In this week's 'Wisdom' episode, we explore the connection between ADHD, perfectionism, and burnout, and how these patterns often shape our daily lives without us realising. I've also written about this deeply personal topic in Chapter 6 (Prevent Burnout) of my upcoming new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit. On today's episode, we revisit conversations with Natalie Englander, an accredited senior CBT therapist and Michaela Thomas, a Clinical Psychologist, coach and author.From procrastination and people-pleasing to self-criticism and the pressure to keep going, we unpack the emotional toll perfectionism can take. We also discuss practical tools like mindfulness and how reframing perfectionism with curiosity and compassion can help us work with our brains, not against them.

Don't put off listening to this episode! Procrastination is often seen as humorous or harmless, but it can quietly impact our lives in significant ways. We all do it—whether it's delaying a project, avoiding a hard conversation, or putting off something we know God is calling us to do. But procrastination isn't just about laziness. In this episode, Haley and Dustin dig into what's really going on beneath the surface and explore five key reasons why we procrastinate.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I talk about something that can feel overwhelming for a lot of us: taxes and bookkeeping, especially if you're a self-employed person. I share why having a positive mindset around money stuff really matters and how it can actually make tax season a lot less stressful. I also introduce my new workbook, which is designed to help you move past some of those mindset blocks that can make dealing with taxes feel so heavy. Throughout our chat, I offer practical tips, like why it's so important to have a separate bank account for your business, and how setting up just a few basic expense categories can make a big difference in staying organized. Join me in this episode and feel empowered to take small, proactive steps with your finances so you can ditch the stress and focus on the creative work you love. Also mentioned in today's episode:  03:22  The Importance of Bookkeeping 07:13  Setting Up for Success: Business Bank Accounts 09:57  Mid-Year Check-In and Action Steps   Takeaways The mindset around taxes can significantly impact financial management. Bookkeeping should be done consistently throughout the year. Procrastination in bookkeeping leads to increased stress at tax time. Having a separate business bank account simplifies financial tracking. Every transaction needs to be categorized for accurate tax reporting. Doing any bookkeeping now reduces work at tax time. Mid-year is a great time to assess your financial organization. Setting up expense categories can be done easily with a spreadsheet. A visual guide to tax deductions can help streamline the process. Taking small steps now can lead to greater financial peace later.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!  Every review makes a difference by telling Apple or Spotify to show the Sunlight Tax podcast to new audiences.   Links: Link to pre-order my book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed.

Think your teen is just being lazy? Think again. Procrastination isn't laziness—it's often rooted in fear, emotional overwhelm, or high expectations. In this episode, host Aaron speaks with counsellor Paul Lim to unpack why teens struggle to get started. Paul explains that procrastination is a symptom, not the root—often tied to self-doubt and pressure.He challenges parents to reflect: could our own fears or need for control be shaping the parent-child dynamic?

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Let's be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It's burning you out. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who've been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working. You'll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I've used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ The real reason you're procrastinating (hint: it's not laziness) ↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote ↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards ↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're taking a look at something that impacts us all - Procrastination.In this episode, Galen brings to light the addictive nature of procrastination. When we actively avoid things we need to do - and even things we may want to do - it erodes our confidence. We may even take other actions that cause us harm. I look at procrastination as one of the four aggravations: Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentment. These are all patterns of belief and behavior that get in the way of a person's happiness. So, while nobody ‘craves' these four aggravations, they do fit my definition of addiction: Any behavior someone continues to do despite it bringing negative consequences into their life.This brings the concept of addiction to everyone's doorstep. Most of us have experienced any or all of these four aggravations at some point… so why do we continue to do these things when they are getting in the way of our progress and desires?Any pattern of behavior that stops us from living the life we want to live should be addressed. So let's dive into the roots of procrastination and discuss ways to break free of this habit for good.Tommy discussesThe 4 Aggravations: Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentmentHow to overcome procrastinationThe impact that one small step can makeWhy you don't need labelsEveryone's recovery journey is differentFurther Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn't just about task lists—it's about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don't avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping. Key Takeaways: What the Frog Really Is: It's that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it's costing you peace and progress. The Myth of Graduation: You don't outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier. 10 Seconds of Courage: You don't need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything. Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start. Don't Over-Prepare: High performers don't “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on. Quote from the Episode: “Frogs don't disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.” Actionable Items: Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it. Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap. Don't wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move. Use the momentum from one win to build into the next. Hard things don't go away. But you don't need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Send us a textHave you ever beaten yourself up for procrastinating, assuming it meant you were lazy or unmotivated?  That you should do more?What if your scrolling, fridge-checking, or mental fog is not a flaw — but a wise signal from your nervous system asking for safety?In this validating episode, Dr. Amen Kaur reframes procrastination as a freeze response — not failure. Drawing on trauma science, nervous system healing, and feminine-coded success psychology, she explores how the brain's amygdala, cortisol response, and prefrontal cortex interplay when fear of failure or rejection is triggered.✨ Inspired by the work of Bessel van der Kolk and others, you'll discover how trauma lives in the body and why procrastination often protects you from unseen emotional threat.You'll also explore:Why moderate “delays” enhance creativity (Einstein & Beatles style)How dopamine and incubation can restore motivation3 powerful strategies to shift from freeze to flow (without shame)You are not lazy. You are intelligent. And your body is doing its best to keep you safe while you grow.

Today's guest is one of my executive function coaching clients, Helena Bowen. Helena is a speaker coach and speechwriter and supports speakers for TED, TEDx, and other major events. She has ADHD and came on the show to share her experience and what she's learned about herself and her brain over the years. We talk about how Helena is learning to move beyond the frustrating and self-critical thought: “I know what to do, so why can't I just do it?” Through coaching and her own experiments and data collection, she's shifting away from viewing her struggles as character flaws—and instead, getting curious about what's really going on.You'll hear Helena describe how she discovered that what looked like task initiation challenges were actually self-regulation challenges - moments of getting stuck while avoiding the difficult emotions that came up when faced with certain tasks. She opens up about the creative and often unexpected strategies that help her follow through - timers everywhere, mood tracking with the How We Feel app, absurdly tiny task breakdowns, and even art supplies and a foundation brush to outsmart her own brain and build systems that actually work for her. Doing things differently is part of being neurodivergent, and Helena rocks it and then some. I'm excited to share this conversation. I'm so proud of Helena and the work she's done for herself in coaching over the last year and a half. I hope you'll see yourself in Helena's story, feel less alone, and maybe even feel brave enough to try something different. I know I have learned a lot from her approach to her EF challenges, so I hope you do, too!Here are the show notes from today's episode: Learn More About Helena BowenWebsitehttps://www.helenabowen.comInstagram and TikTok@helenaspeakingLearn More about Procrastination and MoreWorld's Leading Expert On How To Solve Procrastination - Dr Tim Pychylhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGIUtVu7w4YStruggle Care Ep. 70: How to Coach Your Executive Functioning with Hannah Choihttps://www.strugglecare.com/podcast-rss/70-how-to-coach-your-executive-functioning-with-hannah-choiEp 11: Procrastination: Why We Wait & What to Do About Ithttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/podcast?wchannelid=y1lzulxlcs&wmediaid=n2bmc91r6dEp 43: Creativity & Executive Function: How to Enjoy the Brain Benefits of Eachhttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/podcast?wchannelid=y1lzulxlcs&wmediaid=2o3uog9wpoEp 63: Big Tasks, Tiny Steps: A Procrastinator's Guide to Getting Stuff Donehttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/podcast?wchannelid=y1lzulxlcs&wmediaid=ww20vsahvw

Together, they unpack the four universal immortality narratives, the dangers of mind uploading, and why AI might become humanity's next god or destroyer. You'll discover how legacy, ego, functional medicine, and even fasting and ketosis play into our fear of death.

Leave us a review and we'll shout you out in an upcoming episode: Here's how

You manage to get the appointment, which at the moment is seriously job well done.  Trying to get hold of clients, when everyone is working from home is currently a character building exercise.  You ask permission to ask questions.  Well done!  You are now in the top 1% pf salespeople in Japan.  You do ask your questions and quickly realise you have just what they need.  Bingo! We are going to do a deal here today, so you are getting pumped.  But you don't do a deal, in fact you leave with nothing but your deflated ego and damaged confidence.  The finish line was right there in front of you and you fell down short.  Why? This is one of the most frustrating things in sales.  You do all of the right things or so you think and then you don't get the deal.  You start analysing what went wrong.  Let me save you some time on that one.  You didn't ask your questions in the right way.  Finding out things like: what they want, where they are now and where they want to be, are all brilliant questions.  They won't do the deal though, because you have missed one vital step. That step is to ask the question about where they want to be, and ask it in a specific way.  We can say, “so you have mentioned to me the current state of play in the business, can you now please allow me to understand where you want the business to be going forward?”.  Good try, but no cigar.  That question needs an addendum.  We need to ask it this way, “so you have mentioned to me the current state of play in the business, can you now please allow me to understand where you want the business to be going forward and what are the implications, if you don't get there fast enough?”. This is a clever phrasing of the question, because it is no longer about whether they can get there or not, but can they get there fast enough.  Often, the buyer is sitting there listening to us, but thinking to themselves, “that is all very true and we will work on all of that – BY OURSELVES”.  That may be the case, but the world has not stopped, so that they can get their act together at their pace, when they are ready, in the fullness of time.  No, they have competitors and are engaged in a life and death struggle for survival and in that fierce contest, speed to market is a big factor.  This is where we come in. The question is a good one because it challenges their ability to get it done themselves internally and done fast enough.  They have to allocate scarce resources to this project and they are already quite busy with what is on their plate now.  We can provide that high level of expertise immediately and make a big difference.  The best plan in the world never executed is no help.  Procrastination affects people and institutions.  Getting stuff done inside companies can be excruciatingly slow.  So many meetings required, so may sign offs, so much paperwork and bureaucracy to wade through. Having a problem and doing anything about it are different things.  As the salesperson, the first thing we learn is that the client is never on our timetable.  You need that deal now but they don't feel any sense of urgency.  We have to make sure that sense of the size of the gap between where they are now and where they need to be is enormous.  So vast that they just won't be able to do it by themselves.  Also, we have to create that sense of urgency that the cost of doing nothing is not zero.   We have to paint the picture of the opportunity cost of being too slow to get going and how their competitors are active and moving forward, while they are lagging behind.  If we don't do this well they will imagine they can do it by themselves at their leisure.  The person we are talking to is thinking they can be a hero to their boss by fixing the problem with no need to hire external solution providers.  We could say to them,  “By applying our solution now, you will speed up the opportunity to gain increased revenues.  These additional revenues will not only pay for our solution very quickly but will build a war chest for you to be more agile in taking on your competitors”. That won't work.  Why? Because it is a statement from a salesperson, trying to sell something. Instead, we need to extinguish that false hope of doing it themselves at their leisure, by pointing out through asking well constructed questions, the folly of that approach.  For example, “If by applying our solution now, would it be beneficial to you to speed up the opportunity to gain increased revenues?”.  After they say, “yes”, we continue.   “If these additional revenues allowed you to not only pay for our solution very quickly, but also build a war chest for you to be more agile in taking on your competitors, would that assist your business?”. We need to be sensitive to the client becoming our competitor for the needed solutions.  We can most easily attack that false flag by raising the issue of speed.  Few companies can move as quickly as they need to and our agility becomes our competitive advantage, as a solution provider.      

Procrastination isn't just stealing your time—it's stealing your profits.

Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Duff McDuffee, a coach, hypnotist, and master of the unconscious mind, to unravel why high performers often burn out despite their drive. Duff introduces the concept of the "punishment paradigm"—a fear-based approach to productivity—and offers a refreshing alternative: the "progress paradigm." Together, they explore practical strategies to break free from hustle culture, access joy-driven motivation, and build sustainable habits through flow, self-compassion, and pattern-interrupt techniques. About the Guest – Duff McDuffee:Duff McDuffee is a transformative coach and hypnotist who specializes in helping neurodivergent entrepreneurs and creatives reconnect with joy, motivation, and flow. His approach bridges neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical coaching to support clients in breaking out of burnout and shifting from fear-based productivity to fulfillment-driven action. Key Takeaways: The “punishment paradigm” trains us to rely on fear and pressure for motivation, leading to burnout and procrastination. Flow is accessible to anyone through practices like pattern interrupts, mental rehearsal, and reconnecting with your “why.” Self-compassion outperforms self-discipline in long-term motivation and resilience. Rewiring your habits begins with noticing language like “I have to” and replacing it with “I get to.” High performance doesn't require suffering—it can come from ease, alignment, and inner joy.

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.
