Why Procrastination Persists Even When You Care Deeply (with Jon Acuff)

Quick one first. There's a word we lost somewhere between the factory and the laptop. My new book is called Productiveness, and mikevardi.com slash productiveness is where you can get it. Okay, in we go. John, thank you so much for joining us.

Yeah, it's great to see you again. Yeah, yeah, it's been a while. The last time I uh you spoke with me. was when uh you were narrating soundtracks in my ear as I was on a walk and it was literally to me because as I'm listening to soundtracks, I'm like, John is giving me the gears about this. But I also know, based on the conversations we've had over the years, that you were also giving yourself the gears as part of it, right?

Yeah, I I always the way I write books is I find a problem I have, I go to see if I can find a solution. And then I see if if I can solve it, I see if other people have the same problem. And that's what creates the book. So yeah, the first person's toes I step on are always my own.
