Description

Who hasn’t put something off? It’s so easy to be frustrated by the things that we find ourselves procrastinating.  We usually start by blaming ourselves or our organizations for overstuffing our calendars.  (We acknowledge that this can be a reality for many of us). Or we get on our own case for being too lazy to get things done. As always, we offer that finding ourselves in patterns of procrastination is an opportunity to be kind to ourselves, and to be curious about what’s going on. This week, Nayla and Eric want to go beneath the common ways we explain procrastination, especially when we talk about wanting something and still not getting to it.   We believe this is less about time management, and more about understanding the competing commitments that results in procrastination actually *doing something for us*. Read that again: NOT doing what you say you want to do is DOING something for you. The ultimate question might be:  How is procrastination serving you? We offer the Immunity to Change framework as a tool to explore the tension between what we say we want, and what we must also want (sometimes under the surface) in order to keep things they are. We talk about the relationship between procrastination and revenge, control, imposter syndrome, the stories we tell ourselves, and our fears of failure. Don’t put it off… you’ll want to dig in to this episode.   Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.   To learn more about us and our work, visit www.insidejobthepodcast.com or email us at info@insidejobthepodcast.com.   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, check out our show notes.   Let’s connect!

We’re Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we’ll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.
