Why We Procrastinate — Fear of Failing, Fear of Winning, Fear of Standing Still
I procrastinated on recording this episode about procrastination, which felt like a sign I was researching the right topic. Turns out "I'm just lazy" isn't really the answer.

This one's half-baked in the best way. Why do I procrastinate, why do we procrastinate, fear of failure, fear of success, productive procrastination
