My name is Will DeFrees, and this is the Sunday Scaries Podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues.

On today's episode, we're going to talk about curing your scaries with some productivity,

When your week is ending and all the work you have to do on Monday is looming,

the last thing you want to do is tie up loose ends and straighten out your life.

and put a dent in a show you just started watching.

It's natural to mail in the final day of the week and reflect on everything good you did leading up to it.

But then, it happens.

You're left with that all-too-familiar dread of Sunday night.

Why didn't you make the budget that's been on your mind for months?

Why did you ignore the dust on your bedroom fan for the third week in a row?

Why didn't you get your oil change when you're already a thousand miles over?
