Welcome back to Worthscope’s Playing Books, the podcast where we turn powerful reads into lifelong challenge and practical action.

Are you reading this later when you know you should have done it sooner? You’re in the right place. This week, we are joyfully exploring a book that will change your relationship with deadlines forever: ‘Procrastination: Why You Do It, What to Do About It Now’ by psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen.

Forget the guilt and the "I'm just lazy" excuses. We’re unpacking the fascinating psychology behind why we put things off—from the fear of failure to the surprising fear of success. This isn't just a discussion; it's a toolkit. We explore the book's tested strategies to manage time, handle stress, achieve your goals, and even live peacefully with the other procrastinators in your life. It's time to stop letting "tomorrow" steal your success.
