Why do we procrastinate, and how can we stop?

Procrastination isn’t about laziness—it’s about how our brains are wired. In this episode, we explore:

✔️ The science behind procrastination
✔️ The psychological traps that keep us stuck
✔️ The four types of procrastinators—are you a Perfectionist, Dreamer, Avoider, or Busy Bee?
✔️ Real-life case studies of people who broke the cycle
✔️ Practical, science-backed techniques to get things done

Stick around for our Learn Vocabulary in Context segment, where we break down key words and phrases like instant gratification, decision paralysis, self-sabotage, temptation bundling, and accountability—all in real-life contexts.
