0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to Practicing Human. This is the podcast where every day we are practicing
0:08.3	getting a little better at life. I am your host, Cory Muscara, and in today's episode,
0:16.1	we're going to be talking about how to overcome procrastination. More to come on that in
0:22.8	a moment, but first, let's settle in with the sound of the bells.
0:41.5	Okay, procrastination. None of us like it, but all of us do it. In fact, I had a healthy dose of
0:51.4	procrastination this morning. I woke up nice and early. I had a bunch of emails to take care of,
0:58.3	you know, when you're going through your inbox and there are the easy emails that you could do
1:03.3	that give you a little sense of satisfaction to quickly check off the list, but then you come
1:08.8	to another email and you're like, oh, that's going to take too long to respond to. I'll get to
1:13.1	that later. Well, I am the king of that. And often what happens is those emails build up over the

1:56.6	I looked at the first one. I was like, okay, I'll do that a little bit afterwards. I went to another
2:00.5	one. And I said, now that's a little too long. Let me start with this one. So I did that one,
2:05.0	got through it. Took about seven or eight minutes. You know, these are those kinds of emails.
2:09.9	The ones that take a long response and took a deep breath after that. I went to another one. I said,
2:16.2	too much. Before I knew it, I was on Facebook. I don't know how I got to Facebook. But I got
2:23.1	there. And I said, oh, shouldn't be on Facebook. Go back to the emails. Looked at it quickly.
2:29.1	And two seconds later, I was on YouTube. Don't really know how that transition happened,
