In this episode of Words, Wobbles, and Wisdom, Annmarie Miles takes a look at the classic procrastination trap—waiting for the perfect Monday to start making changes. Whether it’s dieting, exercising, or tackling a long-overdue project, so many people delay taking action, thinking that ‘Monday’ will bring fresh motivation. But what if Monday never comes?

Annmarie introduces the psychology behind this mindset, delving into the ‘Three Ds’ - something she learned on the DreamBuilder course run by her colleagues at TechPixies. Dissuasion, Distraction, and DEFCON - these keep people stuck in a cycle of delay. 

Through relatable stories, humour, and practical tips, this episode will help listeners break free from procrastination and start taking action today.

What Listeners Will Learn:

✅ Why ‘I’ll start Monday’ rarely leads to real change
✅ How the ‘Three Ds’—Dissuasion, Distraction, and DEFCON—impact motivation
✅ The hidden ways the brain encourages procrastination
✅ Simple and achievable steps to take action immediately
✅ How small wins are the key to long-term success
