136. The psychology of procrastination

Putting off a task to the last minute might feel good in the moment, but it often leads to a lot of long term consequences and stress. In today's episode we discuss the psychology behind why we procrastinate. Procrastination is often confused with laziness and poor time management, but its so much more than that. Many of us are chronic procrastinators because of factors like:

  • Boredom
  • Perfectionism and overthinking
  • Poor impulse control
  • The pleasure principle
  • Anxiety regulation
  • Enjoying the urgency, adrenaline and pressure of doing things last minute

We break down all those causes of procrastination, alongside my SIX crucial tips for managing your chronic procrastination, from chunking, to the 80/20 rule, self imposed deadlines and using social accountability. Listen now!
