smashing Magazine• Design Patterns For AI Interfaces—Thanks for listening!

How Are You Going to Win the Battle Against Procrastination?It's just so easy to doom scroll all day, binge watch at least the first season of whatever show someone said you should watch, and all the televised sports that you've never seen before – the ability to do nothing these days has never been easier. Plus the headlines… the markets… the endless notifications that come at us are a second-by-second reminder that we are unprepared. Every day it feels like important life details — your work, your finances, your time, your entrepreneurial dreams — are just slipping further out of your hands. And that uncertainty — it can stop even the most motivated aspiring entrepreneur in their tracks.And then you just drift into procrastination when the answer does not show up.

Guest post by Orla Kelly, founder of Orla Kelly Publishing. You have a book inside you. It's a collection of your hard-won lessons, your unique perspective, your vision for the future. As a leader, you understand the power of a story to inspire change and build a legacy. Yet, that book remains unwritten. The document sits unopened, the ideas stay locked in your mind, and another year passes. As an independent publisher, I've seen this countless times. I work with coaches, founders, and experts who are brilliant at what they do - yet their book project lingers on the back burner. They build businesses, lead teams, and create impact daily, but when it comes to writing their book, something stalls. The truth is, this delay isn't about a lack of discipline or ambition. It's a complex mix of psychological, emotional, and practical hurdles that can stall even the most driven individuals. The Hidden Barriers to Writing Your Book Why do so many accomplished people put off this critical legacy project? The reasons are often deeply personal but universally understood. 1. The Weight of Perfectionism As a leader, your name is attached to quality. This drive for excellence, which is so valuable in business, can become a paralysing force in writing. You might feel that every sentence must be perfect, every idea groundbreaking. The fear isn't about writing a bad book; it's about producing something that doesn't live up to the legacy you've already built. 2. The Fear of Judgement Putting your ideas into the world is an act of vulnerability. What if people disagree? What if critics dismiss your life's work? This fear of being misunderstood can quietly stop even the most confident leader from starting. 3. The "Time" Illusion For busy professionals, "I don't have time" feels true. But procrastination is rarely about time and more about priority. The book becomes a "someday" project, overshadowed by immediate demands. 4. The Fog of Uncertainty Where do you begin? What's your message? How do you publish? The lack of a clear roadmap creates hesitation. When the path is unclear, standing still feels safer. Turning Procrastination into Progress Overcoming these barriers isn't about willpower - it's about clarity, structure, and support. Here's what consistently helps high-performing leaders make real progress: 1. Reframe the Goal Replace "write a bestseller" with "share my message." It lowers the stakes and reconnects you to purpose. Ask: Is it clear? Is it useful? Does it move someone forward? 2. Schedule Writing Sprints Momentum beats marathons. Block short, focused sessions and treat them like key meetings. 3. Start with a Mind Map Map your ideas before writing. It turns chaos into clarity and "writing" into "organising." 4. Speak Before You Write If typing feels stiff, talk it out. Recording your insights often captures your most natural, powerful voice. 5. Seek Trusted Support In my work with hundreds of aspiring authors, I've seen the breakthrough come when they stop trying to go it alone. A strategic publishing professional can help shape scattered thoughts into a clear, publishable message which transforms overwhelm into momentum. The rise of independent publishing has made it easier than ever for thought leaders to bring their ideas to life, but clarity and guidance still make all the difference. Your book isn't just about writing words. It's about sharing wisdom, shaping minds, and leaving a legacy that outlasts you. Stop waiting for the perfect time, idea, or first sentence. Your legacy isn't about perfection; it's about impact. The first step you take is the one that turns procrastination into progress. About the Author Orla Kelly is the founder of Orla Kelly Publishing, an Irish independent publishing house that helps experts, coaches, and thought leaders turn their ideas into beautifully crafted, professionally published books that grow their impact and legacy.

(It can't just be us). Why though? Do we really understand why we do this to ourselves when actually just starting can be such a relief. Do we need a pep talk, a body-double, a deadline (helloGaynor)? Is it a question of lack of self-belief, confidence or dare we say it…fear? Fear of being judged, fear of getting it wrong, fear of looking foolish? Or all of the above?Maybe if we look at the reasons behind our procrastination we'll find a way to motivate ourselves. If we understand what we need, perhaps we can find a solution and step right on up and do the thing. Finally!Now, as always, we invite you to tell us how you feel aboutthis, what's your favourite go to delay tactic…and do you know why you put things you actually want to do, off? there's lots more to chat about.

**Get on my Black Friday waitlist to earn a free gift and be the first to get access --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf Who knew food and business had so many things in common! Today, I talk with binge-eating specialist Amber Abila to explore the powerful parallels between overcoming binge eating and overcoming procrastination in business. Amber shares her transformative journey from food struggles to becoming binge-free and offers insight into her six-step method for rewiring habits.

Key Takeaways The game-changing thought that binge eating is just a habit—and how this mindset applies to procrastination. Why labeling yourself (e.g., “a procrastinator” or “a binge eater”) holds you back from change. How food noise parallels mental clutter and business disorganization. The role of scarcity vs. abundance mindset in both food and business. Amber's six-step process to becoming a confident eater—and how it mirrors the habits needed for entrepreneurial success. Why it's okay to rest and how using food (or productivity) as a break may be masking emotional needs. How to start trusting your intuition through body awareness.

Ever notice how planning a team lunch suddenly becomes urgent when you're supposed to be working on something important? That's dread disguised as productivity – and today we're breaking it down.

Whether it's sending that proposal, looking at your financials, or having a tough conversation with a team member – the longer you wait, the longer you suffer. Sometimes it's not motivation you need … it can be just motion. And this episode proves that's more than enough. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: What a "dread sprint" is and how to use it to overcome avoidance in your business The neuroscience behind why you suddenly remember every admin task when it's time to do something meaningful How productive procrastination still runs on cortisol and drains your energy How to train your brain to come back to baseline faster and build resilience RESOURCES: Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

Jesus Followers Need to Acknowledge the Sufficiency of Jesus, Through Praise, Irrespective of Our Trials and Problems MESSAGE SUMMARY: Some of us and some of our acquaintances have gone through horrendous circumstances. Therefore, we ask, given these circumstances, how can we rejoice in the Lord? Paul tells us, in 2 Corinthians 12:10, that Jesus Followers need to acknowledge the sufficiency of Jesus, through praise and thanksgiving, irrespective of our trials and problems: “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". To fulfill God's exhortation “to rejoice always”, you can rejoice “always” if you keep your eyes on Jesus. David tells us, in Psalm 30:4, to: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”. Paul instructs us for continuous thanksgiving in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.". TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because 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).

If you think your growth problem is about tactics, targets, or team structure, this episode might sting, in the best way. I'm joined by Emma Thompson, The Sales Therapist, who helps founders, leaders, and sales teams uncover the real issue: the story they're telling themselves. She helps people face the thought behind their behaviour, not just the behaviour itself. If your go-to-market team feels stuck, scared, or sabotaging progress, this one's for you. Expect a few uncomfortable moments, the kind that lead to growth. You Can't Out-Strategise Your Nervous System Emma doesn't fix symptoms, she finds causes. Procrastination, burnout, and perfectionism aren't strategy problems, they're protection mechanisms. Until you find the thought behind your behaviour, you'll keep reacting and calling it leadership. You're not short on tactics. You're short on insight. Meet The Sales Therapist Emma became a hypnotherapist and coach after confronting her own childhood conditioning. Her work helps clients separate who they were taught to be from who they choose to be. Her process is built on one structure: Thought → Feeling → Behaviour → Identity Working backwards: Identify the behaviour causing friction. Find the feeling underneath it. Trace it to the root thought or story you're still running. Question that story, mark it in red, and rewrite it. Why “Not Enough” Runs the Show Every human Emma works with carries some form of “I'm not enough.” Those stories form early, between ages 0 and 7, and quietly dictate your adult life until you rewrite them. Perfectionism? A response to shame. Control? A response to fear. People-pleasing? A response to rejection. Even a stable, loving childhood can script unrealistic expectations for how life and leadership “should” look. Three Blind Spots: Money, Conflict, Identity Money: Childhood exposure to financial stress or “be humble” messaging leads to founders who fear being “too much.” They either hoard or overspend, both are control responses. Conflict: We're wired to see discomfort as danger. In business, it's a growth signal. The more you face discomfort, the stronger your neural pathways for courage become. Identity: Marcus and Emma explore five traps: Confusing your role with your identity. Performing self-awareness while staying defensive. Worshipping willpower instead of rewiring the subconscious. Waiting for perfection before acting. Using trauma as fuel until it burns you. Response Over Reaction A feeling lasts about 90 seconds. The thought beneath it keeps it alive. When the wave hits, stop, breathe, and scan your body. Let the feeling fade before you think. Then ask: what thought started that? You'll notice logic always arrives second. Rebuilding Internal Validation External praise bounces off if your internal narrative rejects it. Emma teaches clients to build an Evidence Shelf: External evidence: moments of positive feedback. Internal validation: self-statements in your own language (“I handled that well,” “I'm capable”). Journaling reinforces these new beliefs. Handwriting engages more of the brain. Emma's “I Am” prompts and Marcus's favourite ABCDE model (by Dr. Albert Ellis) help rewrite the script: A: Activating event B: Belief C: Consequence D: Dispute E: Effect From Protection to Purpose The voice that says “this is woo-woo” is the voice keeping you small. Improve by 0.1% a day and you'll be 43% better in a year. That's the compound effect of facing what's uncomfortable. Ask yourself: What belief am I defending that no longer serves me? Am I living by choice or conditioning? What's the emotional cost of staying the same? Am I leading or just reacting with authority? What part of me needs to heal so I can lead cleanly?

Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast. Show Highlights:Robin's journey: a 2019 face-palm moment that changed everythingThe prevalence of procrastination The COVID-19 shutdown—and an opportunity to do meaningful researchRobin's embarrassment about his procrastination problemThe structure of Robin's book, GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, divided into three specific sections“Money is infinite; you can always make more. Your time and life are finite. Procrastination greatly impacts your ‘time account'.”Momentum is the missing link to productivity—and this creates lifestyle freedom.To get into “the productivity groove,” you need an inner productivity team: the Conductor (dopamine), the Fun-Sized Warrior (noradrenaline), and the Scholar (acetylcholine).Assessing your threat modality vs. your reward modalityUnderstanding accountability–and how it drives resultsResources:Connect with Robin J.
