This podcast is an excerpt from The Procrastination Equation, a book that examines the psychological and neurological underpinnings of procrastination. The author, Piers Steel, uses a variety of research to explain why people procrastinate and then presents a Procrastination Equation, a formula that attempts to explain the dynamics of procrastination. The book goes on to analyze the different elements of procrastination, such as impulsiveness, lack of value, and low expectations, as well as the impact procrastination can have on different areas of life, such as finances, relationships, and health. The author also offers strategies for combatting procrastination, such as setting achievable goals, finding enjoyment in tasks, and creating a supportive environment.
