Dr Tim Pychyl is as one of the world’s leading experts in procrastination. He has written two books about how and why we procrastinate, as well as many scientific papers. In this episode of Deep Dive I talk to Tim about what exactly procrastination is, how to nudge ourselves into better habits, and spirituality and flow. Tim is such a brilliant and knowledgable researcher and this conversation gave me fascinating look into the the psychology of procrastination.

Ali’s a firm believer that happiness isn’t the result of success - in fact, happiness is the key to success in the first place.

But no amount of hard work was going to combat panic and burnout.
