We've never been truly taught how to start.

And that reframing just gave me something new.

It unlocked something new for me because I've spent years thinking like, dude, something is wrong with you.

Like your NBA highlights and now golf YouTube problem is like, like if you would just be more disciplined, right?

You know, like you look at these people who are just getting so much done.

It feels like they have a secret superpower that I somehow just missed out on.

But in this book, a friend John says procrastination is not a character flaw.

It's a coping mechanism.

And if it's learned, it can be unlearned.

Isn't that awesome?

All right, so here's the deal.

Here is the framework that John lays out in his book.

He calls it the four permissions.

Okay, four permissions.

Permission to dream, permission to plan, permission to do, permission to review.

Okay, I'm going to take you through these four permissions.

Okay, now these are simple enough to fit on a post-it note, but they're powerful enough to actually change your life.
