Podcasts about Procrastination

Procrastination isn't always laziness—sometimes it's a sign. In this episode, we explore the deeper reasons why we put things off, including the possibility that we simply don't want to do them. We talk about the power of telling ourselves the truth, trusting our intuition, and cultivating curiosity to discover what's truly in alignment for our best outcomes. We also reflect upon the importance of staying true to our own moral compass, walking to the beat of our own drum, and resisting the pull of external pressures. By taking responsibility for and to our own truth, we can make decisions from a place of clarity, authenticity, and self-respect — turning procrastination into insight.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

"Conviction without Conversion" Felix listened to Paul. He trembled… but he waited. And in waiting, he missed the moment. So many today feel stirred by truth, even moved by God's Word — yet delay making the step of faith. The sermon warns us: tomorrow is not promised. God's grace is offered now. Don't wait for a "convenient season" that may never come.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're exploring how you can do hard things, build resilience & beat procrastination! We're diving into that moment when your brain whispers, “nah, let's just wait, doing hard stuff is hard.” And you know what? That's totally okay. Procrastination isn't about laziness, it's your body's way of dodging discomfort. We'll explore how resilience isn't about superhero strength, it's about learning to lean into the challenge, even when you'd rather binge‑watch from your comfort zone. Life tosses curveballs; overwhelm, fear of failing, perfectionism, or just sheer dread of starting. But guess what? Even taking the tiniest step counts as a win. I'll walk you through what's really going on in your brain, then we'll share a laugh (or two) as we explore strategies that empower, not overwhelm. Stick around; by the end, procrastination might just feel a little more conquerable and maybe even a bit fun. Let's start by getting on the same page. We're tossing around two big, emotionally loaded words today, resilience and procrastination and if you're like most of us, they come with a mix of admiration, guilt, hope, and ugh. So before we dig in, let's unpack what they really mean, no shame, no psych textbook, just real talk. Resilience is often portrayed as superhero stuff, people running back into burning buildings, climbing mountains with one leg, bouncing back from personal tragedy like it was just a flat tire. But in everyday life, resilience looks more like showing up to a meeting you're dreading, trying again after failing, or getting out of bed when everything in your body says “no thanks.” It's not about being immune to struggle, it's about finding a way through it. Resilience is messy, imperfect, and deeply human. It's the part of you that whispers “try again” when the louder voice says “just quit.” On the other hand, procrastination is often misjudged as laziness or a lack of discipline. But spoiler alert: it's not. Procrastination is actually a form of emotional self-protection. It's your brain saying, “That task looks uncomfortable. Let's go organize the fridge instead.” You delay not because you don't care, but because something about that task, fear of failure, fear of success, overwhelm, boredom, feels threatening or unpleasant. So you put it off… and then beat yourself up for putting it off. Sound familiar? Why We Procrastinate: The Psychology of Putting Things Off Can Self-Compassion Overcome Procrastination? The ONLY Way To Stop Procrastinating | Mel Robbins CHALLENGE: Stop waiting for the perfect moment and start with the next one—messy, unmotivated, and unsure if you're ready. Because forward is forward, and five imperfect minutes of action beats one more day of overthinking.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

In this episode, Kim Keane explores the deep-rooted fear of being seen and how it often stems from past experiences and childhood moments of shame or embarrassment. Kim shares her own story of a high school talent show gone wrong and discusses how such events can shape our nervous system's response to visibility, leading to procrastination and self-doubt. She explains that these reactions are not failures, but protective mechanisms.  Connect with Kim: EFT Tapping Booster Session - https://courses.kimkeane.com/courses/tapping-booster-sessionFree Emotional Detox Workbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/emotional-detox-workbookFree Everyday Spirituality Handbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/everyday-spirituality-handbookInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kimvkeane/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kimvkeaneYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@kimvkeaneEmail - kim@kimkeane.com If you found this episode helpful, please take a moment to leave a review and tell your friends about it.

Dr. Chase shares evidence-based strategies like habit-building techniques from Atomic Habits, pairing tasks with rewards, breaking down large projects, and setting boundaries to minimize distractions. She emphasizes that these tools, originally for neurodiverse clients, can enhance efficiency for all professionals pushing their limits. Tune in for part 1, with more on self-monitoring and persistence in part 2 next week. This episode is essential for physicians seeking to sharpen focus, reduce guilt, and reclaim work-life balance.Three Actionable Takeaways:Build Habits Over Willpower – For boring tasks like charting, make cues visible (e.g., set up your workspace for easy access), pair them with rewards (e.g., a favorite tea after completion), and eliminate aversive elements (e.g., adjust your environment to avoid distractions) to increase compliance without relying on sheer grit.Break Down Large Tasks and Minimize Distractions – Tackle complex projects like mandatory modules or side gigs by dividing them into small steps, setting timers or task goals, and using techniques like tone tapes (variable alarms) to self-check focus; reward persistence to maintain motivation.Set Firm Boundaries for Work-Life Balance – Establish clear rules for interruptions (e.g., airplane mode during deep work), secure reliable childcare to close mental "browser tabs," and communicate availability with family and colleagues to stay present at work or home without guilt.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

I discovered a great AI app that you can start using for free and then pay $5.00 per month for an upgrade. This app, Gamma (https://www.aippt.com), allows you to quickly create slide show presentations. And then use the presentation to create a video like the one above.I started with three lines of information, as shown below. I entered these lines into the Gamma app and within a few minutes, Gamma generated a ten-slide presentations that became the basis for the above video.Writer's Block: In Case of an Emergency, Break the GlassThere really is no such thing as writer's block or any other block to getting things done. Blocks only exist if you let them. If you move on, they melt away.As the blue collar comedians, say, “Get ‘er done!” Move on!The text for the video is showcased below. Note how Gamma took three lines and made ten slides with the following extensive content.In case of an emergency, break glass. The truth about writer's block.Writer's block isn't about what you think it is. It's not an immovable barrier, but rather a temporary obstacle that only exists if you allow it to.This presentation explores the reality behind the myth and provides practical solutions to get your creativity flowing again.The Myth of Writer's BlockJerry Jenkins puts it bluntly, writer's block is a myth. No other profession accepts a block as a legitimate reason to stop working. If you wait for motivation or inspiration to strike before writing, you'll be waiting forever.Creativity doesn't appear on demand. What we call writer's block is actually a combination of fear, procrastination, and perfectionism, masquerading as creative stoppage.Rather than accepting blocks, successful writers develop strategies to push through the resistance.Famous writers who struggled and won.Samuel Taylor Coleridge experienced what he called an indefinite, indescribable terror that prevented him from writing for an entire year in 1804.Paul Sylvia, a psychology professor and author on motivation, went nine months without making progress on his own book about motivation.Despite these profound struggles, both men eventually overcame their creative paralysis by fundamentally changing their mindset and establishing new writing habits.What really causes writer's block?This pie chart showcases from Research Insights, a 2024 University of North Florida study.Psychological factors including stress and anxiety. That's the big dark purple pie slice on the right.Next, fear of criticism, the lower, more lavender pie slice.And then perfectionism, which is the next as we rotate around.Procrastination.And then other factors.Two main types of blocks.There are two main types of blocks, plot block and life block.Plot block occurs when story logic stalls. Character or plot feel stuck.This is a craft problem fixable with patience, restructuring, and narrative technique.Life block results from personal issues that can drain creative energy. It can require addressing deeper needs, self-care, mental health support, or lifestyle adjustments.Recognizing your specific block type is a crucial first step to implementing the right solution.Practical hacks to break the block.You can schedule writing. Treat writing like a job. Paul Sylvia committed to two hours daily. No excuses. Consistency builds momentum and trains your brain for creativity.Step two, you can do free writing. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes of unfiltered, unedited writing. This bypasses perfectionism and often produces unexpected insights.And you can change the environment. So if one place isn't working, work at a cafe or park or library. Environmental novelty stimulates new neural connections and fresh perspectives.These practical approaches work because they shift focus from outcomes to process, making writing a habitual action rather than a high stakes performance.Embrace fear and imperfection. The best writing is born of humility. That's from mystery writer and thriller writer Dean Kuntz.Fear is natural and justified. Embrace it as a motivation.Perfectionism kills progress. Done is better than perfect.Writing imperfectly today creates a foundation for better writing.The most prolific writers aren't fearless. They've simply learned to write despite their fears.The power of mindset.Move on and melt the block. Blocks only exist if you let them. Writer's block is a construct we create and maintain.Recognize it as a temporary state, not a permanent condition. As the blue-collar comedians say, get 'er done. Simple forward motion is often the best solution. Action creates its own momentum.An act of faith: Writing requires belief in your ability to figure it out as you go. Trust the process and keep moving forward.Your mindset determines whether obstacles become barriers or stepping stones. Choose to see blocks as temporary challenges rather than immovable obstacles.Motivation is not a gift, it's a choice. Waiting for motivation is like waiting for a bus that may never come. You have to start walking.Here's the motivation equation.Traditional belief: motivation inspires action, which inspires results.The reality: action inspires results, which increases motivation.Motivation is generated by the act of writing itself. The more you write, the more you want to write. Start small, but start today.Your emergency glass, smash it and write.The world needs your story, so get ‘er done.Writer's block is a temporary illusion. It dissolves the moment you decide to move forward despite uncertainty, fear, or imperfection.Your words matter. Break the glass, pick up your pen, and start writing right now.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Procrastination isn't a time‑management problem—it's an emotion‑management one. In this solo episode, I unpack how shame fuels the procrastination loop and why “I'll do it tomorrow” keeps us stuck. (This framing comes from researcher Tim Pychyl's work showing procrastination is about regulating feelings, not calendars.) I walk through a simple “Head, Heart, or Hands” check to pinpoint what's really blocking action—overthinking (head), emotional resistance (heart), or missing tools/skills/environment (hands)—and how to respond to each.Then we borrow from Anne‑Laure Le Cunff's Tiny Experiments and make a short pact: a tiny, curiosity‑driven step (your “bare minimum habit”) that trades judgment for feedback and momentum. By the end, you'll have one micro‑action to break the cycle today—and a playbook to repeat tomorrow.Welcome to the Pac, please make sure you subscribe wherever you are listening to this show and if you loved this show please leave us a 5 star review in the iTunes store.

If only you spent more time working and less time procrastinating, your life would be so much better. Right? Friend, I know how you feel, but it's not that simple. Some forms of procrastination actually help us get our work done, while some forms of work are just a waste of your time. In fact, I've come to realise that the very idea of procrastination is pretty unhelpful, and it can stand in the way of understanding why we struggle to make progress, and how to fix it. In this episode, I'm going to share with you a more empowering way to think about how to get things done.Brand new download!

Eric and his friends explore the various pitfalls of procrastinating on pond maintenance, emphasizing that neglecting upkeep, even when a pond appears healthy, can lead to significant issues and costly repairs. They discuss seasonal considerations for pond care, highlighting the importance of timely interventions in spring and fall, and share anecdotes about client and personal procrastination to illustrate their points about the long-term consequences of delayed maintenance. They also stress that a pond, being an evolving ecosystem, requires consistent attention and professional oversight to maintain its beauty and value, much like other home investments. Key Takeaways: Proactively maintain your pond even when it appears perfect, rather than waiting for problems to arise. Mark your calendar for scheduled maintenance, especially in spring and fall, to ensure timely care. Understand that your pond is a complex ecosystem requiring consistent, deliberate attention, not just simple fixes. Be your own advocate for your pond's health by actively seeking and heeding professional advice. Confront procrastination immediately, as delaying maintenance will inevitably lead to more difficult, inconvenient, and expensive problems.

On this "Random Fit," hosts, and NASM Master Instructors, Wendy Batts, and Ken Miller, tackle a topic that hits close to home for many: procrastination and how it can stall our fitness journeys. Drawing from real-life experiences as personal trainers and everyday people, Wendy and Ken break down the various types of procrastinators—from the perfectionists who fear starting unless conditions are ideal, to the overwhelmed avoiders, crisis-makers who thrive under pressure, dreamy visionaries, and anxious worriers. Throughout the conversation, they reveal that procrastination isn't just about laziness. Instead, it stems from complex emotions, fears, and habits that often manifest as excuses or delayed action—whether it's waiting to get fit before calling a trainer, feeling paralyzed by too many choices, or holding off until the last minute to take action. Wendy and Ken share anecdotes from their own lives and training careers, highlighting how recognizing these procrastination patterns can be the key to overcoming them. Listeners will walk away with practical, actionable strategies specifically tailored to each procrastinator type. These include simplifying goals for the overwhelmed, focusing on effort and consistency for perfectionists, translating dreams into manageable steps, and providing a calming, supportive environment for the anxious. Plus, trainers will learn the importance of communication and empathy in helping clients move forward. Tune in for an honest, relatable conversation—packed with insights that can help you, your clients, or anyone struggling to get started, break through the cycle of putting things off, and finally act towards healthier habits.

Ask David: How to Stop Giving a Crap Motivating a Procrastinator . . . and More The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Today's questions. 1. Chris has a question about Positive Reframing and the Magic Dial. 2. Joe asks: What method would be best to stop giving a crap? 3. Ollie asks: How do you motivate a procrastinating patient to do the hard work of facing the task they've been putting off? 4. Owen asks: Should I complete a full Daily Mood Log each day? 5. Owen also asks: Is it okay to copy the positive reframing from a previous DML when relevant?   1. Chris asks about Positive Reframing and the Magic Dial. Hi David! I'm currently on my third re-read of "Feeling Great" and want to thank you for the positive changes and progress I have experienced in my life as a result of the techniques and information present in the book. My question is, when you use positive reframing, and identify all the advantages of a negative thought, but still decide, "Hey I would still like to reduce my suffering, in spite of all these good things. But I would love to keep the advantages too." Does this mean my conviction for change is not strong enough? Or is this when I should transition to the magic dial technique and try to keep the best of both worlds ? Thank you in advance, Christian David's reply Thanks, do the Magic Dial and you can have it both ways. However, keep this in mind, or perhaps discover it later on. Once you start to challenge your thoughts successfully, and your belief in your negative thoughts diminishes substantially, you may decide to lower your feelings even further, possibly all the way to zero. And at that point, you're probably ready for Relapse Prevention Training as described in the book. The Feeling Great app is free this summer if you're in the US, so that might help you along the trail if needed. Warmly, David Can I use this as an Ask David question on one of our Ask podcasts? d Christian responds Hello David, Thank you for your in depth response, that's really handy. Part of me is really hoping I'll want to lower my ratings even further, but I think as you have outlined many times, honoring my resistance is important if I want to get to that point. It's weird isn't it, I know at an intellectual level I want these things to happen, but at the gut level part of me is still holding on. I would love to use the app, however I'm based in the UK and it isn't available to me, I saw on the FAQ on the website that it may be getting released in other parts of the world soon ? I also hope there will be more and more TEAM-CBT therapists available in the UK in future too ! Absolutely, I would love for my question to be featured in the podcast ! Warm Regards, Christian   2. Joe asks: What method would be best to stop giving a crap? Hey Dr. Burns, Your two most recent webinars have been very helpful, especially Overcoming Perfectionism, yet I still struggle hard with perfectionism. [To be specific, I put a video out there that people enjoyed (internally) and that I spent a month on, only to get mostly ignored, and I feel defeated.] What method would be best to stop giving a crap? Thanks! Joe David's Reply As I have said so often, I don't recommend “methods” for “problems.” I use TEAM, a process. I sometimes have the same problem with media interviews. I am often asked to give three tips on this or that problem, like gaining self-esteem or whatever. For example, a Chinese interviewer asked for “tips” on overcoming depression, like spending more time in nature or more time with friends and the people you care about. I am not happy about such questions, as my answer is that I'm a no tips please type of guy. I have developed many powerful processes for dealing with a variety of common problems. For example, for individual mood problems I find it extremely useful to start out with a partially completed Daily Mood Log, and for a relationship problem a partially completed Relationship Journal can lead to some fantastic and revealing work. But as far as general “tips” for not “giving a crap” if you're struggling with perfectionism, I can only quote what the Buddha said nearly 2,500 years ago: “General tips suck! Give me something specific and real, please!” Best, david   3. How can you motivate someone who procrastinates? Dear David, I have a question but first I'd like to tell you and the team just how much I'm loving the app. Especially since you gave the AI a voice so now we can speak with it rather than typing out responses. Now it feels so quick and easy. Sometimes, I find it can be hard to motivate myself to do the self-help work but talking to the app makes the process effortless. It really does feel like having a friend who's got your best interest at heart, and they're available to talk to you whenever you need them. My question is about the role of therapists when it comes to patient motivation. I was hoping you could clarify why when patients present with anxiety, we know they will predictably resist doing exposure, but as a therapist it is necessary to press the matter. However, when working with a procrastinating patient, they will almost always show similar process resistance (to doing whatever it is they're procrastinating about), but your recommendation (as far as I understand it) is not to push them to do anything. Not to help motivate them to do the hard work. Is there a reason for this difference, or have I misunderstood entirely? Warmest regards, Ollie David's Reply I can make this an Ask David question, and thanks. Appreciate the kind comments. As a therapist working with anxiety or depression, I work out the Outcome and Process Resistance before trying to “help.” So, the depressed patient must agree to homework, and the anxious patient must agree to exposure, in order for us to work together on those problems. This is called Dangling the Carrot, Gentle Ultimatum, and Sitting with Open Hands and sometimes with Fallback Position at the end. If a patient wants help with procrastination, they must agree to the five-minute rule, to get started at a specific time today, even if they don't feel motivated. I see it as the same thing: making the patient accountable and giving the patient free will to decide what they are willing to do—or not willing to do. I would never try to motivate a procrastinating patient! That's not on the menu. However, I can help them get started if they need help, but I the first five things they have to do into simple things taking 15 seconds each, like sit in my chair might be the first step in organizing you desk. Then reaching for a piece of paper that needs filing. Etc. Five minutes work of little things. You might want to listen to / search the podcasts for this process. We'll mention a bit more on the podcast. Warmly, david If I missed it, try again!    4. Owen asks: Should I complete a full Daily Mood Log each day? Hi Dr. Burns, Thank you again for all the incredible content you've been sharing—both the Feeling Good podcast and your Feeling Great videos. You're so engaging and natural on camera, it's hard to believe you were ever camera-shy! The Ask David segments are always a highlight of my Mondays. I just had two quick questions about the Daily Mood Log. I often find it takes me several hours to complete one fully, including the positive reframing. Should I aim to complete a full log each day for maximum benefit, or is it okay to work through one gradually over several days? I often get unrelated negative thoughts while still working on a previous log, which means I can't get to the new ones right away. David's Reply Hi Owen, Yes, you can spread it out for sure. david   5. Owen asks: To speed things up, is it okay to copy positive reframing from a previous DML when relevant, or is it better to start fresh each time? Thanks so much in advance, Owen (assumed name) David's Reply Hi Owen, Yes, you can use previous PR! Will include your questions at the upcoming Ask David podcast. Can we use your first name? david At our next Ask David, we'll start out with this question: 1. Zainab asks: Is friendship a basic human need? What do you think? Yes? No? Maybe? We did a survey among our group in preparation for the next Ask, and it was two “no's” (Matt and David) and one “yes” (Rhonda). So stay tuned next week for the discussion of this question that comes up often in different disguises. For example, we often hear heated proclamations on whether love is an adult human “need.” What do you think about that question? Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David

What if self-sabotage isn't sabotage at all—but self-protection in disguise? In this powerful and playful conversation between two life coaches (and dear friends), Dr. Melissa Parsons and I unpack the messy middle of procrastination, rest, and the inner parts that slow us down. We talk about why so many high-achieving women resist rest, how to reframe “boredom” as a sign of emotional safety, and what happens when we stop making ourselves the villain in our own story.   ✨ Episode at a Glance Why “self-sabotage” might actually be a protective part of you The difference between physiological vs. psychological procrastination How to practice satisfaction in a “what's next?” society Rewriting your internal script around rest, repair, and thriving The gift of a “boring” marriage—and why that might be exactly what you want This episode is part life coaching, part loving smackdown, and all about giving yourself radical permission to be human.   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie Visit Melissa's website https://www.melissaparsonscoaching.com/ Connect with Melissa on IG @coachmelissaparsonsmd

In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we dive into the psychology of success with bestselling sci-fi author Jenny Ahmed. This conversation isn't just about writing or fiction—it's about mastering your mindset, aligning with your personality, and unlocking the real secret to goal-setting: self-awareness. Jenny shares how her understanding of her unique wiring has allowed her to write multiple novels at once, overcome procrastination, and stay motivated. Together, we discuss the difference between blind positivity and empowered thinking, how optimism can be built like a muscle, and why hope is a practical tool—not a fluffy ideal. If you've ever hit a roadblock and questioned your potential, this episode will offer real-world tools to reframe failure, build esteem, and find resilience—especially when you're at your lowest. Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or just trying to get unstuck, this is a conversation that bridges neuroscience, personality, and practical positivity to move you forward. ABOUT THE GUEST Jenny Ahmed is a bestselling science fiction novelist with a background in medicine, genetics, and astrobiology. Her books center on strong female protagonists facing dystopian challenges, using her fiction as a vehicle to teach survival, leadership, and mental clarity. She empowers women through both storytelling and actionable insights into resilience and mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-awareness is the first step to productivity: Jennifer shares how knowing her working style helped her write multiple novels simultaneously. Your personality should guide your goal-setting. Procrastination is a delay, not a stop sign: Recognize the patterns, then work through them. SMART goals work best when aligned with your wiring: Measurable goals paired with intrinsic motivation create lasting impact. Optimism is built through hope and habit: Everyone has hope inside them. Train your brain to notice the positive and your actions will follow. Failure is timing, not finality: If it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't mean it won't. Sometimes, it's just not the right season. Self-esteem is built through esteemable acts: Doing small good deeds boosts self-worth and sets the stage for goal achievement. Surround yourself with uplifting energy: Be mindful of the people and energy you   CONNECT WITH THE GUEST:Follow Jenny Ahmed on her author journey and discover her novels that blend science, strength, and transformation on http://www.jennyahmed.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
