Is procrastination really about being lazy or is it deeper than that? That’s what we’re discussing on this week’s episode. We think you’ll be surprised.
WHAT WE SAID
- We discussed an article Dave found in the New York Times, titled, “Why You Procrastinate (It Has Nothing To Do With Self-Control” and gave our thoughts on why we put things off until later.
- Wendie says the main thing she puts off is house work.
- Dave says the main thing he puts off is a particular kind of paperwork and mowing the lawn.
- Listener (and Dave’s sister-in-law) Frost says, “I do what I don’t want to do first and them it’s done! Otherwise I could put it off forever” and we discuss ways that we can combat procrastination.
- Wendie references this Kristina Kusmic video
- She also references this article from Rosa Elena
- Kevin Leman’s Birth Order Book was also brought up. We might talk about this in the future. (Not an affiliate link.)
