Description

Procrastination isn't a time management problem; it’s a social defense mechanism.  According to Status Game theory, we delay high-stakes work because our brains view potential failure as a threat to our social rank. We trade future wealth for current comfort, protecting our ego by staying stagnant. To win, stop managing your calendar and start managing your fear of perception. Pick the project you’re most afraid to show others, finish the first draft, and submit it before you feel ready.
