  • Ever find yourself putting off tasks, even when you know it only makes things harder? In this episode of Mind Theory, we tackle The Procrastination Trap—why we delay important work and how to break free from the cycle. Drawing from psychology and neuroscience, we’ll uncover how the brain’s “fight, flight, or freeze” response contributes to procrastination and why it’s more about managing fear than laziness. Learn practical strategies like self-compassion, task breakdown, and emotional management to overcome procrastination and stay productive.
