  • 4. How I beat procrastination

    Procrastination hits most of us at one point or other. To some it's merely prolonging making a decision, but to others it's completely debilitating and prevents them from doing anything at all.


    This week Craig talks about how procrastination has impacted him in the past pre-depression and during depression, and how he dealt with the latest occurrence just this week.

    • 3. The Power of a Routine

      Craig talks about how routine helped him recover from depression, and continues to help in managing his mental health.

      He talks about:

      • the four elements that make up his routine
      • how he created the routine
      • where he's at now

        • Covering mental health, physical health and diet, the change in his life has been substantial.

      • 2. Friendship and loneliness as a man

        Ever feel like you're lonely?

        Do you look around sometimes and wonder where all the friends went that you had when you were younger?

        Well as I found out, it's not an uncommon thing for men to feel as they get older, so in this episode I'll cover:

        • a bit of my own experience with friendship and loneliness
        • some interesting things I found out when researching this
        • a book that covers a lot of this along with some things you can do to help this

          • It's an interesting topic and one I'm really interested to learn more about, so as I do, we may well come back to this again in a future episode.

        • 1. How I changed my life when I had depression

          In this, my first episode of Season 1, I wanted to talk about where I've been and the changes I've made in my life.

          In this episode, we cover:

          • COVID, working from home, and the loneliness that came from that
          • the difficulties in working in an environment which lacks clarity, and the impact on my mood and motivation
          • my diagnosis of clinical depression, and the help I got through the NHS
          • my addiction to gaming, and how this was a space to hide from real life
          • a little about counselling/therapy, and other things that helped me get my life from where it was then in 2020, to where it is now in 2023.

            • It's a bit raw and personal in places, and I've deliberately left it that way - I don't want this to feel curated, I want it to feel real and I want it to resonate with people who have gone through this or are going through it now.  I want you to know that it's possible to get through it and I hope that this podcast can help you with that.

            Anyway please enjoy, and if you do, leave me a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
