Your Procrastination, Solved

Açıklama:

In this second episode of Solved, Drew and I dive into the psychology, history, and science of procrastination, exploring ideas from Plato and Aristotle to Freud and contemporary research. We examine why we delay important tasks, debunk the myth that we work better under pressure, and argue that procrastination is a skill issue rather than a moral failing. The episode covers shame, identity, perfectionism, culture, and offers practical, research‑backed strategies to overcome procrastination.
