Why You Keep Telling Yourself I'll Do It Tomorrow


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. K breaks down procrastination in a way that cuts past motivation hacks, productivity systems, and self blame. He explains why procrastination is not a character flaw, lack of discipline, or missing willpower, but the result of how the mind operates and how we relate to it. When we stay fused with our thoughts, the mind quietly decides for us, then keeps us busy with internal debate so we feel like we tried.

The conversation reframes discipline and self respect as actions, not traits you acquire. Dr. K explores how avoidance builds momentum over time, why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck, and how believing there is a finished version of yourself actually undermines change. The episode offers a grounded, sometimes uncomfortable approach to breaking the cycle by changing how you respond to your mind in the moment, not by perfecting your system or your future self.

Topics Include:

-Why procrastination feels like conflict even when the decision is already made

-Why discipline and self respect are verbs, not things you possess
-How the mind manipulates you by offering better plans for tomorrow
-The difference between training your mind and negotiating with it
-Why insight alone does not change behavior
