The question we're asking today is how can you leave procrastination in the past. One of the things that we love about this show is the community that we've built and the fact that I suppose we've created something where you feel vulnerable enough to tell us what's going on in your lives and the amount of times we get messages from people saying I suffer with procrastination. How do I solve it? Um so we thought we'd make an episode about it. I'm here as always with my co-host Damian Hughes. So first of all for people that are thinking procrastination, I need a definition from someone as bright as D H over here.
But how how do you sum up procrastination? Well if you look at the etymology of the word, the uh the original Latin, it talks about putting a task off until tomorrow. So It's about intentionally putting off something that you know needs to be done. I mean, recently we've had a great article in
The New York Times that Spoke to a professor of motivational psychology called Dr. Pierce Steele, who Actually define procrastination as being a form of self harm. That we're doing ourselves damage by not addressing. What we know needs to be done.
