The ProcrastiN8r Podcast

You're going through some shit. Whatever it is, you may want to whine, bitch, complain, yell, or scream about it. But what does that do to solve the issue anyway? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Pop diddly squat. Worrying about a problem, stressing out about it, or otherwise making a BIG DEAL about it, doesn't actually offer any solution to said problem. All it does is amplify the problem tenfold. It...

We all have stress in our lives. Whether it's a sloppy roommate, a belligerent boss, a noisy neighbor, or even, heck...  a viral pandemic,  there are various factors that cause us stress. But look,  just because you feel stress IN, doesn't mean you need to stress OUT. You don't need to yell, scream, cry, bitch, and moan. You don't need to do that. Despite whatever pain you're feeling right now. Wh...

Opinions. We all have 'em. I'm a dude with an opinion. You're a dude with an opinion. We're all just dudes with opinions, man. (Dude. By the way, that's a gender neutral term. I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes, dude. No doubt opinions are quite a common commodity o come by. And what do we like to do with our opinions? Insist on being right. Insist on proving the other...

You fucked up . in some way or another you made big mistake. That much is inevitable. You're human. It happens. Natural reaction is to want to try and "fix it" But just like a log to a fire, once it's burned, you can't fix that log. It got fucked up. Sucks. But hey, just because the log caught inferno doesn't mean we have to blaze the entire forest in an inferno. In other words, there's...

Forgiveness is the lazy way . Whereas  procrastination is the heart of time management , relaxing is the heart of forgiveness. It’s the ability to move on and not give a fuck about the pain someone caused you or pain you may have even caused yourself. The more you are able to forgive, the more you able to relieve yourself of stress and feel at ease. You may think that it is hard to forgive. ...But...

i MADE OVER $10K IN MY SPARE TIME! It didn't happen overnight. But slowly and surely, I made money doing simple mindless task in my free time. I made money while watching the Walking Dead on Netflix, training Slayer in RuneScape, and looping the killer in Dead by Daylight. I made money doing mTurk. mTurk is a website where you do little micro tasks called HITs for a bit of spare change, maybe fift...

Why does love seem not to last? Man, More than half of marriages end with a divorce. And that's not counting the ones who are separated but haven't signed the paperwork...or the ones who are fundamentally just unhappy for that matter. True love is such a rare thing, statistically speaking. It's odd. I mean...we all  want  love. Why does it seem like something so unattainable then? Perhaps we can l...

Diamond rings, teddy bears, roses. For the price of your paycheck, you too can get someone to love you! Ain't it crazy how corporate driven love has become? The most deepest form of human emotion, the connection that brings us all together, is put on the shelf with a price tag. You know in those commercials they're not selling you the jewelry or teddy bear. They're selling you the fantasy of falli...

We did it, procrastin8rs! We played the rich in their own game. You've probably heard by now about the whole GameStop fiasco. The thumbnail version, in case you're out of the loop, is that a big multi-billion dollar hedge fund company bet GameStop shares were gonna go down. Well, some reddit user picked up on this and encouraged the people of the Interwebs to buy and "HODL" GameStop shar...

Slow n' Steady wins...the wealth! I'm sure your inbox is flooded with people claiming how you can "get rich QUICK!" These crazy bastards are  lying. It's quite rare of a thing to get rich in a short period of time. Anyone that promises you otherwise is full of it. There's no "secret formula" or "underground method" that works. What's more is they'll try to sell you sa...

So you want to be rich, huh ? Well, what does that mean to you? To have lots of money? Well how much is "a lot" exactly? Millions? Billions? Just a couple thousand to cover the bills? Ya know 'cause there's a homeless dude on the street, living under the bridge, pushing around a cart full of dirty clothes and lighters that thinks YOU have a lot money, that thinks you're rich. A Washingto...

The favorite word of a true procrastinator.  Eventually means at some point. And ya know what? That's better than never. It's better to say "I made progress" than "I never even moved at all." Whether you're trying to earn more money, lose a certain amount of weight, or even build a bigger social circle.... You can give up. You can not even start. ....Or you can tell yourself &q...

Things may be tough and you may be tempted to give up, but don't Whatever sort of goal you have, you're probably going to fuck up and make mistakes. You may not hit your target 100% of the time, every time. And that's okay. Giving up may seem like the lazy thing to do. Between working hard versus saying fuck it and calling it a day, it seems obvious what the more lazy choice would be. But...

You might as well not even have a New Year's Resolution. Resolute to lose weight but ya never do. Resolute to pay off your debt but, if anything, you go into deeper debt. Resolute to find true love but you barely even go out on a date yet alone find a serious partner. Every year it's the same damned thing and every year it's the same damned result. Say you're gonna do this really ridiculous HUGE t...

It's time to give presents! More like Present$ with a dollar sign, am I right? There's this corporate greed push to buy the latest and greatest every holiday season. This one, despite the fact that it's the apocalypse, no different. It's believed that that the value of your gift is directly proportional to the price tag on it. But I'm here to tell you folks, that's all bullshit. Truth is, most of...

Home...Like every other day in 2020 We're still in quarantine and there's really no choice BUT to stay at home. Family gatherings and holiday parties are discouraged, in the wake of this social distancing. That may sound disappointing. That may sound sad. But ya know what? As a procrastin8r, I'm filled with JOY! I mean, it's gonna be the laziest Christmas ever...and I'm okay with that. No wrapping...

Ah, Christmas season. The time of year to fill a cup of cheer. But man, you can fill a cup of cheer the other 364 days of the day. What makes one little day in your calendar so damn special anyway? You might say "Well it only comes once a year". What if I told you that each moment comes once a LIFE? See, the holiday is only special because we make it so. We only feel "joy to the wor...

Complaining doesn't do shit! Ya know earlier, Complainign doesn't do shit! Ya know early,  we talked about how Sprezzatura is the Italian word for being lazy and "doing things with little  effort and getting big results " But ya know what takes A LOT of effort and gets little or no results? Complaining. Complaining. It's something we naturally want to do. I mean, I reckon there's abo...

Show yourself some gratitude . What does it mean to be thankful anyway?  Does it mean saying "thank you" to every little thing? Does it mean giving a big kiss n' hug to show your appreciation? Well, no, not quite. Being thankful means being present.  It's as simple as that. See, often times we aren't present and we aren't thankful for how things are  right now . We're thinking about how ...

Sprezzatura is an Italian word meaning "not giving a fuck Okay, that's not exactly the textbook definition, but if you wanna look it up, it's described as a "nonchalance". to the point where it looks like to others that nothing is a big deal to you. In other words,  with Sprezzatura,  you're so laid back about things that nothing worries you or stresses you out. Nothing even rea...

Procrastinating is Prioritizing. Despite all the messages you hear to the contrary: "Procrastinating means you aren't prioritizing anything." "You can't manage your time if you procrastinate." None of that's true. In fact, I'd wager to say procrastination is the heart of true time management. Look... You are ALWAYS procrastinating  something.  Even if you decide to work on what...

YOU'VE BEEN REJECTED! Not by me...but by  someone Your first thought when seeing that line is like "Oh shit! What I do?" That initial panic, man. Gets to ya. We all hate rejection. It's not exactly fun. Whether you ask someone on a date and got turned down, got fired from a job, or even went through a break up, at some point you've come face to face with rejection. It hurts. But ya know...

Practice seems like such a waste of time. I mean, I ain't about to get off the couch if I ain't ever gonna reach the level of perfection I'm expected to reach. Neither are you? Yeah! Tell 'em! But what if we remove perfection from the equation? What if we aim to be just good enough? What if instead of trying not to fuck up at all, we try to fuck up a bit less than last time? Practice doesn't make...

It's Halloween time! The most macabre time of the year. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty damn stoked. I mean, I LOVE horror. To some of you that may sound nuts. It'd be like saying I like falling from extreme heights. WHAT!? But if I explained I like skydiving or riding roller coasters, you'd be like "Oh" Same thing. It's a thrill to watch horror movies or read the books or play th...

Half assed, sure. But hey, ya know what? I recorded the freaking podcast. And that's the point. It got done and it was worth it. As Zig Ziglar puts it " “Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.” You can do a half-assed shitty job at something important, but it's still important and worth doing. Even if you half assed it, it's better than uh...no assing it. Like ya know, brushing your teet...
