    Why You Procrastinate (And How to Finally Stop) with Itamar Shatz

    In this episode I sit down with Cambridge University researcher and lecturer Itamar Shatz to explore why we procrastinate, what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how we can stop relying on willpower to get things done. Together, we unpack why procrastination isn’t simply laziness, how fear, uncertainty and perfectionism can keep us stuck, and why distractions like social media are often a symptom rather than the real problem. Itamar also shares practical strategies from his book Solving Procrastination for making action easier and creating systems that work with our behaviour rather than against it. What we cover: Why we procrastinate, even when we know exactly what we should be doingHow perfectionism, fear and uncertainty can make procrastination worseWhy social media may not be the real reason you're avoiding important tasksHow breaking big goals into tiny, manageable steps can make it easier to take actionWhy systems, reducing friction and the “reality rule” can be more effective than relying on willpower Whether you're putting off a career change, struggling to start an important project, avoiding your tax return or simply finding yourself scrolling instead of taking action, this conversation offers a practical, research-based approach to understanding procrastination, and finally doing something about it.
