Listen "Procrastination: Why We Delay and How to Start Moving"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Mind the Gap, we dig deep into the human habit of procrastination—what it is, why we do it, and how we can finally move from delay to action.
Drawing from Stoic philosophy, emotional intelligence, and modern psychology, Michael explores how fear, perfectionism, and emotional avoidance often lie beneath our tendency to put things off. With references to Marcus Aurelius, Viktor Frankl, and leading researchers like Dr. Piers Steel, this conversation offers insight and practical strategies—from the Two-Minute Rule to the viral 'Scary Hour' technique.
If you've ever told yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow"—and meant it—this episode is for you.
