Ford sits down with procrastination coach Chris Abdey, founder of The Procrastination Station, to uncover the hidden reasons behind procrastination.

Chris also shares a powerful personal story about how last-minute improvisation led to an unexpected academic success—and how this experience reinforced a pattern of high-stakes procrastination. Whether you struggle with work deadlines, personal projects, or just showing up on time, this episode will give you practical insights and a fresh perspective on why you procrastinate and how to break the cycle.
