EP. 56 - - - DEADLINES: My Dog Ate My Homework Only Works Once?

I'm late! I'm late! What now? In this thought-provoking episode, "DEADLINES: My Dog Ate My Homework Only Works Once?", the group saddles up to explore our complex relationship with time, accountability, and progress. Together, we dive into the psychology behind deadlines — why they matter, how they shape our habits, and what they reveal about our priorities. We unpack the shift from merely surviving within the constraints of time to intentionally using it as a tool for creativity and growth. Through humor and honesty, the conversation challenges the idea of productivity as a race against the clock, inviting listeners to redefine what it means to use time wisely. Tune in to discover how setting clear deadlines can help you build momentum, focus your energy, and transform the way you create, grow, and live. ===============================================================================The Dismount Squad creates 6 questions to discuss on each episode.
