In this one, we procrastinate while diving deep into… procrastination. But first, we check in: Hannah’s building a new routine targeting 15 minutes a day on the elliptical, Ashley’s finding more ways to play while juggling creative projects, Alex shares how he’s staying active through recovery, and Nick’s on track with his training goals and coaching support. Then we explore procrastination—what it is, why we do it, and how we can better understand the feelings behind it. From the pressure of packed schedules to the pull of distraction and the pursuit of instant gratification, we unpack the mental mountains that can stall progress. We talk about building systems that work for your bandwidth, refining your routines, and how to gently guide yourself forward—without shame. We end with community questions, what we’d love to hear from you, and our weekly gratitude round: green-thumbed friends, animated masterpieces, family support, and the gift of choice in our lives.
In this episode, we start with life updates from the crew—Hannah’s committing to 15 minutes a day on the elliptical to rebuild routine, Ashley’s balancing new creative interests while staying playful, Alex shares how he’s adapting movement around recovery and setting sights on Hyrox training, and Nick’s staying consistent with his coach and building out a longer-term fitness plan.
Our main conversation centers on procrastination: what it is, how it shows up, and what might be hiding underneath it. We talk about the difference between avoidance and bandwidth, how anxiety fuels delay, and the mental mountain tasks can become before we even begin. From habit stacking to reducing friction, we share tools that have helped us move forward—gently.
We reflect on the role of distraction, instant gratification, and the overwhelming demands of modern life. We explore what it means to live with more intention, to simplify your systems, and to give yourself grace when your to-do list feels bigger than your capacity. We ask: what does workable success look like for you?
