I got the idea for this episode because I was quite literally procrastinating writing an outline for a podcast episode.

I didn't have an idea for a topic.

I didn't have the mental energy to sit down and brainstorm.

And so I was procrastinating.

Not to break the fourth wall, but I do spend a decent amount of time sitting down and

building out a concept for my podcast episodes because if I don't I go off on too many

unnecessary tangents and I never come to any sort of conclusion. I do need a little bit of organization or else the

episode is just a mess. So anyway I'm actually glad that I'm having a

procrastination week this week because I do think that this is an

important topic. I mean everyone struggles with procrastination and at times the human condition can

feel like this constant fight against procrastination. I literally feel like life sometimes is just one big battle against

procrastination because we constantly have things that we need to do.

And simultaneously we have so many things that we'd rather be doing that are more fun, more light-hearted, more enjoyable.

Life is also a constant battle in one's mind. We're constantly having to remind ourselves that we have to get the

work done before we can have our play, you know? And the thing about procrastination is that not only does it cause

stress because we don't get things done that we need to get done and there's usually

consequences for that.

But also it can impact the way that we see ourselves.

Like it can impact our self-esteem.

It's quite a nasty thing that never it never ends well. It causes a lot of distress

Procrastination does and so I'm glad we're talking about it

Because to be honest, procrastination And so I'm glad we're talking about it.
