Podcasts about Procrastination

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Conquer Procrastination: Mastering Discomfort and Taking Action In this episode of the Elevate Life Project, host Michael Cohan delves into the topic of procrastination, dispelling common myths about laziness and poor time management.   He explains that procrastination is actually an emotional response to discomfort and offers practical strategies to overcome it.   By focusing on physical sensations, breaking tasks into smaller steps, using rewards, and visualizing the relief of task completion, listeners can learn to manage their discomfort and build self-trust.   Tune in to learn how to elevate your life by taking action despite resistance.   00:00 Introduction to Elevate Life Project 00:28 Understanding Procrastination 01:07 The Emotional Root of Procrastination 03:38 Strategies to Overcome Procrastination 09:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 09:38 Closing Remarks and Call to Actiion     #Procrastination #EmotionalMastery #SelfDiscipline #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift #ElevateLifeProject #DoTheThing

Have you ever stared at your to-do list, felt that familiar dread, and suddenly decided that reorganising your sock drawer was the most important task in the world? What if that delay you keep shaming yourself for isn’t laziness at all—but your mind trying to protect you from something it perceives as threatening? In this powerful episode, we shatter the myth that procrastination is a character flaw or lack of discipline. The truth is far more revealing: procrastination isn’t the enemy—it’s a messenger. It’s a mirror reflecting how we manage emotion, fear, and self-worth. While the world tells you to push harder and discipline yourself into action, something far more transformative happens when you stop fighting the delay and start understanding it. This episode reveals three transformative insights about the psychology behind procrastination and how to turn delay into self-awareness. The Comfort of Future Self-Deception: Every time you tell yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” your brain is playing its favourite trick. We imagine a future version of ourselves who is infinitely capable—a superhero who will have more energy, more focus, more time. Psychologists call this temporal discounting: we prioritise immediate comfort over future benefit. And here’s the trap—every time we delay, we get a tiny hit of relief. Dopamine whispers that we escaped discomfort, and that relief reinforces the habit. We don’t procrastinate to waste time. We procrastinate to avoid pain. The next time you catch yourself scrolling instead of starting, pause and ask: what am I trying not to feel? It’s rarely laziness. It’s emotional protection. The Fear Factor—Perfectionism in Disguise: Behind every chronic procrastinator, there’s usually a perfectionist hiding. We delay not because we don’t care, but because we care too much. The thought of doing something imperfectly triggers fear of judgment, rejection, and even success itself. So we wait. We polish. We overthink. Because as long as the task isn’t done, it can’t be wrong. “If I never finish, I never fail”—that’s the quiet logic of procrastination. Safety disguised as strategy. But here’s the paradox: by avoiding the discomfort of imperfection, we create the pain of paralysis. Progress doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from movement. Rewriting Your Procrastination Story: Once you understand procrastination, you can begin to rewire it. The key is not to fight it, but to get curious about it. Start small—break overwhelming goals into tiny doable steps. The brain loves completion, and even micro-successes release dopamine that fuels momentum. Reframe the task: instead of “I have to finish,” try “I’ll just begin.” Beginning is often the hardest part, and once you start, inertia works for you instead of against you. Most importantly, replace self-criticism with self-compassion. Research shows that people who forgive themselves for procrastinating are far less likely to repeat the pattern. When you remove the shame, you remove the resistance. This isn’t just an episode—it’s permission to stop shaming yourself and start listening to what your delays are trying to tell you. Procrastination is your mind saying something here feels too heavy, too uncertain, or too much. When you listen with compassion, the delay dissolves and action feels natural again. The goal isn’t to conquer procrastination. It’s to understand it. And once you understand it, you are free. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

Most people do not procrastinate because they are lazy or unmotivated. They procrastinate because something feels heavy beneath the surface. In this episode of the Dr. CK Bray show, Dr. Bray unpacks why putting things off is often a form of self-protection rather than self-sabotage. He explores what is really happening in the brain when you avoid starting even the things that matter most and why more discipline is rarely the answer. If you have ever wondered why you know what to do but still struggle to begin this conversation is for you. This episode presents a more compassionate and practical approach to understanding procrastination. You will learn how emotional weight, uncertainty, and self-pressure can quietly stall progress and discover what actually helps the brain feel safe enough to move forward. Instead of fighting yourself or waiting for motivation, you will learn simple ways to lower friction, reduce overwhelm, and start where you are. Procrastination is not a flaw to fix. It is a signal to listen to. And when you do, progress often follows more naturally than you expect. Alice Boyes, HBR May-June 2022 Quotes by Dr. Bray "Coaching is received either as support or as condescension, and perception determines which one it becomes."   "People don't resist improvement—they resist being treated as incapable."   "When you design systems that respect intelligence, people rise to the occasion."

In this milestone 499th episode of Mr. Biz Radio, host Ken “Mr. Biz” Wentworth teams up with producer Allen Rogers to address pressing listener questions on motivation, productivity, and overcoming business challenges. Drawing from decades of experience, Ken shares actionable strategies to maintain momentum during slow sales periods, streamline processes, and maximize revenue-generating activities. Packed with practical insights and personal anecdotes, this episode equips listeners with the tools to sustain growth, inspire their teams, and prepare for the upcoming 500th episode celebration.Key Takeaways:-Consistency in Revenue-Producing Activities (RPAs) is key to maintaining business momentum even when motivation fades.-Addressing team motivation involves setting clear priorities, defining success, and protecting high-achieving employees from burnout.-When encountering a revenue plateau, assess the sales pipeline and customer value propositions for potential optimization.-Confidence after a mistake in business can be rebuilt through ownership, creating systems from setbacks, and setting small daily goals.-Procrastination is often driven by fear of discomfort or failure and can be managed by simplifying tasks and focusing on starting rather than finishing.

Rooting into care, building safety, creating positive emotional experiences, leaning into transition time, and getting curious about the wisdom of our resistance. All so we can pull away from the cycles of avoidance, to adrenaline-and-deadline-fueled push, to crash and burnout, only for that cycle to repeat. Avoidance is asking to be met with support and care, and not to push ourselves harder until we feel like breaking.

"Accurately identifying your emotions—what we call emotional granularity—helps you manage them."

Do you start every new year with big decluttering goals only to feel defeated by February? What if there was a gentler, more sustainable approach to creating a clutter-free home—one that doesn't rely on shame or all-or-nothing thinking? In this powerful episode, Kathi Lipp continues her workshop on making 2026 your most clutter-free year ever. But here's the twist: it's not about dramatic resolutions or punishing yourself into organization. It's about understanding your relationship with your home and aligning your space with the life you're actually living right now. What You'll Discover in This Episode Kathi dives deep into a mindset shift that changes everything: your home is not a museum, and it's not a punishment—it's a tool. Like a Swiss Army knife, your home serves multiple functions, and when you start treating it as a support system rather than a storage locker, everything shifts. You'll learn why your home needs boundaries, not heroics—and what that looks like practically. From containers that define limits (using only what you already have!) to making decisions that prevent "stuff creep," Kathi offers actionable wisdom that meets you where you are. The Procrastination-Clutter Connection One of the most eye-opening moments in this episode? Kathi's revelation that procrastination is just perfectionism leaking out in an annoying way. If you've ever felt paralyzed looking at a cluttered space, unable to start because you can't do it "right," this insight will set you free. Kathi shares her one-minute technique for breaking through that paralysis with kindness. Reframing Your Resolutions Instead of "I'm never shopping again," try "I'm learning to delight in what I already have." Instead of "No more craft stores," try "I'm scheduling time to actually use my crafts." Kathi walks through practical reframes that honor your desires while creating sustainable change. Key Takeaways Your house is always talking to you—clutter is just saying "this is too much" Aim for 85% organized, not perfection (even Kathi doesn't expect 100%!) Shopping takes time—reclaim that time for things you truly want to do Don't declutter alone—community support makes all the difference Be gentle with yourself: your body's procrastination is trying to protect you Whether you're just starting your decluttering journey or you've been at it for years, this episode offers a fresh perspective that honors both your home and your humanity. Because you deserve to live in a space that matches the life you're actually living—not the life you think you should be living.

Equalman sits down with Olympic silver medalist and Emmy-winning NBC sports producer John K. Coyle for a powerful conversation on time, design thinking, and unlocking human potential. From growing up in Michigan and discovering speed skating late, to breaking world records by designing around his unique strengths, Coyle shares how reframing "weakness fixing" into "strength designing" changed his life and career. He dives into his upcoming book "Counterclockwise," explaining the neuroscience of time perception, why life seems to speed up as we age, and how to create more "kairos moments" that make life feel longer and richer. Along the way, John tells unforgettable stories—from winning Olympic silver and an Emmy, to running with the bulls in Pamplona and inspiring a young skater who would later race in an Olympic final—illustrating how memories are the true currency of time. This episode will challenge how you think about success, stress, and how to invest your time for the greatest return.   Episode Highlights: John's journey: late start in speed skating, breaking world records, and winning Olympic silver Using design thinking to focus on strengths instead of fixing weaknesses in sport, career, and life The concept of "chronoception," why time feels faster as we age, and how memories are the currency of time Creating "kairos moments" using risk, uncertainty, uniqueness, emotional intensity, beauty, and flow to slow the perceived acceleration of time Practical ways for busy parents and professionals to design surprise-and-delight experiences that expand life through richer memories Time as capital: trading money for time once you're financially secure and intentionally investing in high-return life experiences Stress and flow: why the right kind of stress boosts performance and helps you enter the flow state Storytelling, meaning, and designing moments that are "worth a year" in memory, including Coyle's run with the bulls in Pamplona. Procrastination, pressure, and how John uses deadlines to write books and ship important work. The powerful story of inspiring a young skater who later competes in an Olympic gold medal final—and how that reframed John's own silver medal.

In Episode 10, Kim opens Season Two by breaking down procrastination in a way most people have never heard it explained before. This episode isn't about productivity, discipline, or time management. It's about emotional risk, fragile self-esteem, and the identities we built in childhood to survive. Kim explains why procrastination shows up around the things that matter most. Big conversations. Creative work. Boundaries. Healing. Growth. And why avoidance isn't laziness. It's protection. Drawing from attachment theory, trauma, neurobiology, and her own lived experience, Kim connects procrastination to emotional attunement, identity, shutdown, people-pleasing, catastrophizing, and the fear of inner collapse. She also explains why insight alone doesn't change behavior, and what actually has to shift for real movement to happen. –––––––––––––––––– Time Stamps & Topics 00:00 – Rage, triggers, and decades of stored emotional memory 00:25 – Why feeling misunderstood cuts so deeply 00:52 – Procrastination isn't about time management 01:22 – Emotional risk vs practical difficulty 01:50 – Personal example: writing a first book 02:29 – Procrastination around hard conversations 03:01 – Mistakes, shame, and fragile self-esteem 03:59 – Inner collapse and identity threat 05:04 – Why systems learn to avoid emotional danger 05:28 – What self-esteem actually is (and isn't) 05:51 – Self-esteem as emotional resilience 06:25 – Emotional attunement explained 06:44 – Empathy vs shared experience 07:37 – Why "they'll never understand me" isn't true 08:10 – Childhood emotional neglect and minimization 09:14 – Avoidant coping and jumping to solutions 09:57 – Why being sat with matters 10:27 – Religion, conflict avoidance, and emotional bypassing 11:30 – Biology of trauma and implicit memory 12:33 – Adoption, abandonment, and cognitive bias 13:46 – Anger as a lifelong trigger 14:52 – Suppression vs expression of emotion 15:41 – Coping mechanisms and shutdown 16:24 – Anxious vs avoidant responses in conflict 17:09 – Self-esteem and "what happens when something goes wrong" 18:28 – Catastrophizing and control 19:13 – Why anxiety feels protective 20:00 – Avoidance as nervous system safety 21:25 – Silence, minimization, and relational procrastination 23:14 – Childhood roles: good child, peacemaker, achiever 24:38 – Survival strategies vs self-esteem 25:27 – Relational procrastination and suppressed anger 26:25 – Waiting until you're angry to speak 27:08 – Walking on eggshells and staying silent 28:02 – Triggers as accumulated implicit memory 29:12 – Why your partner isn't the whole cause 30:07 – Shutdown as self-protection, not punishment 31:05 – Why insight doesn't change behavior 31:56 – Awareness without emotional capacity 32:23 – Cognitive vs behavioral change 33:11 – Reframing hard conversations 33:56 – Procrastination in personal growth and healing 35:02 – Childhood identities and family roles 36:16 – How family freezes you in old identities 37:35 – Why growth feels threatening 38:05 – Holding competing emotions about parents 39:22 – Letting go of old identities 40:05 – Why growth feels risky, not empowering 41:18 – What actually reduces procrastination 41:46 – Emotional regulation and self-trust 42:09 – Questions to ask yourself about avoidance 43:16 – Tasks that carry emotional weight 43:44 – Identity disruption and behavior change 44:31 – Alcohol, belonging, and identity shifts 44:58 – Pay attention to what you avoid 45:26 – What avoidance is protecting –––––––––––––––––– This episode is especially relevant if you feel stuck despite insight, avoid hard conversations, or keep postponing the things that matter most to you.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

Procrastination is one of the most common labels adults with ADHD use when they feel stuck — but in many cases, it's not what's really happening. In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy explains why what looks like procrastination for adults with ADHD is often actually brain overload. Too many thoughts, too much information, and too much pressure can shut down action, even when motivation is high. Tara explores how information overload, mental clutter, and urgency can make it harder to start or follow through — and why trying harder often makes things worse. She also explains why vague goals like "start" or "get organized" increase overwhelm, and how identifying one clear, specific action can help reduce overload and make movement possible again. This episode offers a more compassionate and practical way to understand why ADHD brains get stuck — and what actually helps when taking action feels impossible.

It's clear that the nature of change has changed. It's no longer something we plan for; it's a constant state. For leaders and entrepreneurs, this can be a huge source of stress and fear.If you've ever found yourself prioritising urgent but unimportant tasks over strategic projects, you'll know what I mean.In this episode, I'm joined by Grace Marshall, a productivity expert who specialises in navigating fear and change. We explore why we often avoid the important work and how to manage the underlying fears that drive our behaviours.Here are a few of the key areas we discussed:✳️ High-Functioning Fear: We explored how fear often masquerades as productivity or strategic high performance. Grace breaks down the four common fear responses-fight, flight, freeze, and fawn-and explains how they manifest in the workplace.✳️ Leadership in the Modern Workplace: We discussed the shift from traditional command-and-control leadership to a more collaborative and trust-based model, especially in remote and hybrid environments.✳️ The Power of Naming Your Fears: A key theme was the importance of surfacing and acknowledging fear. When we name our fears, they lose their power over us and can become a point of connection rather than isolation.Here are three actions you can take, inspired by my conversation with Grace:

We look at the history of phrases like "a bad penny" and "penny wise and pound foolish." Then, we look at the linguistic history of procrastination, explaining how human nature changed words like "soon," "anon," and "presently" from meaning "at once" to "in a little while."The penny segment was written by Karen Lunde, a longtime writer and editor turned web designer and marketing mentor. Solo service business owners come to her for websites where beautiful design meets authentic words that actually build connections.

Stefan Molyneux digs into procrastination, tracing it back to childhood and the way it creates a master-slave setup in how people see their own freedom. He points out that resentment builds up from tasks forced on someone early on, leading to a habit of pushing back against anything that feels like an order. Molyneux stresses seeing choices for what they are and viewing those tasks as chances instead of duties. When he talks about owning up to one's own wants, it helps people take back control, changing how they handle what needs doing and easing the drag of putting things off.Remastered from https://fdrpodcasts.com/966/procrastinationSUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Pray for One Another in Our Race Issues and Go Make a Difference in Our Communities; Jesus Followers Are Here for Times Like This MESSAGE SUMMARY: With regards to our race issues, it will NOT be through political parties, rallies, elections, slogans, or marches that our attitudes and practices are changed or the souls of our nations are converted. Rather, the deep change, which we all need, will only be through a spiritual awakening. This spiritual awakening will come only from repentance – the turning away from our sin and toward God and his righteous ways in Jesus Christ. As Jesus commanded us in John 5:12: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”. Also, in John 13:34-35, Jesus commanded us: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”. Jesus' “one another” is all inclusive and not just those that look like you and/or of your culture.   The Bible makes it unequivocally clear that we are all made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27): “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”.  You can start real “racial change” right where you are -- in your own heart first and then in your own relationship with God. At that point, you can then lead the change your own community -- one person at a time; one relationship at a time; and one act a time. You can reach out and build a relationship with someone different than you. However, doing nothing is no longer an option for us.   Let us pray for one another about these things and let us get out and make a difference in our local communities. God has placed us here for such a time as this.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.              Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). 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).

Most people think discipline is about willpower. Ryan Holiday knows better — it's about habit. After writing multiple bestselling books on Stoicism and spending decades studying history's highest performers, the author of The Obstacle Is The Way and Ego Is The Enemy has cracked the code on why the world's hardest workers aren't just talented or lucky. They've built systems that make discipline inevitable. In this raw conversation, Ryan breaks down the exact frameworks used by Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus to stay calm under fire, make sharper decisions under pressure, and most importantly — get things done. We dive into why discipline isn't something you are but something you do, how the Stoics battled procrastination (Seneca said all fools are always getting ready to start), and why negative visualization beats positive manifestation every time. Ryan reveals his actual research process (analog note cards, not AI shortcuts), why he reads the same books over and over, and how to inoculate yourself against audience capture when everyone's telling you what to create. But this isn't theory — it's applied philosophy. We get into why waking up early is useless if you stay up till 2 AM, how to make hard things black and white so you can't rationalize exceptions, and why your calendar should have large blocks of white space, not meetings. Ryan walks through his panic rules from coaching the LA Rams, why ego destroys more empires than external obstacles, and how he went from running publicity stunts and media manipulation campaigns to building one of the most disciplined creative practices in the world. If you've ever felt like discipline is this vague thing you either have or don't, or if you're tired of procrastinating on the life you know you should be building, this episode will change how you think about work, focus, and what it actually takes to win. Protect what you own. Next makes it fast, simple, and painless.
