Hi I'm Daniel Tosh, host of a new podcast called Tosh Show.

I'll be interviewing people that I find interesting, so not celebrities, and certainly not

comedians. We'll be covering topics like religion, travel, sports, gambling, but mostly it will be about being a working

mother.

If you're looking for a podcast that will educate and inspire or one that will really make

you think, this isn't the one for you.

Listen to Toss Show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

For the next five episodes, I'll be talking about the topic of procrastination.

Today, we're talking about what procrastination is and why we put things off.

Over the next few days we'll look at strategies for making progress, even if we do feel resistance.

Finally, we'll talk about when that resistance is a good thing, because

procrastination is actually our intuition's way of teaching us something

important. But first, a definition.

Procrastination means putting something off, even knowing will be worse off because of the delay.

Sometimes delays don't matter, or are even wise.

If you put off checking email because you need to help a colleague who's really struggling with a project, you are choosing well.

If you put off writing a self-evaluation that will help your manager argue for your promotion,

that's procrastination.

The first thing to know is that everyone procrastinates to some degree.
