It is in the getting on with life that makes our lives, and that procrastination, in a very real sense, is an existential issue of not getting on with life itself.
Why do we put things off even when we know it’s bad for us? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Tim Pychyl, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Carlton University and host of the 'I Procrastinate' podcast. They dive into Tim's book, 'Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change', and explore why procrastination is more than just a bad habit—it's an existential issue.
Tim explains how delaying tasks can affect our mental and physical health, and why it’s crucial to become an active participant in our own lives. They discuss the science behind procrastination, including functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, and how our brains battle between immediate gratification and long-term goals. You’ll hear practical tips on self-regulation, task management, and forming good habits to help you get things done.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of putting things off, this conversation offers valuable insights to help you break free and start living your life to the fullest.
