Why We Procrastinate (and What to Do About It) | Neuropsychologist Tells All
Why do students wait until the last minute? Why is starting a math worksheet harder than running a mile? Pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Zach Sussman joins us to unpack the real reasons behind procrastination—especially in students with ADHD. From time blindness to anxiety, he reframes task initiation as a neurological process, not a character flaw.
Dr. Sussman is a Colorado state licensed, APPCN-trained pediatric neuropsychologist specializing in the evaluation of learning disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and twice-exceptionality. His insight into the emotional and executive functioning roots of procrastination offers clarity for parents, students, and educators alike.
Whether you're a student feeling stuck or a parent feeling frustrated, this episode will help you shift from blame to strategy.
