To author our own lives, we have to be an active agent in our lives, not a passive participant making excuses for what we are not doing.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Tim Pychyl, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Carlton University and the host of the 'I Procrastinate' podcast. Together, they explore the complex nature of procrastination and how it affects our lives. Tim’s book, *Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change*, serves as a cornerstone for their discussion.
Tim and Eric dive into why we procrastinate and how it can be an existential issue that keeps us from truly living our lives. Tim shares personal anecdotes and practical advice, like how he tells his children, 'I didn’t ask what you want to do or how you feel, I told you it’s time to make your bed'.
This episode touches on the internal battle between our 'good' and 'bad' wolves, emphasizing the importance of being an active participant in our own lives rather than a passive observer. They also discuss how procrastination can negatively impact our health, causing stress and leading to fewer wellness behaviors. Tim explains that procrastination is often a problem of self-regulation and delves into the brain differences between those who procrastinate and those who don't.
He highlights common biases that cloud our judgment and offers strategies to think more clearly about our future selves. If you're tired of putting things off and want to take control of your life, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you become more productive. Tune in to learn how to feed your 'good wolf' and stop procrastinating once and for all.
