The Mom Sweat Sanity Podcast with Brittany Anderson

Ep. 093 Procrastination Nation: Navigating the Art of Getting Things Done with Procrastination Researcher Dr Fuschia Sirois

Referred to me by Adam Grant, Dr. Sirois was brought to my attention and I went down the research rabbit-hole on all she has to offer. This is a great conversation not to miss! Tune in today.

In this fascinating episode, we explore the intriguing subject of procrastination with our esteemed guest, Dr. Fuschia Sirois. An internationally recognized expert in social and health psychology, Dr. Sirois provides valuable insights rooted in her remarkable research on procrastination.

We delve into thought-provoking topics such as the link between procrastination and age, the role of technology, and the implications of delaying tasks on mental and physical health. This discussion could provide the comprehension and strategies you need to overcome procrastination.

Through an open dialogue, we debunk the misconception of procrastination being purely caused by laziness. Interestingly, fear, self-doubt, and negative emotions emerge as strong contributing factors. The episode outlines actionable strategies to equip listeners with the understanding and tools required to challenge these emotional barriers, ultimately leading to increased productivity and improved mental well-being.

Our discussion not only offers a broader understanding of why we procrastinate but also addresses the powerful influence of technology and social media on this behavior. As Dr. Sirois clearly states, while technology fosters an environment that encourages procrastination, the root cause is our struggle with negative emotions.

For anyone regularly putting off tasks, this conversation can potentially provide a way out. Filled with practical advice backed by scientific research, this episode can help you take decisive action against procrastination.

Join us on this thought-provoking journey into the world of procrastination, its impacts, and strategies for overcoming it. To delve deeper into Dr. Fuschia Sirois's work, visit her website, watch her TED Talk, or pick up her renowned self-help book on procrastination.
