233: [Emotions And Writing Series] Procrastination Is Actually About Feelings

Welcome to the second episode of the 'Emotions and Writing' podcast series. Today, we are tackling procrastination. Procrastination is usually associated with negative self-talk, like laziness or ineptitude. But the real reason behind it is emotional. I start the episode by discussing how academics think about procrastination and why that mindset backfires. Then, I share a framework to help you get out of the cycle of procrastination around a writing project. There is a very close connection between procrastination and emotions. Procrastination isn't about productivity; it's about feelings. If you struggle with procrastination and want to get to the heart of the problem, this episode is for you.
