“Why can’t I just get on with the things I keep putting off?” If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
Gen X dad and Gen Z daughter Chris and Lily team up with productivity coach Wilson Obeneme to break down why we procrastinate, how it derails our focus, and what we can do to take action sooner.
Wilson shares surprising stats about procrastination, explores its root causes, and reveals the top three blockers that stop us tackling the tasks that matter most. We also dig into the hidden costs of delaying and how to avoid them.
You’ll learn:
- Two practical approaches to kick-start tasks you’ve been avoiding
- How perfectionism and “time-blindness” (ignoring deadlines) trap us - and how to beat them
- Three actionable steps to overcome procrastination using accountability
- The single morning micro-habit that can transform your productivity
Whether you’re struggling with study deadlines or drowning in a never-ending to-do list at work, listen in and you’ll discover simple tools to beat procrastination.
