All of us procrastinate on some level, with no exceptions. What is procrastination, and why do we do it? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why we procrastinate. They also discuss what makes us stop procrastinating. We all know that up to a certain point, we stop procrastinating and do what we need to do. Other times, when we're lucky, it has already been done for us, which in a way, rewards our procrastination and increases the chances that we will do the same next time something similar comes up. We can set ourselves up for success if we set priorities and frame the situation so that getting it done is more rewarding or necessary than procrastinating.
