#171 Why procrastination is not a character flaw

About this episode

This episode explores the underlying causes of procrastination in business, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nervous system and creating supportive systems.

In this episode, I’m exploring what might actually sit underneath procrastination in business. Rather than treating procrastination as laziness or lack of discipline, I want to look at the nervous system, overwhelm, visibility fears, exhaustion, and decision fatigue.I talk about: why visibility may not feel safe overwhelm with money and systems the impact of chronic stress and low capacity simplifying daily life to reduce decision fatigue being more intentional about business advice the planning system I use to organize my business gently and sustainably categorizing tasks by creative, admin, and social energy This episode is an invitation to build systems that support your real life rather than pushing yourself beyond your limits.
