Sometimes they've been tricked into thinking their process is procrastination.

They go, I turned in a paper late in college.

It's how I think best.

I like to wait until the last second.

And so there's a number of different reasons people give if you actually ask them, okay, why do you put off the things you wish you were putting on?

Yeah, I would 100% agree with that.

There are certain goals that everybody thinks they're supposed to have.

You know, I live in Nashville.

No one here thinks they're supposed to record an album.

You very rarely meet somebody who goes, yeah, I'm supposed to do a folk album.

I've always known it.

But book writing is one of those things that people think they're supposed to write a book.

So yeah, I mean, to me, that's a fake goal.

And what I always tell people is, let's just do a seven-day audition.

Let's audition that goal.

Like, let's try 15 minutes a day for seven days in a row.

And if you won't pay that fee, you're not going to pay the rest of it.

And you can enjoy removing that goal.

Like, there's freedom in not chasing goals you really don't care about.

Yeah, there's a lot of middle.
