Episode Description from the Publisher

Procrastination has always been blamed on laziness, weak discipline, or poor time management. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy makes the case that all of that is wrong, and that the smartest, most disciplined people still procrastinate for a reason no productivity hack can fix. Drawing on research from Dr. Tim Pychyl and the Procrastination Research Group at the University of Ottawa, Darren reveals what procrastination actually is, and why it has nothing to do with managing your time. This episode dives into the true root cause, and sets up the ways to finally work around it. Join the A-Team. One Mission. One Team. One Standard.
