    Ep5. Stop Letting Tomorrow Steal Today | Overcoming The Thief Of Time - Procrastination

    Ever notice how “I’ll start tomorrow” feels comforting for five minutes and heavy for five days? Join me as I pull back the curtain on procrastination and reveal it as an emotional regulation habit—fuelled by fear, overwhelm, and perfectionism—rather than a simple time problem. From there, I share a step by step practical, compassionate approach to starting now, so you can trade guilt and mental clutter for calm momentum and real results. I break down the connection between perfectionism and procrastination and show how it quietly destroys self-trust. You’ll learn why clarity is created by action, and how to use aligned, values-driven steps to make progress without waiting for perfect conditions. I also dive into some timeless lessons from Brian Tracy’s book, Eat That Frog so you can turn them into simple daily moves:  Identify your most impactful taskDo it firstPlan in advanceApply the 80-20 ruleBreak big efforts into smaller bites that feel doable. Finally I share concrete tools you can use immediately to help you overcome “the thief of time” - Procrastination. If you’re ready to stop rehearsing life and start living it, this conversation gives you the framework and the nudge to act. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s been waiting for the right moment, and leave a quick review to help others find us. What’s the one frog you’ll eat today?
