If you’ve ever found yourself pulling multiple all-nighters to meet a long-known deadline, or are constantly putting off things on your to-do list, you might be one of the estimated 20% of the population who procrastinate. In the final episode of the first season of What Matters Most, good friends and co-hosts Jacqui Maguire, a clinical psychologist, and Antonia Prebble, actor and presenter, have left the procrastination episode until (***joke alert***) the very end . 

In Volume V of What Matters Most, the pair delve into the different neuroscience theories around why we procrastinate and Jacqui says that it’s not a time management issue, it’s an emotional regulation one. They also look at why we even put off things that we enjoy or we know are good for us, and why self-compassion, rather than self-judgment, is the key to helping us bring a better workflow into our lives.
