Earth shattering news fam: the Perfect Moment IS A REAL THING. It's really about the present becuase other than that, you're waste time "training to train," or preparing to start. Just Start. Figure life out as it was intended - as it unfolds before you in the time gap called RIGHT NOW. Let's breakdown these 8 concepts that prevent you from moving on your now goals.   The "Perfect" Moment Concept Procrastination and Its Consequences: Evidence: Psychological studies, including research by Piers Steel, highlight the negative impact of procrastination on goal achievement. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment often leads to unnecessary delays and missed opportunities, hindering overall success. The Zeigarnik Effect: Evidence: The Zeigarnik Effect, studied by psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik, suggests that incomplete tasks tend to occupy more mental space than completed ones. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment creates an ongoing mental load, contributing to stress and anxiety. Action Bias and Decision-Making: Evidence: Behavioral economics research, such as the work of Amos Tversky and Eldar Shafir, indicates that individuals often prefer taking action over inaction. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment can lead to decision paralysis, hindering the benefits associated with proactive behavior. The Progress Principle: Evidence: Teresa Amabile's Progress Principle suggests that small wins and daily progress contribute significantly to motivation and well-being. Waiting for perfection overlooks the value of continuous progress, impacting overall satisfaction and goal attainment. Neuroscience of Procrastination: Evidence: Neuroscientific studies, like those by Timothy Pychyl, reveal that procrastination involves a struggle between the brain's limbic system (associated with emotions) and the prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision-making). Waiting for the 'perfect' moment engages this internal conflict, leading to delays. Learning Through Imperfection: Evidence: Carol Dweck's research on fixed and growth mindsets emphasizes the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. Waiting for perfection reflects a fixed mindset, while embracing imperfection aligns with a growth mindset, fostering resilience and adaptability. Decision Regret and Perfection: Evidence: Studies on decision regret, such as those by Daniel Kahneman, highlight that individuals often regret inaction more than imperfect actions. Waiting for perfection can lead to prolonged inaction, resulting in greater potential for regret. Implementation Intentions and Goal Achievement: Evidence: Research on implementation intentions by Peter Gollwitzer suggests that specifying when and where a behavior will occur increases the likelihood of goal attainment. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment neglects the power of intentional planning and execution.   Procrastination Impact: Research by psychologist Piers Steel suggests that procrastination affects approximately 20% of the population chronically and up to 70-95% at some point in their lives. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment contributes to procrastination, impacting a significant portion of individuals. Decision Regret: Studies on decision regret, as conducted by psychologists like Daniel Kahneman, indicate that people tend to regret inaction more than action. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment may lead to greater decision regret, emphasizing the importance of taking action even if it's imperfect. Implementation Intentions: Research by Peter Gollwitzer on implementation intentions shows that setting specific plans for goal implementation increases the likelihood of goal attainment by about 50%. Waiting for the 'perfect' moment may decrease the effectiveness of implementation intentions, potentially hindering goal achievement.

Dr. Procrastination aka Dr. Timothy Pychyl from Carleton University is the world`s leading authority on procrastination. For the last 20 years, he has researched why we procrastinate, the negative effects that has on our lives, and of course some practical techniques to finally get ourselves to do the things we say we want to do. If you want to learn how to tame the monkey mind, this episode is for you! Max Out Insights: Procrastination is detrimental to our performance, health and wellbeing, while often leading to guilt, stress, and heart disease We process information regarding our future self like a stranger, which often keeps us from making rational choices Self-oriented perfectionists try to do good job because they like it, while socially prescribed perfectionists try to live up to other people`s standards. Not surprisingly, socially prescribed perfectionists experience more anxiety, negative emotions, and procrastination Our monkey minds are a main reason for procrastination, so we need to keep the monkeys busy by asking: What`s the next action? Or: What would be the next action if I was going to do this? Using Implementation Intentions puts the stimulus for the action in the environment and therefore makes us more likely to act: In situation X, I will do Y Mindfulness allows us to develop a non-judgemental attitude towards our thoughts and feelings, thereby making it easier to deal with unpleasant emotions and stick to our intentions When we think about things concretely, our brains treat them like the present. When we think about things abstractly, our brains treat them like there`s no urgency to them. Therefore, thinking about your goals and intentions very concretely makes you more likely to follow through. Replace “I´ve got to read this weekend” with “I`ve got to read 5 more pages in chapter 3 on Saturday at 2pm”. The Inner Child from a neuroscientific perspective: Children`s prefrontal cortex (center for logic, reasoning, and self-control) is not matured yet while the limbic system/reptilian brain that is responsible for impulses is fully active. That`s why children have a hard time controlling their impulses and our “Inner Child” comes when there`s a mismatch between the two and the limbic system takes over. An amygdala hijack occurs, which means that your emotions dominate your decision making A transgression with someone else usually leads to avoidance. Similarly, procrastination is a transgression against the self and leads to avoidance of the thing that makes us feel guilty or ashamed. Therefore, when we try to get ourselves to do something and fail, we often do anything to avoid the same situation in the future. Learning self-forgiveness is the best way to overcome this Max Out Quotes: “Procrastination is a voluntary delay of an intended action despite knowing you`ll probably be worth off for the delay.” “Procrastination is failing to get on with life itself.” “Procrastination is not a time management problem, it`s an emotion management problem.” “Motivation follows action. No one said you have to be in the mood.”

Best Recipes of 2019 (0:00:00) Looking back, 2019 was a momentous year –2 women completed the first all-woman spacewalk, social justice protests shook the world, and we almost succeeded in storming Area 51. But aside from major world issues, there was also a lot going on in the food world in 2019. With online recipe blogs gaining more popularity than ever, we got to see (and taste) some pretty unique dishes. So, what were some of the best recipes of 2019? We invited Chef Todd Leonard to join us on the show today to discuss his personal favorite recipes of last year.   The Importance of Cultural Food (0:17:30) When I see a yummy dish of Thai food in front of me, I sometimes feel like the old witch with the apple from Snow White: “One bite, and all your dreams will come true!” Food is literally a part of us. But not only does the food we eat fill our stomachs, it also plays a vital role in defining and preserving our diverse cultures. With us today to discuss the importance of cultural food is Megan Elias, Director of the Gastronomy Program at Boston University and editor of the Journal, Food, Culture & Society.   Why We Procrastinate (0:35:04) I've come to the conclusion that the word “Deadlines” got its name because we feel dead by the time we meet them. Even though they're put in place to help us be timely and efficient, many of us find ourselves procrastinating projects till the day they're due instead of spreading them out over a period of time. Why do we put ourselves through such extreme stress and put things off until we have no choice but to run around like a maniac to finish them? Here to explain why procrastination is a result of more than just pure laziness is Dr. Timothy Pychyl. He is the author of “Procrastination, Health and Well-Being” and an internationally respected professor of Psychology.   Teaching Consent (0:50:38) Even though consent is an important idea, it's often missing from many "birds and the bees" talks. This is an uncomfortable conversation to have with our kids, but making sure to include consent in the discussion about sex is important. It might even help prevent future sexual assault cases. So how can we approach this important conversation with our kids? Here to talk us through it is Dr. Elizabeth Schroeder, sex education expert and children's counselor.   Spirit Run (1:08:22) Noé Álvarez's parents emigrated from Mexico to America to give Noé a better life, but his dad told him, “Never be like me. Like any of this. Get out while you can.” This catapulted him onto an unexpected path, where he joined the Peace and Dignity Journeys, a group of around a dozen Native American/First Nations runners who have embarked on an epic 6,000-mile trek from Alaska to Panama, sprinting through lands stolen from their ancestors. Here to tell us more about this today is Noé Álvarez himself.   Girls Summit (1:25:04) From a young age, girls are asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Most might say princess, pop star, or whatever their mom's job might be because they're unaware of the endless possibilities available to them. That's why an organization in Provo, Utah created an annual event with the purpose of educating young girls about different careers and encouraging them to dream big. Tanei Atagi Henry is the founder of Provo Girls Summit, a career exploration event for girls ages 8-12. She's with us to share how this summit has made a difference for the girls in her community. 

Chef Todd Leonard discusses 2019's best recipes, Megan Elias explains why cultural food matters, Timothy Pychyl talks about procrastination, Elizabeth Schroeder explains how to teach consent, Noe Alvarez discusses his journey, Taney Henry talks about her girls summit.

Today I am honored to talk to Dr. Procrastination himself, Dr. Timothy Pychyl from Carleton University! In addition to winning numerous teaching awards, Dr. Pychyl has been a leading authority in the areas of goal pursuit and procrastination for over 20 years now, so I am really excited to talk about what procrastination really is, why we do it, and some practical steps for you to overcome it!   You can find his website at procrastination.ca and his blog here
