In today’s episode, we break down the six distinct ways of procrastination and how each one delays your progress in a different way. 

Once you understand the pattern you fall into, you can interrupt it faster, reclaim your momentum, and rebuild the self-trust you need to reach your goals.

Inside the episode, you’ll learn about:

1. The Overplanner
Why constant organizing and researching feels productive but secretly keeps you from starting.

2. The Avoider
How dodging discomfort stretches your timeline and shrinks your confidence.

3. The Perfecter
The truth about waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.

4. The Overthinker
How too many mental loops drain your energy and block decision-making.

5. The Distractor
Why staying busy with low-stakes tasks is not the same as moving forward.

6. The Fader
What happens when initial excitement fades and consistency disappears.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly which type you lean toward and the small shifts that help you break the pattern before it derails your goals.

If you’ve ever wondered why you “can’t just start,” this episode hands you the clarity you’ve been missing.
