About this episode

Why Do You Procrastinate?

Are you a member of the Procrastination Club?

If so, you participate in one of the most popular groups ever devised. Everybody joins eventually.

So, what is procrastination?

"The intentional and habitual postponement of an important task that you should do now."

Is it possible that you are not procrastinating? 

Maybe you're just forcing yourself to do something you don't need or want to do anyway?

Maybe you're getting caught up in the caught up? Making busy, keeping up with the Jones?

There's so much you can do today. How many are you procrastinating, and how many should you toss off your list?

Remember…

When you do what fuels your soul you’ll never procrastinate again.
