Procrastination: Eh, I'll Think Of A Better Title Later

Wasting time can perhaps be a useful tool, so we suggest using the Mere Mortals as your procrastination destination.In Episode #322 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the definition of the word, why cavemen could have saved calories by being lazy, whether it is possible to procrastinate without self-consciousness, a cool graph by the writer of Atomic Habits, why procrastination might actually have some benefits, personal ways (and for how long) we avoid priority tasks and how our tactics for deal with procrastination differ greatly. A big thanks to Dave Jones, Petar the Pure, Liam F and Mr Joey Broad Shoulders for the support this week. A handsome bunch to say the least!As always, we hope you enjoy.
