The ProcrastiN8r Podcast

Don't give a fuck. Hmm...well you gave a fuck. At least to read this description. Maybe you wanted some awesome words of wisdom. Maybe you just wanted a reason to fuel your hate for me. Maybe, just maybe, you were hoping for free nachos. Whatever the case may be, you gave a fuck. See, even though we say to not give a fuck, fact of the matter is, you have to give a fuck about  something . Time, mon...

Being deliberate. It's about choice. It's about taking your time in your decision-making process and using your own logical discretion to reach a conclusion. It's about Procrastinating with Purpose! The Sloth is Slow, Smooth, and Deliberate (SSD). Every branch he grabs is done with deliberation. Every leaf he eats, on purpose. He doesn't impulsively or swiftly swing around the tree. No, he does it...

Ohhhh yeah, soooo smooth, baby! The Sloth is our spirit animal. He's Slow, Smooth, and Deliberate (SSD), the ultimate ProcrastiN8r! Last week, we talked about the importance of being Slow and taking our time in doing things. Today I want to dive into the second part of SSD: Smooth -- What exactly does it mean to be "smooth" anyway? I mean we hear that word and can instantly picture a guy...

We need to SLOOOOOOW DOWN. We live in such a fast-paced society. Everybody's rushing. Get it done NOW. Buy it NOW. Hurry up! Don't miss this deal! Hurry up! It's a limited time deal. A limited time opportunity. You better act NOW so you don't miss it! And so what if I miss it? What am I  really  missing out on? The feeling of immediate gratification? As if! Ya know, sometimes the most satisfying t...

There's a difference and there's a fine line. Procrastination is purposeful. It's deliberately putting off something "until later". Impulsive Idleness is doing something unproductive without thinking about it, when you had planned to do something else. Look, no matter what, you're going to procrastinate something. I don't care if you're the most productive person on the planet (which if...

That's right, machine head. I'm not saying you ARE a machine. I'm saying your brain is, the thing inside your head. You, you are the operator of the machine. You just gotta press a few buttons and sit on back. The thing's autopilot, dude. You ain't gotta work hard, do hard, or even...think hard. Let your brain do the work for you! That's what we're talking about in this week's blog. Like a machine...

Yawning is an interesting bodily function. ...and thankfully the only one that's actually contagious. But it's also the cue to remain laid back, as a procrastin8r. Yawning can help you stay cool, calm, and collected. No really. Scientists have shown that yawning quite literally cools down the temperature of your brain. So if you know someone hot headed, they probably aren't yawning enough. Anyway,...

ZONK! That's the "Z" in L.A.Z.Y. While no doubt, we're prone to find the nearest couch and zonk out, as procrastin8rs, the definition goes a lot deeper than that. Zonking Out means walking away and meaning it. It's saying "Bye Felicia" to someone that consistently does shit you don't tolerate. It's cutting people out of your life than really don't deserve your time of day. It's...

Be ALOOF! ...That's the "A" in L.A.Z.Y. Now when we talk about being aloof, it doesn't mean being oblivious. And it doesn't mean being cold or distant either. What it means is not caring about trivial shit. Drama, other people's opinions, stress, worries. You remain aloof to it all and just go with the flow. Yes, you're still aware of the implications of a problem. Yes, you're aware of w...

Ya know, we're constantly bombarded with these messages to "be the best" at what you do, to strive for the top, to make an impact. It's as if you don't achieve the greatest or become the most talented, then you aren't even worthy as a person. You're just wasting your time. Your entire goal in whatever sort of hobby should be to get faster, better, stronger...or so we're told. We're so ac...

Start your own business Hol up! Before you close your podcast app I know what you're thinking. "Man, I don't want to work AT ALL. Having a job sucks, but I mean it's not as hard as starting my own business. I mean, damn wtf!" I'll give it to you, at first glance, starting a business is like one of the most intimidating things on the face of the planet. and it seems like a helluva lotta w...

Passion is bullshit. Yeah, I said it. Contrary to popular belief, finding your passion is a waste of time and energy, I mean do you know what it's like to actually be passionate about something? Are you aware of the level of enthusiasm and devotion you need towards something in order to consider yourself "passionate" about it? It's a lot. And I mean A LOT. Yet we're always told to "...

Ah, I love the Lazy River. Sit on back, relax...and get SPLASHED by a freaking waterfall. (I know it's fall and we should be getting ready for pumpkin spice and bundling up in hoodies, but the weather is always warm on Lazy Island) Anyway, sometimes life hits you with unpredictable situations, but it's all just part of the ride man. Lay on back down and stay calm. Go with the flow. Going with the...

No one likes the belligerent boss, micro-managing every single goddamn task. No one likes the guy (or gal) who demands their way no matter what. Do they hold a position of power? Sure. Are they by all means "successful"? Why not. But what they're missing is...likeability. A person who demands certain rules to be followed (which s/he may or may not follow themselves), sets rigid plans wit...

With great laziness, comes great ability to provide a life of luxury and leisure for all. Unfortunately, the laziest people on the planet (aka billionaires) use their Super Powered Laziness for Evil. They get other people to do the work for them, while they sit in their fancy schmancy yachts. They're not out there working 40+ hours a week in the factory. No, they're chillin' on the beach sippin' c...

SLOTHULK CRASH!!! If you find yourself as a natural procrastinator. In other words, if you find yourself naturally wanting to play video games or watch TV instead of doing what you’re supposed to do. If you'd naturally feel like you'd rather sleep in all day instead of go into work or class, ...then I have good news for you! You have the potential to be a super hero. That’s right. You’re basically...

This episode focuses more about how to be socially aware on a personal level with the people you know or meet. There is a lot less focus on the current events and more on "awareness" as a skill. It's an important skill to master and can help you feel a lot less awkward or anxious. On the grand scale, knowing how to be "socially aware" can help people build dialogue instead of c...

The Police need to like, take it easy, man. There are a countless number of shootings, chokings, and beatings of unarmed innocent people, especially those who are black. The level of police brutality is nothing new. It's nothing that hasn't been said or talked about before. It's nothing that hasn't been protested in the past, peacefully at that. Yet, George Floyd and his case is significant. it ma...

Are you aware of your own feelings? Are you though? Really? Because raise your hand if you ever made a mistake. Yup, you raised your hand, at least you imagined it. I know you're too lazy to raise any body part or do anything close to exercise. Anyhoot! Ya know, sometimes we get so caught up in the heat of the moment that we're not even aware of what we're thinking or feeling, or more importantly...

Continuing our discussion last week... How do you deal with a roommate or living partner without strangling each other, especially during quarantine? We've got some lazy tips on handling the inevitable tension that arises from being stuck with a person in the same building all day, every day. Listen to Part 1:  https://pinecast.com/listen/f879d189-a7a4-45f3-8f49-e1786e6cf8f6.mp3 Read the full blog...

Sick of the person you're isolated with? Whether it's a family member, partner, or roommate, you're inevitably going to get on each other's nerves during this whole virus thing. It's going to happen. I mean, you're trapped inside the same building. Together. For an undetermined amount of time. Ugh. There's no avoiding the Tension that's going to arise. But don't worry! It's not so much about negat...

Loneliness is just a feeling. Just because you are alone does NOT mean you need to feel lonely. Minus a few Zoom calls and rounds of Call of Duty with some buddies (and all the social things you can do while social distancing we covered last week), most of the time spent in quarantine is spent alone. Being alone in this Coronapocalypse may be inevitable, but getting anxious over "aloneness&qu...

You're feeling a bit lonely, huh? All this cabin fever, making us feel all stooped up, missing our friends, family, lover. And maybe you're not usually one to hang with the party crowd, out there clubbing n' shit, but before this whole quarantine thing, you did have company at least once in a while. And you enjoyed it. Maybe they'd come over your place and sit on the couch with you, or maybe you'd...

s a lock down taking away our freedom? Many people believe that. To the point that they're picketing protests with signs that say such things as: "Sacrifice the weak. Give us Freedom." Either these people are just bored or lack the freedom in their own mind to realize the options that are available before them. It assumes we're being told exactly what to do with our time. We're not. We'r...

No matter how Lazy you are, being forced by law to stay indoors all day can get quite boring. Let's be honest, you'd probably spend your night playing Final Fantasy VII Remake or binge-watching a Netflix series anyway, but somehow now that you're being told to do it, you kind of..miss having a job. Quite ironic. Usually going to work is the last thing you ever want to even think about. But here in...
