  Hey,

  How
• 0:27

• 0:28
  I'm

• 0:29
  How
• 0:29
  are
• 0:29
  you?
• 0:30
  I'm
• 0:31
  great.
• 0:31
  I
• 0:31
  was
• 0:31
  just
• 0:31
  thinking
• 0:33
  that
• 0:33
  it's
• 0:34
  so
• 0:34
  fun
• 0:34
  to
• 0:35
  get
• 0:35
  to
• 0:35
  see
• 0:35
  you
• 0:35
  with
• 0:36
  that
• 0:36
  little
• 0:36
  greeting.
• 0:36
  I
• 0:37
  mean,
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  said
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  We've
• 0:38
  said
• 0:38
  those
• 0:38
  words
• 0:39
  hundreds
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  times,
• 0:40
  but
• 0:40
  before,
• 0:41
  it
• 0:41
  was
• 0:41
  on
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  phone
• 0:41
  or
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  Internet
• 0:42
  with
• 0:43
  no
• 0:43
  video.
• 0:43
  Right.
• 0:43
  And
• 0:44
  now
• 0:44
  I
• 0:44
  get
• 0:44
  to
• 0:44
  see
• 0:45
  you
• 0:45
  smile.
• 0:45
  It's
• 0:45
  so
• 0:46
  nice.
• 0:46
  I
• 0:46
  know.
• 0:46
  It's
• 0:47
  really
• 0:47
  nice.
• 0:47
  I
• 0:47
  was
• 0:48
  getting
• 0:48
  water
• 0:48
  for
• 0:48
  my
• 0:50
  Getting
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  Good
• 0:51
  enough
• 0:51
  Water
• 0:51
  cloths.
• 0:53
  Nice.
• 0:54
  And
• 0:54
  we
• 0:55
  have
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  picture
• 0:55
  inside
• 0:56
  the
• 0:56
  refrigerator.
• 0:56
  So
• 0:56
  I
• 0:56
  have
• 0:57
  to
• 0:57
  stand
• 0:57
  there,
• 0:58
  you
• 0:58
  know,
• 0:59
  filling
• 0:59
  my
• 0:59
  glass,
• 1:00
  and
• 1:00
  I
• 1:01
  was
• 1:01
  looking
• 1:01
  at
• 1:01
  all
• 1:01
  the
• 1:02
  disgusting
• 1:02
  things
• 1:02
  inside.
• 1:03
  Of
• 1:03
  my
• 1:03
  refrigerator
• 1:04
  and
• 1:05
  thinking,
• 1:05
  we
• 1:06
  really.
• 1:06
  Need
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  clean
• 1:07
  out
• 1:07
  this
• 1:07
  refrigerator.
• 1:08
  I
• 1:08
  mean,
• 1:08
  like,
• 1:09
  we
• 1:09
  have
• 1:09
  virtually
• 1:09
  no
• 1:10
  glass
• 1:11
  food
• 1:11
  storage
• 1:11
  bowls
• 1:12
  left
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  cupboard
• 1:12
  because
• 1:13
  they're
• 1:13
  all
• 1:13
  in
• 1:13
  the
• 1:14
  refrigerator.
• 1:14
  They're
• 1:14
  all
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  fridge.
• 1:15
  Yeah.
• 1:16
  I've
• 1:16
  been
• 1:16
  saying.
• 1:16
  We've
• 1:17
  both
• 1:17
  been
• 1:17
  saying
• 1:17
  this
• 1:17
  for
• 1:18
  days,
• 1:18
  if
• 1:19
  not
• 1:19
  weeks.
• 1:20
  Like,
• 1:20
  why
• 1:21
  don't
• 1:22
  we
• 1:22
  just
• 1:23
  do
• 1:23
  it?
• 1:23
  I
• 1:24
  think
• 1:24
  usually
• 1:24
  we
• 1:25
  wait
• 1:25
  until
• 1:25
  it
• 1:25
  smells
• 1:26
  so
• 1:26
  bad
• 1:26
  we
• 1:26
  have
• 1:26
  a
• 1:27
  not
• 1:27
  just
• 1:28
  visual,
• 1:28
  but
• 1:28
  olfactory
• 1:30
  reminder
• 1:31
  we
• 1:32
  need
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  do
• 1:32
  it.
• 1:33
  You
• 1:33
  wait
• 1:33
  until
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  pain
• 1:34
  of
• 1:35
  opening
• 1:35
  the
• 1:36
  refrigerator
• 1:37
  is
• 1:37
  greater
• 1:38
  than
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  pain,
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  perceived
• 1:40
  pain
• 1:40
  of
• 1:41
  cleaning
• 1:41
  it
• 1:41
  out.
• 1:42
  Right.
• 1:43
  Or
• 1:44
  until
• 1:45
  we
• 1:45
  starve
• 1:45
  to
• 1:45
  death
• 1:46
  because
• 1:46
  all
• 1:46
  our
• 1:47
  food
• 1:47
  is
• 1:47
  inaccessible,
• 1:48
  Whichever
• 1:48
  comes
• 1:49
  first.
• 1:52
  So.
• 1:52
  So
• 1:52
  I.
• 1:53
  I
• 1:54
  led
• 1:54
  me.
• 1:54
  I
• 1:55
  was
• 1:55
  thinking
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  need
• 1:55
  to
• 1:55
  talk
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  Shannon
• 1:56
  about
• 1:56
  procrastination,
• 1:57
  because
• 1:57
  I
• 1:58
  feel
• 1:58
  like
• 1:58
  you're
• 1:58
  the.
• 1:59
  The
• 1:59
  expert
• 2:00
  on
• 2:01
  procrastination.
• 2:02
  You
• 2:02
  can
• 2:02
  usually
• 2:03
  help
• 2:03
  me
• 2:04
  get
• 2:05
  going
• 2:05
  where
• 2:05
  I
• 2:06
  need
• 2:06
  to
• 2:06
  go.
• 2:07
  Yeah.
• 2:07
  And
• 2:07
  I
• 2:07
  feel
• 2:08
  like
• 2:08
  I
• 2:08
  need
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  clarify
• 2:09
  that
• 2:09
  I
• 2:09
  am
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  expert
• 2:10
  at
• 2:10
  procrastination.
• 2:11
  On
• 2:12
  procrastination,
• 2:13
  and
• 2:14
  perhaps
• 2:14
  even
• 2:14
  at
• 2:15
  procrastination.
• 2:17
  Which
• 2:18
  is
• 2:18
  maybe
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  ex
• 2:19
  procrastinator.
• 2:21
  But
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  am.
• 2:22
  I
• 2:23
  mean,
• 2:23
  let's
• 2:23
  be
• 2:23
  honest
• 2:24
  here.
• 2:25
  Everybody
• 2:25
  procrastinates.
• 2:27
  Everyone
• 2:27
  procrastinates.
• 2:29
  And
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  think
• 2:31
  perhaps
• 2:31
  part
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  reason
• 2:32
  why
• 2:33
  I
• 2:34
  became
• 2:35
  really
• 2:35
  good
• 2:36
  at
• 2:36
  helping
• 2:36
  people
• 2:36
  move
• 2:37
  through
• 2:37
  procrastination
• 2:38
  is
• 2:38
  because
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  was
• 2:40
  such
• 2:40
  a
• 2:40
  procrastinator
• 2:41
  myself.
• 2:44
  Just.
• 2:44
  To,
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  know,
• 2:45
  put
• 2:45
  it
• 2:46
  all
• 2:46
  out
• 2:46
  there.
• 2:47
  Right.
• 2:48
  It's
• 2:48
  not
• 2:48
  one
• 2:48
  of
• 2:48
  those
• 2:49
  things
• 2:49
  where,
• 2:49
  like,
• 2:49
  I
• 2:50
  never
• 2:50
  procrastinate.
• 2:51
  So
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  can
• 2:51
  tell
• 2:51
  you
• 2:52
  how
• 2:52
  not
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  procrastinate.
• 2:53
  It's
• 2:53
  like,
• 2:54
  oh,
• 2:54
  no.
• 2:54
  Right.
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  Procrastinated
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56
  every
• 2:56
  possible
• 2:57
  way.
• 2:58
  So
• 2:58
  let's
• 2:59
  see
• 2:59
  how
• 2:59
  you're
• 3:00
  procrastinating.
• 3:00
  Because
• 3:01
  there
• 3:01
  are
• 3:01
  different
• 3:03
  reasons
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  sort
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  ways
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  procrastinating
• 3:07
  that,
• 3:08
  you
• 3:09
  know,
• 3:10
  people
• 3:10
  employ.
• 3:12
  Right.
• 3:12
  Yeah.
• 3:12
  You
• 3:13
  helped
• 3:13
  me
• 3:13
  discover
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  thing.
• 3:16
  The.
• 3:17
  My
• 3:17
  procrastination
• 3:18
  tends
• 3:18
  to
• 3:18
  be
• 3:18
  due
• 3:19
  to
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  fear
• 3:21
  of
• 3:21
  something
• 3:21
  being
• 3:22
  unpleasant.
• 3:23
  It's
• 3:23
  very
• 3:24
  strong.
• 3:24
  I
• 3:24
  don't
• 3:25
  like
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  do
• 3:25
  things
• 3:25
  that
• 3:26
  are
• 3:26
  unpleasant.
• 3:27
  And
• 3:27
  sometimes
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  feel
• 3:28
  like
• 3:30
  if
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  make
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  call,
• 3:31
  they
• 3:32
  might.
• 3:33
  To
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  financial
• 3:33
  institution,
• 3:34
  they
• 3:34
  might
• 3:35
  tell
• 3:35
  me
• 3:35
  something
• 3:35
  I
• 3:36
  want
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  hear,
• 3:37
  or
• 3:37
  they
• 3:37
  might
• 3:37
  make
• 3:38
  me
• 3:38
  jump
• 3:38
  through
• 3:38
  hoops,
• 3:38
  or
• 3:39
  they
• 3:39
  might
• 3:39
  just
• 3:39
  keep
• 3:39
  me
• 3:39
  on
• 3:39
  hold
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  make
• 3:40
  me
• 3:40
  unhappy
• 3:41
  for
• 3:41
  that.
• 3:42
  Right.
• 3:42
  It's
• 3:43
  probably
• 3:43
  one
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  reasons
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  hate
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  phone
• 3:44
  gentlemen.
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  hate
• 3:45
  making
• 3:45
  phone
• 3:46
  calls.
• 3:47
  But
• 3:48
  anyway,
• 3:48
  that.
• 3:48
  For
• 3:49
  me,
• 3:49
  that
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  very
• 3:49
  powerful
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  learn
• 3:50
  that
• 3:52
  because
• 3:53
  it's
• 3:53
  really.
• 3:55
  When
• 3:55
  you're
• 3:55
  gripped
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  it,
• 3:56
  it
• 3:56
  feels
• 3:57
  really
• 3:57
  powerful
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  strong.
• 3:58
  But
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  fact,
• 3:58
  when
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  realized
• 3:59
  it's
• 4:00
  just
• 4:00
  I'm
• 4:00
  afraid
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  something
• 4:01
  unpleasant.
• 4:01
  Well,
• 4:01
  I
• 4:02
  know
• 4:02
  I
• 4:02
  can.
• 4:03
  Between
• 4:03
  my
• 4:03
  husband
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  me,
• 4:04
  we
• 4:04
  can
• 4:04
  get
• 4:04
  that
• 4:05
  refrigerator
• 4:05
  cleaned
• 4:06
  out
• 4:06
  in
• 4:06
  probably
• 4:07
  10
• 4:07
  minutes,
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  can.
• 4:08
  Right.
• 4:09
  Actually,
• 4:09
  isn't
• 4:09
  that
• 4:09
  unpleasant
• 4:10
  if
• 4:11
  we
• 4:11
  do
• 4:11
  it
• 4:11
  together?
• 4:12
  Yeah.
• 4:13
  Well.
• 4:13
  And,
• 4:14
  you
• 4:14
  know,
• 4:14
  so
• 4:14
  there's
• 4:15
  sort
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  two
• 4:15
  things
• 4:16
  at
• 4:16
  play
• 4:16
  here.
• 4:16
  There's
• 4:16
  sort
• 4:17
  of
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  rational
• 4:17
  part
• 4:17
  of
• 4:18
  it,
• 4:18
  and
• 4:18
  then
• 4:18
  there's
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  less
• 4:20
  rational,
• 4:21
  sort
• 4:21
  of
• 4:22
  reactive
• 4:23
  part
• 4:23
  of
• 4:23
  it
• 4:23
  where,
• 4:24
  you
• 4:24
  know,
• 4:24
  your
• 4:25
  brain
• 4:25
  goes
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  little
• 4:25
  bit
• 4:25
  into
• 4:26
  survival
• 4:26
  mode
• 4:27
  of,
• 4:28
  like,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  think
• 4:28
  it's
• 4:28
  gonna
• 4:28
  be
• 4:28
  so
• 4:29
  unpleasant
• 4:30
  for
• 4:30
  whatever
• 4:30
  reason,
• 4:31
  it's
• 4:31
  gonna
• 4:31
  take
• 4:32
  too
• 4:32
  long,
• 4:32
  it's
• 4:32
  gonna
• 4:33
  smell
• 4:33
  bad,
• 4:34
  it's
• 4:34
  gonna
• 4:34
  look
• 4:34
  gross,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:35
  whatever,
• 4:38
  that
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  don't
• 4:39
  want
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  do
• 4:40
  it.
• 4:40
  And
• 4:40
  so,
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  know,
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  choose
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  do
• 4:42
  something
• 4:43
  else
• 4:43
  that
• 4:43
  brings
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  enjoyment
• 4:47
  or
• 4:47
  that
• 4:47
  is
• 4:48
  at
• 4:49
  least
• 4:49
  not
• 4:50
  unpleasant
• 4:51
  if
• 4:51
  not
• 4:51
  pleasant.
• 4:52
  Right.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:55
  so,
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  know,
• 4:56
  sort
• 4:56
  of
• 4:57
  one
• 4:58
  way
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  approach
• 4:59
  that
• 5:00
  is
• 5:01
  to
• 5:02
  figure
• 5:02
  out,
• 5:03
  is
• 5:03
  there
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  way
• 5:03
  that
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  can
• 5:04
  make
• 5:05
  it
• 5:05
  pleasant?
• 5:08
  So,
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  know,
• 5:10
  could
• 5:10
  it
• 5:11
  be
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  you
• 5:12
  listen
• 5:13
  to
• 5:14
  something
• 5:15
  entertaining
• 5:15
  while
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  it?
• 5:17
  Or,
• 5:17
  you
• 5:18
  know,
• 5:19
  maybe
• 5:19
  you
• 5:20
  play
• 5:20
  your
• 5:20
  favorite
• 5:21
  music
• 5:21
  while
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  do
• 5:22
  it,
• 5:22
  or,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  know,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  enjoy
• 5:25
  a
• 5:26
  challenge,
• 5:26
  can
• 5:26
  you
• 5:27
  challenge
• 5:27
  yourself
• 5:28
  to
• 5:29
  do
• 5:29
  it
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  10
• 5:29
  minutes?
• 5:30
  Or,
• 5:30
  you
• 5:30
  know,
• 5:31
  whatever?
• 5:31
  Like,
• 5:32
  how
• 5:32
  can
• 5:32
  you
• 5:33
  make
• 5:33
  it
• 5:37
  more
• 5:37
  appealing
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  do
• 5:39
  or
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  get
• 5:40
  done?
• 5:42
  Right,
• 5:43
  Right.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  will
• 5:43
  just
• 5:44
  say
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  we
• 5:45
  over,
• 5:45
  you
• 5:45
  know,
• 5:45
  we've
• 5:46
  been
• 5:46
  married
• 5:46
  a
• 5:47
  long
• 5:47
  time,
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  so
• 5:48
  over
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  years,
• 5:49
  we've
• 5:49
  made
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  more.
• 5:50
  Less
• 5:50
  unpleasant
• 5:50
  by.
• 5:51
  We
• 5:51
  have
• 5:52
  defined
• 5:52
  roles
• 5:53
  in
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  process,
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  then
• 5:55
  we
• 5:55
  get
• 5:55
  a
• 5:56
  good
• 5:56
  laugh
• 5:56
  over
• 5:57
  the.
• 5:58
  Trying
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  guess
• 5:59
  what
• 6:00
  is
• 6:00
  in
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  containers.
• 6:01
  Is
• 6:02
  it
• 6:02
  meat?
• 6:02
  Is
• 6:02
  it
• 6:03
  cake?
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  don't
• 6:03
  know.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:07
  we
• 6:07
  laugh
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  lot
• 6:07
  while
• 6:08
  we're
• 6:08
  doing
• 6:08
  it
• 6:08
  rather
• 6:09
  than
• 6:09
  like
• 6:09
  being
• 6:10
  mad
• 6:10
  at
• 6:10
  ourselves
• 6:11
  or
• 6:11
  each
• 6:11
  other
• 6:11
  over
• 6:12
  it.
• 6:12
  Right.
• 6:13
  Which.
• 6:13
  What
• 6:13
  can
• 6:13
  happen
• 6:14
  in
• 6:14
  those
• 6:14
  situations?
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:16
  Yeah.
• 6:17
  Well,
• 6:17
  so,
• 6:17
  you
• 6:18
  know,
• 6:18
  when
• 6:18
  you
• 6:18
  think
• 6:18
  about
• 6:18
  cleaning
• 6:19
  out
• 6:19
  the
• 6:20
  refrigerator,
• 6:20
  what
• 6:21
  happens
• 6:21
  if
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  think
• 6:21
  about
• 6:22
  laughing
• 6:22
  about
• 6:22
  it?
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:23
  Does
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  make
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  easier
• 6:24
  to
• 6:25
  do?
• 6:25
  Yeah,
• 6:25
  absolutely.
• 6:26
  Yeah.
• 6:28
  Yeah.
• 6:28
  It's
• 6:29
  too
• 6:29
  bad
• 6:29
  I'm
• 6:29
  podcasting.
• 6:30
  I'd
• 6:30
  get
• 6:30
  in
• 6:30
  there
• 6:30
  right
• 6:31
  now.
• 6:33
  Well,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  know,
• 6:33
  we
• 6:33
  can
• 6:34
  cut
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  come
• 6:34
  back.
• 6:35
  Not
• 6:35
  necessary.
• 6:39
  But.
• 6:39
  So
• 6:39
  that's.
• 6:39
  So
• 6:40
  that's
• 6:40
  really
• 6:40
  the
• 6:41
  trick
• 6:41
  of
• 6:43
  overcoming
• 6:44
  procrastination
• 6:45
  is
• 6:46
  figuring
• 6:47
  out
• 6:49
  what
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  bad
• 6:49
  feeling
• 6:50
  is
• 6:50
  about
• 6:51
  and
• 6:51
  counteracting
• 6:52
  that.
• 6:53
  So,
• 6:54
  you
• 6:54
  know,
• 6:54
  whatever
• 6:55
  you're
• 6:55
  procrastinating
• 6:56
  on,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:57
  it's
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  or,
• 7:00
  you
• 7:00
  know,
• 7:00
  you
• 7:01
  have
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  send
• 7:01
  in
• 7:01
  a
• 7:02
  form
• 7:02
  to
• 7:03
  your
• 7:04
  bank
• 7:05
  and
• 7:06
  it's
• 7:06
  like,
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  know,
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  just
• 7:07
  keep
• 7:08
  putting
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  off.
• 7:08
  But
• 7:09
  when
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  think
• 7:09
  about
• 7:09
  it,
• 7:10
  like,
• 7:11
  what
• 7:12
  is
• 7:13
  it
• 7:13
  about
• 7:13
  that
• 7:14
  that
• 7:14
  feels
• 7:15
  bad
• 7:17
  and
• 7:17
  like,
• 7:17
  you
• 7:18
  know,
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  don't.
• 7:18
  I'll
• 7:19
  get
• 7:19
  it
• 7:19
  wrong.
• 7:21
  So
• 7:21
  how
• 7:22
  can
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  counteract
• 7:22
  that?
• 7:23
  Well,
• 7:23
  I
• 7:23
  want
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  get
• 7:24
  it
• 7:24
  right.
• 7:24
  So
• 7:25
  perhaps
• 7:26
  I
• 7:26
  can
• 7:26
  make
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  call.
• 7:27
  Perhaps
• 7:27
  I
• 7:27
  can
• 7:28
  look
• 7:28
  at
• 7:28
  some
• 7:29
  FAQs
• 7:29
  online.
• 7:30
  I,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:31
  know,
• 7:31
  there
• 7:31
  are
• 7:31
  ways
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  figure
• 7:32
  out
• 7:32
  how
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  get
• 7:33
  it
• 7:33
  right
• 7:34
  so
• 7:34
  that
• 7:35
  I
• 7:35
  don't
• 7:36
  make
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  mistake
• 7:37
  and
• 7:37
  waste
• 7:37
  my
• 7:38
  time.
• 7:39
  So
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  feel
• 7:40
  like
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  remember
• 7:41
  that
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  identified
• 7:42
  four
• 7:42
  different
• 7:43
  types
• 7:43
  of
• 7:44
  procrastinators,
• 7:46
  if
• 7:46
  that's
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  right
• 7:47
  way
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  put
• 7:47
  it.
• 7:49
  What
• 7:49
  were
• 7:49
  those?
• 7:50
  So
• 7:51
  they're
• 7:52
  enjoyment,
• 7:53
  like
• 7:53
  what
• 7:54
  we
• 7:54
  were
• 7:54
  just
• 7:54
  talking
• 7:54
  about
• 7:55
  with
• 7:55
  you.
• 7:55
  Whether
• 7:55
  or
• 7:55
  not
• 7:56
  you're
• 7:56
  going
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  enjoy
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  task.
• 7:58
  Reward,
• 7:59
  whether
• 7:59
  or
• 7:59
  not.
• 7:59
  Or
• 8:00
  how
• 8:00
  quickly
• 8:01
  you'll
• 8:01
  get
• 8:01
  rewarded
• 8:02
  for
• 8:04
  starting
• 8:05
  or
• 8:05
  completing
• 8:05
  the
• 8:06
  task.
• 8:07
  Distractibility,
• 8:08
  which
• 8:09
  is
• 8:09
  more
• 8:09
  about.
• 8:11
  It's
• 8:11
  hard
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  get
• 8:12
  started
• 8:12
  because
• 8:12
  you
• 8:12
  have
• 8:12
  a
• 8:13
  lot
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  different
• 8:13
  things
• 8:13
  vying
• 8:14
  for
• 8:14
  your
• 8:14
  attention
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  then
• 8:16
  confidence,
• 8:16
  whether
• 8:17
  or
• 8:17
  not
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  believe
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  can
• 8:18
  be
• 8:18
  successful
• 8:19
  at
• 8:19
  completing
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  task.
• 8:22
  Oh,
• 8:22
  interesting.
• 8:22
  And
• 8:23
  so
• 8:23
  are
• 8:23
  people
• 8:23
  sort
• 8:23
  of
• 8:24
  wired
• 8:25
  differently
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  so
• 8:27
  they
• 8:27
  have
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  tendency
• 8:28
  toward
• 8:28
  one
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  those.
• 8:29
  Or
• 8:29
  maybe
• 8:29
  it
• 8:29
  depends
• 8:30
  on
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  task.
• 8:31
  Like
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  type
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  task.
• 8:33
  Yeah,
• 8:33
  People
• 8:34
  generally
• 8:35
  procrastinate
• 8:36
  for
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  same
• 8:39
  reason
• 8:40
  on
• 8:40
  most
• 8:41
  things,
• 8:41
  but
• 8:42
  different
• 8:42
  tasks
• 8:43
  can.
• 8:44
  Or
• 8:44
  different
• 8:45
  situations
• 8:46
  can
• 8:46
  cause
• 8:46
  you
• 8:46
  to
• 8:47
  procrastinate
• 8:47
  for
• 8:47
  a
• 8:48
  different
• 8:48
  reason.

  all
• 9:15
  the.
• 9:15
  For
• 9:15
  all
• 9:15
  four
• 9:16
  types.
• 9:16
  Right,
• 9:17
  right.
• 9:19
  But
• 9:19
  the,
• 9:19
  but
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  sort
• 9:20
  of.
• 9:20
  The
• 9:21
  overriding
• 9:21
  strategy,
• 9:22
  you
• 9:22
  don't
• 9:23
  have
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  know
• 9:23
  your
• 9:23
  type.
• 9:24
  It
• 9:24
  can
• 9:24
  be
• 9:24
  really
• 9:24
  helpful.
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  know
• 9:25
  it
• 9:25
  was
• 9:26
  really
• 9:26
  eye
• 9:27
  opening
• 9:27
  for
• 9:27
  you
• 9:28
  when
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  discovered
• 9:28
  that.
• 9:29
  Yeah.
• 9:30
  Think
• 9:30
  that
• 9:30
  had
• 9:30
  ever
• 9:31
  really
• 9:31
  occurred
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  you?
• 9:34
  So
• 9:35
  it
• 9:35
  can
• 9:35
  be
• 9:35
  definitely
• 9:36
  useful
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  take
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  quiz
• 9:38
  and
• 9:39
  understand
• 9:40
  more
• 9:40
  about
• 9:41
  why
• 9:41
  you
• 9:42
  tend
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  procrastinate
• 9:43
  and
• 9:44
  then
• 9:44
  get
• 9:44
  a
• 9:44
  strategy
• 9:45
  for
• 9:45
  that
• 9:45
  particular
• 9:45
  type
• 9:46
  of
• 9:46
  procrastination.
• 9:48
  But
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  overriding
• 9:49
  thing
• 9:49
  is
• 9:49
  what
• 9:49
  we
• 9:49
  were
• 9:50
  talking
• 9:50
  about
• 9:50
  earlier
• 9:50
  is
• 9:51
  on
• 9:51
  a
• 9:51
  specific
• 9:52
  task,
• 9:52
  what
• 9:52
  makes
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  feel
• 9:53
  bad
• 9:53
  when
• 9:53
  you
• 9:54
  think
• 9:54
  about
• 9:54
  the
• 9:54
  task
• 9:55
  and
• 9:56
  then
• 9:57
  what
• 9:57
  counteracts
• 9:58
  that.
• 9:59
  So,
• 9:59
  like,
• 10:00
  you
• 10:00
  don't
• 10:01
  want
• 10:01
  to
• 10:01
  clean
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  refrigerator
• 10:02
  because
• 10:02
  you
• 10:02
  think
• 10:03
  it's
• 10:03
  going
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  suck.
• 10:04
  Well,
• 10:05
  how
• 10:05
  can
• 10:05
  you
• 10:05
  make
• 10:06
  it
• 10:06
  not
• 10:06
  suck?
• 10:06
  Well,
• 10:07
  you
• 10:07
  can
• 10:07
  think
• 10:07
  about
• 10:07
  laughing
• 10:08
  because
• 10:08
  you
• 10:08
  always
• 10:09
  laugh
• 10:09
  when
• 10:09
  you
• 10:09
  do
• 10:10
  it
• 10:10
  right.
• 10:11
  So
• 10:11
  that's
• 10:11
  like
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  easiest
• 10:12
  thing.
• 10:12
  And
• 10:12
  then
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  can
• 10:13
  add
• 10:13
  these
• 10:13
  external
• 10:14
  things
• 10:14
  in
• 10:14
  that
• 10:15
  can
• 10:15
  make
• 10:15
  it
• 10:15
  more
• 10:15
  enjoyable.
• 10:16
  You
• 10:16
  know,
• 10:17
  listening
• 10:18
  to
• 10:19
  music,
• 10:20
  listening
• 10:21
  to
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  funny
• 10:21
  podcast,
• 10:23
  you
• 10:23
  know,
• 10:23
  whatever.
• 10:24
  Having
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  story
• 10:25
  prepared
• 10:26
  to
• 10:26
  tell,
• 10:26
  talk
• 10:27
  to
• 10:27
  your
• 10:27
  husband
• 10:27
  about,
• 10:28
  you
• 10:28
  know,
• 10:28
  whatever
• 10:28
  it
• 10:29
  is
• 10:29
  that
• 10:29
  can
• 10:30
  make
• 10:30
  it
• 10:30
  more
• 10:31
  enjoyable.
• 10:33
  Right,
• 10:33
  yeah.
• 10:33
  And
• 10:34
  that
• 10:34
  works
• 10:34
  for
• 10:34
  all.
• 10:35
  That's
• 10:35
  a
• 10:35
  universal
• 10:37
  strategy,
• 10:38
  is
• 10:38
  to
• 10:38
  think
• 10:38
  about
• 10:38
  what's
• 10:39
  stopping
• 10:39
  what.
• 10:39
  What's
• 10:40
  stopping
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  what
• 10:40
  you
• 10:41
  can
• 10:41
  do
• 10:41
  about
• 10:41
  it,
• 10:42
  essentially.
• 10:43
  Well,
• 10:44
  I
• 10:44
  was
• 10:44
  just
• 10:44
  going
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  go
• 10:44
  quickly
• 10:45
  through
• 10:45
  the
• 10:46
  other
• 10:46
  one.
• 10:47
  So,
• 10:47
  like,
• 10:47
  with
• 10:47
  reward,
• 10:49
  how
• 10:49
  can
• 10:49
  you
• 10:50
  reward
• 10:50
  yourself
• 10:50
  for
• 10:50
  doing
• 10:51
  it?
• 10:51
  You
• 10:51
  know,
• 10:52
  maybe
• 10:52
  a
• 10:52
  little
• 10:52
  reward
• 10:53
  for
• 10:53
  starting
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  a
• 10:54
  bigger
• 10:55
  reward
• 10:55
  for
• 10:55
  finishing.
• 10:56
  And
• 10:56
  it
• 10:56
  doesn't
• 10:57
  need
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  be
• 10:57
  a
• 10:57
  big
• 10:57
  thing.
• 10:58
  It
• 10:58
  just
• 10:58
  needs
• 10:58
  to
• 10:59
  feel
• 10:59
  like
• 10:59
  a
• 11:00
  little
• 11:00
  bit
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  a
• 11:00
  treat,
• 11:00
  which
• 11:01
  could
• 11:01
  be
• 11:01
  as
• 11:01
  simple
• 11:02
  as
• 11:02
  sitting
• 11:03
  down
• 11:03
  for
• 11:03
  five
• 11:04
  minutes
• 11:04
  and
• 11:04
  putting
• 11:04
  your
• 11:05
  feet
• 11:05
  up.
• 11:06
  Right.
• 11:06
  And
• 11:06
  you
• 11:07
  could
• 11:07
  have.
• 11:07
  Depending
• 11:07
  on
• 11:08
  how
• 11:08
  big
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  task
• 11:08
  is,
• 11:08
  you
• 11:09
  could
• 11:09
  have
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  reward
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  middle
• 11:10
  too,
• 11:10
  right?
• 11:10
  Well,
• 11:10
  for
• 11:11
  progress.
• 11:11
  Yeah.
• 11:12
  Yeah,
• 11:12
  absolutely.
• 11:14
  Distractibility
• 11:15
  is
• 11:16
  about
• 11:17
  managing
• 11:18
  all
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  things
• 11:18
  vying
• 11:19
  for
• 11:19
  your
• 11:19
  attention.
• 11:21
  So
• 11:23
  you
• 11:24
  know
• 11:24
  that
• 11:24
  the
• 11:25
  easiest
• 11:25
  way
• 11:25
  to
• 11:25
  counteract
• 11:26
  that
• 11:26
  is
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  get
• 11:27
  all
• 11:27
  those
• 11:27
  things
• 11:27
  out
• 11:27
  of
• 11:28
  your
• 11:28
  head
• 11:28
  so
• 11:28
  you're
• 11:28
  not
• 11:29
  thinking
• 11:29
  about
• 11:29
  them.
• 11:30
  And,
• 11:31
  you
• 11:31
  know,
• 11:31
  write
• 11:32
  down
• 11:32
  a
• 11:32
  list
• 11:32
  and
• 11:33
  then
• 11:33
  pick
• 11:34
  the
• 11:35
  one
• 11:35
  thing
• 11:35
  that
• 11:35
  you're
• 11:35
  going
• 11:36
  to
• 11:36
  do
• 11:36
  and
• 11:37
  set
• 11:37
  a
• 11:38
  timer
• 11:38
  is
• 11:38
  really
• 11:39
  helpful.
• 11:39
  So,
• 11:40
  you
• 11:40
  know,
• 11:40
  even
• 11:40
  if
• 11:41
  it's
• 11:41
  only
• 11:42
  five
• 11:42
  minutes,
• 11:42
  but
• 11:43
  to
• 11:43
  just
• 11:43
  spend
• 11:44
  five
• 11:44
  minutes
• 11:45
  on
• 11:45
  that
• 11:45
  task
• 11:46
  alone
• 11:46
  without
• 11:47
  letting
• 11:47
  something
• 11:47
  else
• 11:48
  distract
• 11:48
  you
• 11:49
  can
• 11:49
  be
• 11:49
  really
• 11:49
  helpful.
• 11:51
  And
• 11:51
  then
• 11:52
  the
• 11:52
  fourth
• 11:53
  one,
• 11:53
  confidence,
• 11:53
  is
• 11:54
  really
• 11:54
  about
• 11:54
  whether
• 11:55
  or
• 11:55
  not
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  feel
• 11:55
  like
• 11:56
  you
• 11:56
  can
• 11:56
  do
• 11:56
  it.
• 11:58
  You
• 11:59
  know,
• 11:59
  like
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  talked
• 12:00
  about
• 12:00
  with
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  example
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  needing
• 12:02
  to
• 12:02
  send
• 12:02
  a
• 12:02
  form
• 12:02
  into
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  bank,
• 12:03
  like,
• 12:05
  so
• 12:06
  that
• 12:06
  can
• 12:06
  be.
• 12:07
  Confidence
• 12:08
  can
• 12:08
  be
• 12:09
  two
• 12:09
  parts.
• 12:10
  It
• 12:10
  can
• 12:10
  be
• 12:11
  that
• 12:11
  you
• 12:12
  don't
• 12:12
  actually
• 12:12
  know
• 12:12
  how
• 12:13
  to
• 12:13
  do
• 12:13
  it,
• 12:14
  so
• 12:14
  you
• 12:14
  need
• 12:14
  to
• 12:15
  get
• 12:15
  information
• 12:16
  on
• 12:16
  how
• 12:16
  to
• 12:16
  do
• 12:16
  it.
• 12:17
  And
• 12:18
  it
• 12:18
  can
• 12:18
  also
• 12:18
  be
• 12:19
  that
• 12:19
  you
• 12:19
  just
• 12:19
  don't
• 12:20
  feel
• 12:20
  confident.
• 12:22
  And
• 12:22
  that
• 12:22
  can
• 12:22
  be
• 12:23
  as
• 12:23
  simple
• 12:23
  as,
• 12:24
  like
• 12:25
  we
• 12:25
  talked
• 12:25
  in
• 12:26
  a
• 12:26
  recent
• 12:26
  episode
• 12:28
  of
• 12:29
  feeling
• 12:29
  the
• 12:30
  feeling
• 12:30
  of
• 12:30
  confidence.
• 12:31
  Because
• 12:31
  there
• 12:32
  are
• 12:32
  things
• 12:32
  that
• 12:32
  you
• 12:33
  feel
• 12:33
  confident
• 12:33
  about
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  feeling
• 12:36
  what
• 12:36
  it
• 12:37
  feels
• 12:37
  like
• 12:37
  when
• 12:38
  you
• 12:38
  are
• 12:38
  confident
• 12:39
  and
• 12:39
  then
• 12:40
  moving
• 12:41
  forward
• 12:41
  from
• 12:41
  that
• 12:42
  point.
• 12:43
  Yeah,
• 12:43
  from
• 12:43
  that
• 12:44
  feeling.
• 12:44
  Taking
• 12:45
  action.
• 12:45
  Right.
• 12:46
  As
• 12:46
  we
• 12:46
  discussed
• 12:47
  before.
• 12:47
  Oh,
• 12:47
  that's
• 12:48
  so
• 12:48
  interesting.
• 12:49
  It
• 12:49
  may
• 12:50
  be
• 12:50
  because
• 12:50
  of
• 12:50
  the
• 12:51
  insights
• 12:51
  gained
• 12:52
  from
• 12:52
  learning
• 12:53
  about
• 12:53
  my.
• 12:53
  Why
• 12:54
  I
• 12:54
  procrastinate,
• 12:54
  but
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  feel
• 12:55
  like.
• 12:55
  And
• 12:56
  that
• 12:56
  was
• 12:56
  a
• 12:56
  long
• 12:56
  time
• 12:56
  ago,
• 12:57
  right,
• 12:57
  That
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  took
• 12:58
  that
• 12:58
  quiz.
• 12:59
  An
• 12:59
  insolent
• 13:00
  blur.
• 13:00
  But
• 13:01
  10,
• 13:01
  15
• 13:01
  years
• 13:02
  ago.
• 13:02
  Yeah,
• 13:02
  probably
• 13:03
  10
• 13:03
  years
• 13:03
  ago.
• 13:04
  Yeah.
• 13:04
  I
• 13:05
  feel
• 13:05
  like
• 13:05
  I
• 13:05
  procrastinate
• 13:06
  so
• 13:06
  much
• 13:06
  less
• 13:06
  than
• 13:07
  I
• 13:07
  used
• 13:07
  to.
• 13:09
  And
• 13:10
  like,
• 13:10
  it's.
• 13:11
  There's.
• 13:12
  Used
• 13:12
  to
• 13:12
  be.
• 13:13
  Well,
• 13:13
  when
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  was
• 13:13
  a
• 13:13
  writer,
• 13:14
  I
• 13:14
  was
• 13:14
  always.
• 13:14
  I
• 13:14
  was
• 13:14
  always
• 13:15
  had
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  deadline
• 13:15
  and
• 13:15
  I
• 13:15
  was
• 13:16
  always
• 13:16
  procrastinating
• 13:17
  until
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  deadline
• 13:18
  was
• 13:18
  very
• 13:18
  soon.
• 13:19
  But
• 13:20
  now
• 13:20
  that
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  don't
• 13:20
  have
• 13:21
  that
• 13:21
  many
• 13:21
  things
• 13:22
  I
• 13:22
  have
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  do
• 13:22
  by
• 13:23
  a
• 13:23
  certain
• 13:23
  date
• 13:24
  anymore,
• 13:24
  just
• 13:24
  the
• 13:25
  way
• 13:25
  my
• 13:26
  career
• 13:26
  is
• 13:26
  shaken
• 13:27
  out,
• 13:27
  um,
• 13:28
  I'm
• 13:28
  actually.
• 13:28
  I
• 13:29
  just
• 13:29
  do
• 13:29
  stuff
• 13:31
  in
• 13:31
  it.
• 13:31
  And
• 13:32
  that
• 13:32
  feels
• 13:32
  really
• 13:32
  good.
• 13:33
  I
• 13:33
  mean,
• 13:33
  it's.
• 13:34
  I
• 13:34
  feel
• 13:34
  like
• 13:34
  I'm
• 13:35
  where
• 13:35
  I
• 13:35
  would
• 13:36
  like
• 13:36
  to
• 13:36
  be,
• 13:36
  except
• 13:36
  for
• 13:37
  certain
• 13:37
  things
• 13:37
  that
• 13:38
  come
• 13:38
  up.
• 13:38
  So
• 13:38
  it's
• 13:39
  nice
• 13:39
  to
• 13:39
  have
• 13:40
  some
• 13:40
  strategies
• 13:41
  for
• 13:41
  dealing
• 13:41
  with
• 13:42
  those.
• 13:42
  And
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  don't
• 13:42
  know,
• 13:42
  when
• 13:43
  I
• 13:43
  was
• 13:43
  younger,
• 13:43
  boy,
• 13:43
  I
• 13:44
  really
• 13:44
  procrastinated
• 13:45
  a
• 13:45
  lot.
• 13:46
  Right.
• 13:46
  Well,
• 13:47
  I
• 13:47
  wonder
• 13:48
  if
• 13:48
  part
• 13:48
  of
• 13:49
  that
• 13:49
  is
• 13:49
  that
• 13:49
  your
• 13:51
  sort
• 13:51
  of
• 13:51
  your
• 13:52
  theme
• 13:52
  over
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  last
• 13:54
  at
• 13:54
  least
• 13:54
  year
• 13:54
  or
• 13:55
  two
• 13:55
  has
• 13:55
  been
• 13:56
  to
• 13:56
  do
• 13:56
  more
• 13:56
  of
• 13:57
  things
• 13:57
  you
• 13:57
  want
• 13:57
  to
• 13:58
  do
• 13:58
  and
• 13:58
  less
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  things
• 13:59
  you
• 13:59
  don't
• 13:59
  want
• 14:00
  to
• 14:00
  do,
• 14:00
  which
• 14:01
  is
• 14:01
  all
• 14:01
  about
• 14:02
  enjoyment.
• 14:04
  That's
• 14:04
  right.
• 14:05
  And
• 14:05
  so
• 14:05
  I've
• 14:05
  sort
• 14:06
  of,
• 14:06
  by
• 14:08
  looking
• 14:08
  at
• 14:08
  life
• 14:08
  through
• 14:09
  the
• 14:09
  filter
• 14:09
  of
• 14:09
  those,
• 14:10
  that
• 14:10
  theme
• 14:10
  of
• 14:11
  have
• 14:11
  fewer
• 14:11
  things
• 14:12
  on
• 14:12
  my
• 14:12
  task
• 14:12
  list
• 14:12
  that
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  don't
• 14:13
  want
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  do.
• 14:13
  That's
• 14:14
  what
• 14:14
  you're
• 14:14
  saying,
• 14:15
  right?
• 14:15
  Oh,
• 14:15
  I
• 14:16
  love
• 14:16
  that.
• 14:16
  Yeah.
• 14:17
  And
• 14:17
  so
• 14:17
  there's
• 14:18
  not
• 14:18
  that
• 14:18
  much
• 14:18
  that
• 14:19
  is
• 14:19
  an
• 14:20
  enjoyable
• 14:20
  how
• 14:20
  lucky
• 14:21
  am
• 14:21
  I?
• 14:21
  I
• 14:22
  mean,
• 14:22
  that's
• 14:22
  amazing.
• 14:23
  I
• 14:23
  mean,
• 14:23
  that's
• 14:23
  great.
• 14:24
  Well,
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  I
• 14:24
  think
• 14:25
  the
• 14:25
  other
• 14:25
  thing
• 14:25
  too
• 14:26
  is
• 14:26
  that
• 14:27
  you've
• 14:28
  sort
• 14:28
  of
• 14:28
  rewired
• 14:29
  your
• 14:29
  brain
• 14:30
  to
• 14:31
  enjoy
• 14:32
  having
• 14:32
  things
• 14:32
  done.
• 14:33
  So
• 14:33
  you
• 14:33
  may
• 14:33
  not
• 14:34
  enjoy
• 14:34
  the
• 14:35
  doing
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  certain
• 14:36
  things.
• 14:36
  Like
• 14:36
  you've
• 14:37
  talked
• 14:37
  about
• 14:37
  how
• 14:37
  you
• 14:37
  don't
• 14:38
  particularly
• 14:38
  enjoy
• 14:39
  the
• 14:39
  payroll
• 14:40
  aspect
• 14:41
  of
• 14:41
  your
• 14:41
  business,
• 14:42
  but
• 14:43
  you
• 14:43
  enjoy
• 14:43
  having
• 14:44
  it
• 14:44
  done.
• 14:44
  You
• 14:44
  enjoy
• 14:45
  having
• 14:45
  it
• 14:45
  done
• 14:45
  on
• 14:45
  Time
• 14:47
  you
• 14:47
  enjoy
• 14:48
  not
• 14:48
  having
• 14:48
  to
• 14:49
  worry
• 14:49
  about
• 14:49
  it.
• 14:50
  Like,
• 14:50
  so
• 14:51
  you
• 14:51
  can
• 14:52
  bring
• 14:52
  that
• 14:53
  feeling
• 14:53
  of
• 14:54
  enjoyment
• 14:54
  in
• 14:54
  sort
• 14:55
  of
• 14:55
  from
• 14:55
  different
• 14:55
  angles
• 14:57
  that
• 14:57
  allow
• 14:57
  you
• 14:58
  to
• 14:59
  get
• 14:59
  it
• 14:59
  done
• 14:59
  more
• 15:00
  easily
• 15:00
  than
• 15:01
  if
• 15:01
  you
• 15:02
  were
• 15:02
  coming
• 15:02
  at
• 15:02
  it
• 15:03
  from
• 15:03
  a
• 15:03
  place
• 15:03
  of,
• 15:03
  I
• 15:04
  don't
• 15:04
  like
• 15:04
  this,
• 15:04
  I
• 15:04
  don't
• 15:05
  want
• 15:05
  to
• 15:05
  do
• 15:05
  it,
• 15:06
  blah,
• 15:06
  blah,
• 15:06
  blah.
• 15:07
  Right.
• 15:08
  Yeah,
• 15:08
  that's
• 15:09
  true.
• 15:09
  And
• 15:09
  I'm
• 15:09
  always.
• 15:09
  I'm
• 15:10
  big
• 15:10
  on
• 15:10
  taking
• 15:10
  the.
• 15:11
  The
• 15:11
  wins.
• 15:12
  Right.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:12
  I
• 15:13
  applaud
• 15:13
  for
• 15:14
  any
• 15:14
  little
• 15:15
  tiny
• 15:15
  achievement
• 15:16
  which
• 15:16
  makes
• 15:16
  my
• 15:16
  husband
• 15:16
  laugh.
• 15:18
  Like
• 15:18
  if
• 15:18
  I
• 15:19
  can't
• 15:19
  think
• 15:19
  of
• 15:19
  a
• 15:19
  good
• 15:19
  example,
• 15:20
  but,
• 15:21
  you
• 15:21
  know,
• 15:22
  throwing
• 15:22
  a
• 15:23
  piece,
• 15:23
  a
• 15:24
  piece
• 15:24
  of
• 15:24
  paper
• 15:24
  into
• 15:24
  a
• 15:25
  trash
• 15:25
  can,
• 15:25
  if
• 15:25
  I
• 15:25
  make
• 15:26
  it,
• 15:26
  I
• 15:27
  act
• 15:27
  like
• 15:27
  I
• 15:28
  just
• 15:28
  ran
• 15:28
  a
• 15:28
  marathon.
• 15:30
  But
• 15:30
  anyway,
• 15:30
  I
• 15:31
  like
• 15:31
  taking
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  little
• 15:31
  wins.
• 15:33
  That
• 15:33
  gives
• 15:33
  me
• 15:34
  a
• 15:34
  little
• 15:34
  bit.
• 15:34
  Well,
• 15:34
  I
• 15:35
  think
• 15:35
  that's
• 15:35
  worth
• 15:36
  another
• 15:37
  episode
• 15:37
  because
• 15:38
  that's
• 15:39
  huge
• 15:39
  and
• 15:41
  that
• 15:41
  can
• 15:42
  really
• 15:42
  propel
• 15:43
  you
• 15:43
  forward.
• 15:44
  But
• 15:45
  I
• 15:45
  just
• 15:45
  feel
• 15:45
  like
• 15:46
  you
• 15:47
  have
• 15:47
  done
• 15:47
  such
• 15:47
  a
• 15:47
  good
• 15:48
  job
• 15:48
  of
• 15:49
  finding
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  enjoyment
• 15:50
  and
• 15:50
  celebrating
• 15:51
  like
• 15:51
  that
• 15:51
  is
• 15:52
  enjoyable.
• 15:53
  Right?
• 15:53
  Yeah.
• 15:54
  Yeah.
• 15:54
  I
• 15:54
  do
• 15:54
  feel
• 15:55
  really,
• 15:56
  really
• 15:56
  fortunate
• 15:57
  that
• 15:57
  way.
• 15:58
  Without
• 15:58
  a
• 15:58
  doubt.
• 15:58
  Yeah.
• 15:59
  So
• 16:00
  now
• 16:01
  we
• 16:01
  know
• 16:01
  that
• 16:03
  enjoyment
• 16:03
  is
• 16:04
  my
• 16:04
  motivator.
• 16:06
  What
• 16:06
  causes
• 16:06
  you
• 16:06
  to
• 16:07
  procrastinate?
• 16:09
  Depending
• 16:09
  on
• 16:09
  the
• 16:10
  day
• 16:10
  and
• 16:11
  the.
• 16:13
  I
• 16:13
  guess
• 16:13
  the
• 16:14
  thing
• 16:14
  I'm
• 16:14
  procrastinating
• 16:15
  on,
• 16:15
  it
• 16:16
  goes
• 16:16
  between
• 16:16
  distractibility
• 16:17
  and
• 16:17
  confidence.
• 16:19
  Interesting.
• 16:20
  Yeah.
• 16:22
  I
• 16:23
  have
• 16:24
  been
• 16:24
  diagnosed
• 16:24
  with
• 16:24
  ADHD
• 16:25
  in
• 16:26
  my
• 16:26
  50s,
• 16:27
  which
• 16:28
  was
• 16:30
  life
• 16:30
  changing
• 16:31
  to
• 16:32
  get
• 16:32
  that
• 16:32
  diagnosis,
• 16:33
  and
• 16:33
  it
• 16:33
  sort
• 16:33
  of
• 16:35
  made
• 16:35
  a.
• 16:36
  I
• 16:36
  don't
• 16:37
  know,
• 16:37
  it
• 16:37
  made
• 16:38
  a
• 16:39
  lot
• 16:39
  of
• 16:39
  things
• 16:39
  in
• 16:39
  my
• 16:40
  entire
• 16:40
  life
• 16:40
  make
• 16:41
  a
• 16:41
  whole
• 16:41
  lot
• 16:41
  more
• 16:41
  sense
• 16:42
  once
• 16:42
  I
• 16:42
  started
• 16:43
  understanding
• 16:43
  what
• 16:43
  ADHD
• 16:44
  really
• 16:44
  is
• 16:45
  and
• 16:45
  how
• 16:46
  it
• 16:46
  impacts
• 16:46
  your
• 16:46
  life.
• 16:48
  But
• 16:49
  I
• 16:49
  have
• 16:49
  a
• 16:50
  real
• 16:50
  problem,
• 16:50
  especially
• 16:51
  if
• 16:51
  I'm
• 16:51
  not
• 16:51
  taking
• 16:52
  my
• 16:52
  medication,
• 16:54
  with
• 16:54
  getting
• 16:55
  distracted.
• 16:56
  And
• 16:56
  so
• 16:57
  that's
• 16:58
  a
• 16:58
  big
• 16:59
  procrastination
• 17:00
  thing.
• 17:03
  Or
• 17:03
  it
• 17:04
  shows
• 17:04
  up
• 17:04
  as
• 17:05
  I,
• 17:06
  I
• 17:06
  want
• 17:06
  to
• 17:06
  set
• 17:06
  the
• 17:07
  scene
• 17:07
  perfectly
• 17:08
  so
• 17:09
  that
• 17:09
  I
• 17:09
  am
• 17:10
  ready
• 17:10
  to
• 17:11
  get
• 17:11
  started.
• 17:11
  I
• 17:12
  have
• 17:12
  everything
• 17:12
  I,
• 17:12
  you
• 17:13
  know,
• 17:13
  and
• 17:13
  then
• 17:13
  that's
• 17:13
  impossible
• 17:14
  because
• 17:14
  everything
• 17:15
  is
• 17:16
  vying
• 17:16
  for
• 17:16
  my
• 17:16
  attention.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  then
• 17:18
  confidence
• 17:19
  is.
• 17:19
  The
• 17:19
  other
• 17:20
  one
• 17:20
  is
• 17:20
  like,
• 17:21
  I
• 17:21
  don't
• 17:21
  like
• 17:21
  to
• 17:22
  do
• 17:22
  things
• 17:22
  I'm
• 17:22
  not
• 17:22
  good
• 17:23
  at.
• 17:24
  And
• 17:24
  so
• 17:25
  if
• 17:25
  I'm
• 17:25
  not
• 17:26
  sure
• 17:26
  that
• 17:27
  I'm
• 17:27
  going
• 17:27
  to
• 17:28
  be
• 17:28
  able
• 17:28
  to
• 17:28
  do
• 17:28
  this
• 17:29
  in
• 17:29
  the
• 17:29
  way
• 17:30
  I
• 17:30
  want
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  do
• 17:30
  it
• 17:30
  or
• 17:31
  think
• 17:31
  it
• 17:31
  needs
• 17:31
  to
• 17:31
  be
• 17:31
  done,
• 17:32
  it's
• 17:32
  hard
• 17:32
  for
• 17:33
  me
• 17:33
  to
• 17:33
  get
• 17:33
  started.
• 17:36
  So.
• 17:37
  Yeah,
• 17:37
  I
• 17:37
  can
• 17:38
  relate
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  that.
• 17:41
  Yeah.
• 17:41
  Very
• 17:41
  interesting.
• 17:42
  Well,
• 17:42
  a
• 17:42
  little
• 17:43
  insight
• 17:43
  into
• 17:43
  you,
• 17:44
  Shannon.
• 17:45
  Yeah.
• 17:45
  Yeah.
• 17:46
  But
• 17:47
  I
• 17:47
  mean,
• 17:47
  the,
• 17:47
  the
• 17:48
  bottom
• 17:48
  line
• 17:48
  about
• 17:49
  procrastination
• 17:50
  is
• 17:50
  that
• 17:51
  there's
• 17:52
  some
• 17:52
  reason
• 17:53
  that
• 17:53
  you
• 17:54
  feel
• 17:54
  bad
• 17:54
  when
• 17:55
  you
• 17:55
  think
• 17:55
  about
• 17:55
  doing
• 17:56
  this
• 17:56
  thing.
• 17:57
  And
• 17:57
  so
• 17:58
  instead
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  doing
• 17:59
  it,
• 17:59
  you
• 17:59
  do
• 17:59
  something
• 18:00
  that
• 18:02
  either
• 18:03
  makes
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  feel
• 18:03
  good
• 18:03
  or
• 18:04
  at
• 18:04
  least
• 18:04
  doesn't
• 18:05
  make
• 18:05
  you
• 18:05
  feel
• 18:05
  bad.
• 18:06
  And
• 18:07
  so
• 18:07
  once
• 18:08
  you
• 18:08
  sort
• 18:09
  of
• 18:09
  understand
• 18:10
  that's
• 18:10
  what's
• 18:10
  going
• 18:10
  on
• 18:11
  and
• 18:11
  can
• 18:12
  figure
• 18:12
  out
• 18:12
  ways
• 18:13
  to
• 18:14
  feel
• 18:14
  good
• 18:15
  about
• 18:16
  this
• 18:16
  task
• 18:16
  that
• 18:17
  needs
• 18:17
  to
• 18:17
  get
• 18:17
  done,
• 18:18
  then
• 18:18
  the
• 18:19
  easier
• 18:19
  it
• 18:19
  is
• 18:19
  to
• 18:19
  move
• 18:20
  forward
• 18:21
  with
• 18:21
  it.
• 18:22
  Yeah.
• 18:23
  Well,
• 18:23
  that's
• 18:23
  great.
• 18:23
  Well,
• 18:24
  maybe
• 18:24
  this
• 18:24
  will
• 18:25
  help
• 18:26
  folks
• 18:26
  who
• 18:26
  are
• 18:26
  having
• 18:27
  issues
• 18:27
  with
• 18:27
  procrastination.
• 18:29
  Yeah,
• 18:30
  we
• 18:30
  can
• 18:30
  hope.
• 18:30
  Don't,
• 18:31
  don't
• 18:31
  put
• 18:31
  off
• 18:32
  checking
• 18:32
  out
• 18:32
  the
• 18:32
  quiz.
• 18:35
  You're
• 18:35
  so
• 18:35
  clever.
• 18:38
  No,
• 18:38
  truly
• 18:38
  though,
• 18:39
  that
• 18:39
  quiz
• 18:39
  is
• 18:39
  really
• 18:39
  helpful.
• 18:42
  And
• 18:43
  it's
• 18:43
  just,
• 18:44
  you
• 18:44
  know,
• 18:44
  there's
• 18:45
  there,
• 18:45
  it's
• 18:45
  not
• 18:46
  that
• 18:46
  trying
• 18:46
  to
• 18:46
  sell
• 18:46
  you
• 18:47
  anything.
• 18:47
  It
• 18:47
  really
• 18:47
  is
• 18:48
  trying
• 18:48
  to
• 18:48
  be
• 18:48
  a
• 18:49
  resource
• 18:49
  for
• 18:49
  people.
