Why You Procrastinate—and How to Stop

Why do we delay work we genuinely care about—even when we know we’ll regret it later? In Solving Procrastination, Dr. Itamar Shatz reveals the psychological tug-of-war behind our tendency to put things off—and explains why better time management isn’t always the answer. Then, in Procrastination Proof, Jon Acuff offers a practical system for closing the gap between intention and action. Together, these books explore how perfectionism, fear, and our preference for immediate comfort keep us stuck—and how understanding your particular pattern of delay can help you finally move forward. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
