The ProcrastiN8r Podcast

They're baffled! Absolutely baffled! You remember how  a few weeks ago, on Labor Day  I said that business owners were celebrating the predicted end of this supposed "labor shortage" because that marks the day unemployment benefits came to an end? Well, guess what? Those job applications didn't come pouring in, as they would have hoped.  In fact, people are still sitting on their asses,...

I want to dive back to the roots of what this podcast was originally all about -- lazy online moneymaking! While that's no longer the focus of what we do here, there's no doubt that making money from the couch, putting in as little effort as possible is PART of the whole lazy mantra we're trying to achieve here. Free money is free money. Low effort results are low effort results. So I want to intr...

Oh hey would you look at that! The government gave us the oh so generous favor of taking away unemployment benefits for 8 million Americans, on Labor Day no less. What a kick in the face, ya know? Telling us to get back to work ON Labor Day. Sheesh. Comes at no surprise though, really. After all, Labor Day was originally sort of putting rose petals on a pile of shit. President Cleveland approved i...

The world is full of d-bags. They demand having it their way, regardless of your (or anyone else's) feelings. They resort to passive aggressive comments to try and tear you down. They're flat out just plan ole mean. And the icing on the cake is that they actually see themselves as the center of the universe -- the world revolves around them...or at least they'd like to think so. Here's the thing f...

We regret a lot of things in life, don't we? We wrap ourselves in thoughts of the wouldas, couldas, and shouldas. If I did just this ONE thing different...then I woulda.... If I said just this ONE thing instead...then I coulda... I know I did this ONE thing....but I shoulda... One thing is all it takes to change the past, huh? That one line you said that ended your relationship. That one sell from...

Silence is a virtue. Ya know especially in the age of Social Media, where anything and everything needs to be posted about. Social Media is the equivalent of putting up your picture on a giant billboard on a main traffic highway. It's an advertisement for what you've been up to...or at the very least the idealistic view of what you've been up to. Man, I'll tell you , Social Media ain't nothin' but...

Success... What a word. It's often associated with the type of car you drive, the size of the house you own, and the number in your bank account. But all of those are just... things . Things that really don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. I mean think about it. What are you going to do as you're lying on your death bed? Are you going to want to walk through your large mansion  just one...

What if you won the lottery? Yeah. BIG what IF... The chances are are low. But what if you did so happen to  actually  win that goddamn mega million jackpot, huh? What would you do with all that cash? Now, if your answer is something along the lines of "pay off this" or "invest in that", I'm guessing you're not really one to purchase lottery tickets in the first place, which is...

No doubt, procrastination is something I always condone. But you have to realize that there's a difference. There's a difference between that and hesitation. See,  when you procrastinate you want to do something later. When you hesitate though you want to do something  now , but just don't. Hesitation is fueled by insecurity. It's locking yourself in the perma-mode of thinking: I can't or I won't....

Arguing is stressful. It’s a lot of emotional and mental effort to deal with. It turns an otherwise slight disagreement into a huge dramatic event. It morphs a small irritation into an overwhelming vocal battle. Needless to say, it’s not the lazy way to cause an argument in any sort of way. Arguing accomplishes absolutely nothing and leaves the both of you involved absolutely drained , complete wi...

Busy, Busy, Busy. We're all busy bees. Doing one thing after another. Constant. Nonstop. Hell isn't fire and flames. Hell is an eternal loop of errand running. It's torture to put yourself through that, to make yourself busy all the time. Never taking the time to relax. Never taking the time to... live. Just always bouncing about from one task to the next. But c'mon, let's be real here. You're not...

Hey I know things are probably pretty stressful right now... You're going through some shit. You're slapped with one dilemma after another. BAM! BAM! It's like nonstop stressors pummeling you to oblivion. But the least you could do, despite all this shit going on, is not worry about it. The least you can do is relax. Now, relax. What do I mean when I say that? Do I mean go lie down on the couch an...

You know, we all got a lot of shit to do. ...And the list keeps piling up. Seems like the more we tick off our to-do list, the more things are added to it. Three steps forward. Two steps back. It's a never-ending cycle of doing a lot, doing even more, but feeling like  nothing's  actually getting done. We're tryna juggle around balls of multi-tasking. We're spinning plates. All while walking on a...

Hobbies are lame...at least the way they're portrayed in society. Hobbies are portrayed as some sort of grand feat you must pull off. Make it a passion project. Get good. Achieve something awesome. Do your best. Ya know, those are the types of things were told in regard to a hobby. But I want to give you the lazy man's way to do a hobby and it's just two words: ENJOY IT! Enjoy what you do. Make it...

Man, life sucks sometimes . Things can get pretty harsh. An unexpected parking ticket, the death of a loved one, a sick pet, rainy weather, lost keys or wallet, a long line at the supermarket --- there's a range of turmoil, from everyday minor inconveniences to major traumatic events. But man, no matter what , no matter how heavy shit hits the fan, you gotta keep in mind -- it's all good. Now, I d...

We're pressured to do a lot of things... Work hard, make money, build a huge social circle, etc.. But living under pressure means living under obligation. It means doing what you're told, instead of what you want. It means living up to the expectations of  others  and not abiding by your own way of life. There's no need to pressure yourself. To do  anything  After all, that's extra effort and extr...

There are a lot of expectations in society when it comes to certain achievements. You're expected to follow this sort of time line ON SCHEDULE. Graduate from college by 22, get married by 25, establish a solid career by 28, have a kid by 30, buy a house by 32. You get the gist. There's this "Life Itinerary" you're expected to follow. But we procrastin8rs we don't like due dates or schedu...

Don't be bothered. Period. Look. shit is gonna happen. Things are gonna take a turn for the worse, sometimes. Your dog will shit on the brand new carpet, your car will break down in the middle of the highway, you'll get a parking ticket for running 5 minutes late on your meter. But it's one thing for something bad to happen. It's another to let it actually bother you. See, if you let things bother...

Holy shit, fam. It's happeneing! It was only a matter of time before people stopped wanting to work for slave wages and embraced their inner-sloth instead. If there's one thing good about this whole damn pandemic, it's that it created the opportunity to wake people up. See, a lot of people lost their jobs. (That's unfortunate in itself but does have a happy ending) They had to file for unemploymen...

Woah, wait, hey now! A guy who goes by the name "ProcrastiN8r" is saying that you shouldn't always procrastinate and there's actually an exception? I know. Seems quite ironic, if we're being frank here. But if you've been following my blog up until his point, you know that I've basically condemned using the word "always" or "never", since those words create such perma...

Never and Always. Those are words you should cross out your dictionary. "It's NEVER going to happen" "He NEVER does this" "She NEVER does that." Never? Really? What a word with such permanence and absolute. Likewise, there's always "It's ALWAYS like this" "This ALWAYS happens" "He ALWAYS gets this way." Have you ever considered, that mayb...

If you wait until last minute ...then it only takes a MINUTE to do it XD Okay but seriously, waiting 'til the last minute, contrary to popular belief,  does  have its perks. It gives you a real adrenaline kick. Like it's now or never. It really ups the ante and makes productivity so much more...productive. I mean if you have all the time in the world to get something done, it's easy to get distrac...

just because you don't necessarily get it done within the speculated time frame (of the next 24 hours), doesn't mean you WON'T actually do it ever. "Tomorrow", to the procrastin8r, is really a word used to say "at some point in the future". But that's the thing, it will happen. You'll make it happen. You believe you CAN make it happen. You're just putting it off...for a bit. Th...

Sorry Not Sorry . Ya know, I hate that phrase. You're not sorry. You don't have to say you're not sorry. Just say what you mean and be done with it. None of this "sorry not sorry" shenanigans. The "S" word is such a bad word. Don't be sorry. Just say SHIT. People feel the constant need to apologize for the most mundane things. "Sorry I took so long." "Sorry I did...
