Mark Twain once said, “Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow.” As an antidote to that Ralph welcomes Professor Piers Steel, author of “The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done.” Plus, Ralph urges listeners to sign up for The Capitol Hill Citizen Association, another way to organize citizens to put pressure on the branch of our government where things must get done, the United States Congress.  Dr. Piers Steel is one of the world's leading researchers and speakers on the science of motivation and procrastination. Dr. Steel is a professor in the Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources area at the University of Calgary, and is the Brookfield Research Chair at the Haskayne School of Business. He is the author of The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done.The root of procrastination is impulsiveness. Impulsiveness is valuing the now more than the later… We're designed to value the now. And this was really adaptive for a long time. It's not a bad trait. It's just that we've designed a world to take advantage of every little flaw that we have in our decision-making system.Dr. Piers SteelYou have to deal with yourself as an imperfect, flawed creature and deal with the reality of that. We're not robotic angels of perfection. We have limitations. And when I actually act within my limitations, I get stuff done.Dr. Piers SteelWe're superstars of self-control in the animal kingdom. We're able to hunt and kill most anything because we're willing to actually put in the delay of gratification. That's really what makes us great. But we're still not ready for things that are happening even a year off, much less five or ten.Dr. Piers SteelMore people will listen to what we just said about becoming part of the Capitol Hill Citizen Association and say to themselves, “I'm going to get around to doing that,” than the actual number of people who do it in a prompt period of time. So it would be very good to listen to Professor Steel's suggestions and read his book, because we cannot afford procrastinatory citizens. We have a procrastinatory Congress, and the citizens have got to get them to anticipate, to foresee, to forestall so many of the omnicidal urgencies that are coming at our country and other countries around the world.Ralph NaderTo become a member of the Capitol Hill Citizen Association, click here.In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. On August 28th, 20 groups – ranging from Left-wing anti-war organizations like Veterans for Peace to Right-leaning government transparency groups like R Street Institute – sent a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees demanding they maintain Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Cost of War amendment in the final National Defense Authorization Act. This provision “requires public disclosure about the cost of the U.S.' overseas military footprint and gives the American people greater transparency on military spending.” Hopefully, the left-right consensus on this issue is enough to maintain this amendment.2. In other Pentagon news, the Intercept reports that Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, has introduced an amendment demanding the Pentagon “collect information on trainees who overthrow their governments,” following the recent spate of coups in Africa. Gaetz told the Intercept “The Department of Defense, up until this point, has not kept data regarding the people they train who participate in coups to overthrow democratically elected — or any — governments.” This could become a flashpoint as Congress prepares to consider the 2024 NDAA when it returns from recess in September.3. As expected, tensions are running high in Guatemala following the upset victory of anti-corruption crusader Bernardo Arevalo. Opponents of Arevalo had urged the country's electoral tribunal to suspend his Semilla party on dubious legal grounds, which the tribunal resisted hewing to the letter of the law which dictated such actions could not be taken during the electoral process. After the election however, the party was officially suspended. Now, Reuters reports that suspension has been revoked, following a mass mobilization of Arevalo supporters in Guatemala City. It seems unlikely however that Arevalo's political opponents will accept his victory without a fight.4. In a dangerous, anti-free speech move, the Attorney General of Georgia has filed RICO indictments against 42 individuals involved with the Stop Cop City protest movement, the Atlanta Community Press Collective reports. This is the latest in a long line of attempts to quash opposition to the project, which has so far included trumped up domestic terrorism charges and arrests for handing out flyers.  5. Bloomberg reports that President Biden and Brazilian President Lula will jointly call for new worker protections at the upcoming General Assembly of the United Nations. While the article notes the two leaders have been “at odds” over China and Russia, they align on the topic of labor unionization. The two presidents have found common ground before, such as on the issue of climate change.6. Visual Effects workers at Disney have filed for unionization, per the Hollywood Reporter. Approximately 80% of VFX staff have already signed union cards, demanding an NLRB election and representation by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE. This comes on the heels of a similar announcement by VFX workers at Marvel, a Disney subsidiary. In recent years. studios have increasingly relied on VFX workers in a rather blatant attempt to cut costs, as VFX workers have generally been non-union.7. At long last, the Department of Health and Human Services has announced the first ten drugs that will be subject to Mecicare negotiations to bring down prices. These are: Eliquis, Jardiance, Xarelto, Januvia Farxiga, Entresto, Enbrel, Imbruvica, Stelara and – crucially – several brands of insulin. HHS noted that “These selected drugs accounted for $50.5 billion in total [Medicare] Part D gross covered prescription drug costs, or about 20%, of total Part D gross between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023.”8. The Washington Post reports Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su has proposed new overtime rules intended to “extend overtime pay to an additional 3.6 million salaried white-collar workers in the United States.” According to current rules, workers are exempt from overtime if they make over $35,568 per year; the new rules would extend to workers making under $55,000 annually. If implemented, this would mean a whole new class of workers would be eligible for time-and-a-half pay if they work more than 40 hours per week.9. Per Republic Report: “The U.S. Department of Education announced…that it is cancelling $72 million in student loan obligations for more than 2,300 former students who attended for-profit Ashford University between 2009 and 2020.” Yet, even now the shady operators behind Ashford may still be able to squeeze money out of the taxpayers via a convoluted buyout by the University of Arizona Global Campus. Still, this marks a significant victory in a legal battle that has raged for over a decade, with Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa calling Ashford a “complete scam” all the way back in 2011.10. Finally, in more debt related news, the Philadelphia Inquirer has published a piece detailing how the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt was able to purchase – and forgive – over $1.6 million in medical debt. As the piece explains “When hospitals or physician groups have delinquent debts they have little chance of collecting on, they'll typically go to what's called the secondary market and sell their portfolios for pennies on the dollar.” It was on this secondary market that RIP Medical Debt was able to buy $1.6 million worth of debt for just $17,000. In celebration, “30 proud, self-described gutter-pagan, mostly queer dirtbags in their early 30s,” gathered for a ritual burning of an oversized medical bill. Someone chanted “debt is hell” and the crowd responded “let it burn.” Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On my mind this episode is the simple question of “If not now, then when”. There's an I remember when segment that came about from my trip to the movies to see the new Mission Impossible. We play some sports trivia and I have a story that helps explain to those who don't carry why some of us do carry. And finally, lets talk about having some fun…. If not now, then when? One of life's most important questions. It is a topic I have discussed many times and in many forms on this podcast. Always the same general observations. Why do we wait…, procrastinate…., delay, why is our timing so bad…..……. When will we make that move, do that thing, tackle that challenge? I'm Coach Streb and on this episode of my Old Man's Podcast I will discuss the “when's” in our life and encourage us to pursue the things that matter to us now. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message

I also would like to formally apologize for the extreme amounts of street noise, road rage, and children screaming (??) that were going on as I was recording this & that my microphone picked up. I will be changing my recording location next time to hopefully eliminate this, so pls bear with me as I'm still starting out.

In today's episode, we're going to be discussing procrastination. If there's one thing I deal with daily, almost on an hourly basis, and that's procrastination. I go to bed knowing what I want to accomplish the next day, with 100% certainty that I'll have no problem knocking each item off the list one by one with ease, but for years and years, I could never get all the things I thought I could get done from the planning session the night before. Has this ever happened to you? When I finally had enough and wanted to know why my productivity was slower than others, so I started to track where my 24 hours each day were going. After a few days of close analysis, all the signs pointed to one single affliction, I'm a procrastinator! But with that being said, I'm a much-improved procrastinator 30 years later, meaning procrastination doesn't get as many minutes or hours a day from me as it once did. I'd like to share some quotes from books that have helped me beat procrastination most days. If you find one of the titles resonating with you by the end of the episode, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of your own and read it in its entirety. I'll put the links below.

What are you putting off - and why?   I HATED phone calls… I’m still not someone who is on the phone regularly.   I would procrastinate about every call I had to make. Or I would delegate it to someone else.   Having to handle accounting queries at work did MAKE me confront the fear of phones. I was being called multiple times a day.   It was only by analysing the stories in my life that I saw where this fear of the phone came from.   My dad was an incredibly hard working vet. In the early years of my life, he was on call most nights. I came to associate the phone ringing with him and my mum having to leave for a veterinary emergency. Dinners interrupted. Film nights cut short. Board games folded away early.   I associated the phone with an end to ‘playtime’. BOOM! There was the reason I didn’t like the phone. There was the reason I put off phone calls.   Only by acknowledging this story was I able to see how unhelpful it was to me. In today’s podcast, I share how to get over the stories from your past - AND four other tips for confronting your to do list!   Let’s stop putting things off for good!

It's a common belief that perfectionism is one of the main causes of procrastination. Does having high standards make it harder to start?  Many of my colleagues in the legal profession, for example, have perfectionist tendencies. Procrastination can get lawyers into trouble. It creates high stress and anxiety, and often leads to subpar work and serious errors. But as it turns out, there's no strong link between perfectionism and procrastination, says Dr. Piers Steel. He's a professor and leading researcher on the science of motivation and procrastination. He's the author of the book, The Procrastination Equation.Dr. Steel has a mathematical formula that accounts for motivation and procrastination. It is [Expectancy (E) x Value (V)] divided by [Impulsiveness (I) x Delay (D)] = MotivationThe formula is based on 30 years of research and hundreds of studies. To have more motivation, and less procrastination, you want the numerators (E and V) to be high and the denominators (I & D) to be low. In this episode, I describe 4 ways to stop procrastinating and just start: (1) create success spirals; (2) practice mental contrasting; (3) get super-focused; and (4) set clear goals. Success spirals increase expectancy, mental contrasting raises value, super-focus reduces impulsiveness, and clear goals minimize delay. I review Dr. Gabriele Oettingen's WOOP method for incorporating If-Then statements into your plan for overcoming obstacles. WOOP stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan. I also explain Dr. Tim Pychyl's theory that procrastination is an emotion management problem, not a time management issue. We procrastinate because we're thinking about all the things that might happen rather than just starting what we have to do. Procrastination is a coping strategy to deal with negative emotions like frustration and anxiety. It is based on assumptions that the task won't feel good. When we procrastinate, we have less time to complete the project.  We sometimes tell ourselves we work better under pressure. But we just make more errors when we wait until the deadline is tomorrow. Whatever you have to do, just start now. Resources Cited:  Pierce Steel, The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done Gabriele Oettingen, Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation  Timothy A Pychyl, Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change Music by:Sebastian Brian MehrCheers,Dyan WilliamsCheck out the book: The Incrementalist, A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsVisit website: www.dyanwilliams.comSubscribe to productivity e-newsletter

Most of us have the art of procrastination down to a T. We are good at thinking that on Monday, or tomorrow morning, we will be the motivated person we need to be to get the job done. But all too often, we are still not in the mood and still fail to execute when the promised time comes along. This is the downfall of many. -------------------------------------------------------- Enzo Mucci's Podcast is where you can hear the personal development strategies that are used in sport but can be used by anyone who is striving for more.

The Feelings That Besiege Procrastinators Chances are good that you feel guilty when you're the last one to finish or when you complete something much later than you promised. Maybe you don't finish at all and just give up when you realize how far behind you are. Procrastination can lead to depression, especially when your habit of putting things off prevents you from ever achieving goals that are important to you. Watching the success of others who always finish first can make you feel worthless. As a procrastinator, beginning a task can be the hardest part. These suggestions can help you get started and continue working on your tasks until you complete them. Ginseng — The Stress Buster, Memory Enhancer, Concentration Booster An adaptogen (a class of substances that help the body adapt to physical or mental stress), ginseng protects you from stress. This herb has also been shown to sharpen memory and concentration. This may be exactly what you need in order to overcome procrastination. Time Management Procrastinators tend to ignore tasks by pointing to a lack of time. If you feel like you often don't have enough time to do your work, try these tips on managing your time more efficiently: 1. Prioritize your tasks. Do the most urgent first. 2. Rise earlier so you can get more things done in time. For many, early morning is the best time for working on the most urgent and important tasks. During these hours, your concentration is high and the mind is fresh. 3. Make a to-do list. Post it where you can see it and follow your list. 4. Watch less TV. Keep an eye on how much time you spend on leisure activities such as watching television. Try reducing this time by an hour or two a week. You may be surprised at how much more you can get done! Focus on Glorious Goals Always look at the bigger picture — accomplishing your life goals. Let this vision motivate you to work towards your goal each day. Completing one small step each day will contribute to the manifestation of your dreams. When you feel lazy, remind yourself of what you truly want. Short List of Tips for Beating Procrastination Avoid waiting for the right “mood.” Remember that procrastination can lead to depression. Avoid allowing fear of failure to overwhelm you. Do the “boring” tasks first. Take ginseng every day. Remind yourself of how completing your tasks contribute to reaching your goals. Avoid packing too much into your to-do list for any given day. Refrain from assuaging your guilt by doing minor tasks instead of doing the major ones. Focus on one task at a time so you don't scatter your energies. Shake yourself out of your false sense of security (that you have plenty of time to start it later) and tackle that task now! Follow these tips and you'll no longer have to watch others reach the finish line before you. You'll feel a sense of great accomplishment, and before you know it, your bigger goals will no longer just be dreams; you'll have achieved them! Roy Clayton Uberesult.com

Depending on the research, there are anywhere from 40% - 60% percent of us admitting we make New Year's resolutions, A study from the University of Scranton found that 23% of people quit their resolution after one week. And only 19% of individuals actually stick to the goals longer term. We put off starting a project we planned, or once started, we never finish.  We swear to eat healthily, lose weight, or you name it, only to see ourselves defeated by what seems to be a lack of will.  If we really want to do these things, why don't we do them?  My guest on the show is Dr. Piers Steel. Piers is a Distinguished Research Chair at the University of Calgary, where he teaches human resources and organizational dynamics at the Haskayne School of Business.  Piers is one of the world's leading researchers on the science of motivation and procrastination.  He's also the inventor of the procrastination equation – an equation that can explain every scientific finding on procrastination ever and is laid out in his oft-cited book The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done. You're about to find out not only why you procrastinate, but the science around what works to overcome it, i.e., how to increase motivation.     When you learn the equation, you can use it to diagnose where your lack of motivation might be coming from. And from there, you can increase your motivation on-command. Piers lays it out for us. On this show, some of the topics we cover include … Long-held myths on why people procrastinate  The truth about why we procrastinate  He breaks down each part of the motivation equation and talks through how to work with them The power of context The real problem with impulsiveness and some tricks to thwart temptation Sort ranking the motivation variables by impact THE #1 Reason people procrastinate  What elevates motivation and what depresses it The problem with smart goals Enjoy!  For resources, show notes and more visit larryweeks.com

Do you tend to procrastinate? Do you put off things until the last minute? Join The Planning Woman for a discussion on the root causes of procrastination as well as learn four strategies for minimizing procrastination in your life.

A lot of perfectionists leave things until the last minute and while it’s a habit that helped us succeed during school, most of the important stuff in life doesn’t have a deadline. Which means that if we can’t learn how to do things at the first minute, rather than the last, most of it never gets done! In this episode, I’m diving into the REAL reasons we put things off (hint: it’s not due to being lazy or disorganised) and how to get yourself out of that habit - even if you’ve been doing it your entire life. I hope you find it helpful! Mentioned In The Episode Seth Godin Design Matters podcast

Here is a bit of an in-car rant for you. Whilst at a test last week I was reminded of something that many of us do but in doing so we kill our dreams - Procrastination. We are persistent offenders of putting things off, yet in doing so we are robbing ourselves of the small window of time we have to get shit done. You know all too well that if you are to achieve your goals and dreams in life then you are required to take constant small and big actions every single day. Yet most of us still ignore this truth and put things off. We say things like "Ah I will do it tomorrow", in the hope that tomorrow we will be a more motivated and proactive person. But all too often we get to that next day and find out that we are in fact still the same person with the same lazy mentality. It's not us being lazy, it's us having dormant goals or not having a big enough reason to act. It's the way we are viewing things, not reality. Our actions are created by the decisions we make. Our decisions are created by the way we see things (evaluate) and by what we are focusing on. As a by-product we also allow our emotions to get involved at this point. The amount of success you experience in life is directly linked to how you mentally process what is going on and what things mean to you. With this in mind if you are to perform at your best and take the actions that are required for you to succeed then you must control what you focus on and how you are translating the outside world. This is to be done at critical times throughout each day. These critical times are when you are planning the next course of action that will allow you to attain your goal. In this quick video I will touch upon this but it is a subject that I will go into and give more practical strategies on in future posts and podcasts. For now, take a look at this in-car rant and let me know your thoughts in the comments section. I look forward to hearing from you.
