SHOW DESCRIPTION

Have you wondered why we procrastinate? Of course, you do! You have been doing it your entire life! It sounds salty, but it’s the truth. Everyone procrastinates and there’s a part of it that it’s not your fault. It’s just human nature and in reality, we tend to procrastinate simple tasks in our day to day life which leads to a bigger question: where else are you breaking your commitment?

Why do we do it? Is it because of our purpose in life? It sounds insane, but if you think about it it’s really not, right? In today’s episode, Kyle and Rohit explain how every day we have little tasks that we do. We have goals and life tasks that we create for ourselves which we tend to try to achieve, but what if there weren’t any more tasks. What would you do then? Would you have a purpose in life?

One of the idea that we explored was whether procrastination is tied to external or internal commitment. You tend to keep other people commitment, but not yours. If you dream of traveling by yourself to a specific place, but you never do it. You keep procrastinating on finding places to visit or booking a flight, but at the same time if your best friend from high school is having a reunion 5 states away then you would do anything to make that.

So now as time passes by you keep delaying your lifelong dream of traveling to one the seven wonders of the world and next thing you know, it’s 20 years later and you are too old to go enjoy the way you had envisioned. In the end, you lose your lifelong dream, because you procrastinated too long. Not only you procrastinate on your lifelong dreams, you are now also fulfilling other people’s dreams. In today’s world, we are used to working for other people and not on our dreams so the longer we do that, the longer we make other people money and fulfill their dreams.

The only question we should ask ourselves is: why are you making your dreams less important and not getting you SHIT together?
