Procrastination doesn’t always look like laziness; it often wears the mask of perfectionism, fuzzy priorities, or the hope that clarity will arrive tomorrow. We take a hard look at how delay erodes leadership credibility, weakens teams, and blunts the impact we’re called to make as faithful stewards, then map out practical steps to replace hesitation with confident action rooted in Scripture.
We start by naming procrastination for what it is: a voluntary delay with known costs. From there, we connect timeless wisdom—Proverbs’ call to diligence and Paul’s charge to work wholeheartedly—to the real pressures leaders face. You’ll hear why organizations stall, how trust frays when decisions drag, and what history teaches through cases like the Challenger launch, Kodak’s digital pivot, and the Boeing 737 Max grounding. These stories reveal the price of normalized delay and the urgency of building cultures that act with care and conviction.
Next, we move from insight to implementation. Learn how to shift your mindset from perfection to progress, journal your triggers, and set clear, even artificial, deadlines that keep important work from becoming urgent. We break down the Eisenhower Matrix and the Pareto principle, show how 90-minute deep-work blocks and 25-minute focus sprints create momentum, and offer decision frameworks that turn big choices into smaller, doable steps. Accountability takes center stage with practical ways to involve mentors and peers, along with biblical models like Nathan and Jethro that demonstrate healthy challenge. We close by building systems—automations, reviews, and simple dashboards—that make consistency easier than delay.
If you’re ready to trade drift for diligence and align your leadership with purpose, this conversation will give you the tools, language, and confidence to start today. Subscribe, share this episode with a leader who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show. What’s one task you’ll finish before the day ends?

and biblical principles that canbe applied to those specific

(01:22):
That'll be a huge help to us.
We greatly appreciate that.
Now, today I want to give a bigshout out to Red Oak, Texas here
in the United States for havingso many downloads.
Uh, this is the first time thatwe've had people from Red Oak,
Texas download, and we're soexcited to have you guys on
board.
Thank you so much.
Uh, appreciate you being a partof the Christian business
(01:46):
concepts community.
Now, today, um, you know, asChristian business leaders,
recognize the fact that we arecalled uh and we're called to be
stewards, you know, to practicegood stewardship.
We're supposed to be good withour time, with our talents, our
resources.
(02:07):
Uh, we need to try to doeverything that we can to
reflect God's purpose uh ineverything that we do.
Now, one of the things that Ithink a lot of business people
and just people in general,honestly, uh struggle with is
procrastination.
And procrastination is just theact of delaying, you know,
(02:30):
postponing uh doing tasks orgetting certain things done.
It can really hinder you in alot of ways.
It undermines your leadershipand your effectiveness.
It causes a lot of problems withteam trust.
Uh, it gives you problems uhwith um your organization.
It it kind of keeps you fromhaving the impact that you could
(02:53):
really have.
Um, you know, and biblicalprinciples such as those in
Proverbs chapter six, uh, versessix through eight really urges
us to be diligent, you know, tobe diligent like an ant.
You know, Colossians 3.23 talksabout working heartily for the
Lord.
In other words, everything thatwe do, do as if we're doing for
(03:14):
the Lord.
Um and it emphasizes theimportance of taking action in a
very timely fashion.
And so today I want to discusssome actionable strategies, I
think, that can help us toovercome procrastination.
Um, and we can draw on a lot ofpsychological insights and
(03:35):
practical tools and somereal-world applications, I
think, to help us take decisiveand timely action.
You know, sometimes weprocrastinate and then we regret
that, and and and then weprocrastinate and then we regret
that, and then we procrastinateand then we regret that.
(03:58):
And so we we get caught up intothis horrible cycle.
Uh, you know, there are somepeople who are are literally
chronic uh procrastinators.
You know, according to a studythat was done back a few years
ago, you know, 20 to 25 percentof adults in the world today are
(04:18):
chronic procrastinators.
Now, that's a huge number, whichwhich led me to work on this
topic for you.
You know, it just it just meansthat those of you who listen to
this podcast, there's 25% of youthat are dealing with
procrastination.
Uh, and so we want to make surethat we we get into this and
(04:39):
understand it so that we can dobetter.
Uh, you know, we can accomplishmore when we don't
procrastinate.
And all of us have struggledwith procrastination at one time
or another.
I don't think there's anybodythat's not procrastinated
something or you know, tried tonot do something, maybe for
whatever reason.
(05:01):
So we need to understand whatprocrastination is because it's
really a voluntary delay ofreally important tasks.
Uh, and and we even may knowthat that the potential uh for
for having negative consequencesbecause we we delayed, we know
that.
(05:21):
We we recognize it, we acceptthat.
A lot of times it comes fromeither emotional discomfort or
maybe a fear of failure or alack of clarity.
It's not always just laziness.
You know, a lot of people think,well, people who procrastinate,
they're just lazy.
No, that's not it.
There's a lot of reasons.
Uh there's a lot of uh ofpsychological reasons of why
(05:44):
people procrastinate.
And uh, you know, you may noticeit because you may see um you
you delay a lot of important andstrategic decisions.
That's that's that kind of anidea that you can get the idea
and understand that you'reprocrastinating.
Uh maybe you avoid difficultconversations.
That's that's another thing tolook for.
(06:05):
Um maybe you you over umoveremphal over analyze, I
should say, a lot of informationinstead of acting on the
information, you just continueto analyze it.
Um, you know, Ecclesiastes 11 4says, He who observes the wind
will not sow, and he who regardsthe clouds will not reap.
(06:29):
Um, you know, so the word of Godis talking here about finding
reasons of why not to dosomething.
And when we procrastinate, wetypically can justify it.
We we typically will justify itin some way.
But it comes from a lot ofreasons.
You know, uh Napoleon Hill, whoI've read uh books by uh in my
(06:52):
early career, uh, he saidprocrastination is the bad habit
of putting off until the dayafter tomorrow what should have
been done the day beforeyesterday.
And so it's important tounderstand and get a hold of
procrastination so that we canbe better leaders.
You know, on January 28th, backback in 1986, you know, most of
(07:14):
you'll remember, if you're oldenough, you'll remember that the
Space Shuttle Challengerexploded about 73 seconds after
it launched.
It killed all seven crewmembers.
Uh it it included a teacher,Krista McCulliffe, uh, who was a
high school teacher that gotchosen to go on this mission.
And uh we were all watching thislive on TV.
(07:37):
And uh so a lot of the engineersat NASA uh had identified some
risk with the shuttle's O-ringuh seals, especially in cold
weather.
And they had known this back inuh as early as 1977.
Now, this is 1986, but theyprocrastinated on redesigning
(07:59):
those O-rings.
And the reason they they theyjustified it was because, oh,
there was budget constraints,there were launch pressures, you
know, we had to hurry up andlaunch, we had to get things
done.
And in the days before theflight, despite overnight
debates and a recommendation todelay due to the forecasted low
(08:22):
temperatures, so they did talkabout it.
Uh, mid-level managers hesitatedto escalate those to uh those
concerns up to the higher ups.
And the delay in implementingthese fixes and then overriding
this this launch, this go-aheaddecision to launch, even though
it was 31 degrees, so it wasbelow freezing, it led to these
(08:47):
O-rings uh failing.
And then, of course, we had thisgreat explosion.
Uh, that's what the RogersCommission uh their
investigation highlighted.
It was it was a uh anormalization of uh of deviance
uh through repeatedpostponements.
That's what their their corecause was that that they came
(09:08):
out with.
Um and then it resulted in a32-month-long grounding of the
whole shuttle program uh becauseof that.
And so, you know, we can seethat there can be some very
serious consequences when weprocrastinate.
Uh, so there's a lot of costwhen we talk about
procrastination.
(09:28):
You know, the first there's aspiritual impact, you know, for
those of us who are born again,because delaying God's work can
hinder the kingdom of God'simpact.
You know, Jesus warned uh aboutthat when we look at the story
of the talents, you know, inMatthew chapter 25, because one
of them just took the talent andjust buried it in the ground.
(09:50):
He did nothing with it.
He didn't do a thing with it.
So, you know, it can have a verynegative impact.
Um, there's organizationallosses, you know, you postpone
decisions, it can lead to a lotof missed opportunities, uh, uh
financial issues, competitivedisadvantages.
There's all kinds of reasons.
And then you have to considerteam morale, you know,
(10:12):
indecision erodes trust.
Um, and uh it can just keep usfrom doing what we need to do.
And then it hurts our our trustand reputation that we have, and
so it damages that, and and itit it can really harm our
credibility as a leader, and itcan damage relationships because
(10:34):
of that as well.
And so we really have to watchthat, you know, and of course
the big one is it can costmoney, you know, when we
procrastinate.
You know, uh Kodak invented uh,you know, we all know about
Kodak.
Kodak was a great company, hadbeen for many, many years.
It was a great film company, andand it was kind of a household
(10:57):
name Kodak was.
I can remember a lot of thecommercials when I was in the
70s with Kodak, even in the 60s,uh I was a young child then.
But you know, Kodak invented thefirst digital camera back in
1975.
But but because of the CEO, KobeChandler, who was there from 75
to 1990, and some of the otherleaders like George Fisher, he
(11:20):
was there from 93 to 2000, thecompany procrastinated on fully
pivoting to digital imaging.
They they were afraid that itwould cannibalize the film
business, uh, and they treatedthe digital as just kind of a
side project rather than a corestrategy.
And uh this delay really alloweda lot of other competitors like
(11:44):
Canon and Sony, they come in andthey began to dominate the
market.
And by 2012, uh Kodak filed forbankruptcy.
Its market value had gone from$31 billion in 1997 to under$200
million in 2012.
So you have to be careful.
(12:04):
It can cost you big time.
Uh, it can also delay yourdestiny, and uh it'll cause you
to miss a lot of opportunities.
So why why do we as leaders, whydo we as people, why do we
procrastinate?
Well, sometimes it it stems frominternal factors and sometimes
it's external factors.
(12:25):
Um there can be a fear offailure, um, or even a fear of
of judgment.
Uh it can be perfectionism, uh,you know, uh seeking uh seeking
seeking a flawless outcome canjust completely paralyze us.
Um you know I've always saidperfection is the enemy of
(12:48):
progress.
If you're we're waiting, ifyou're waiting to to uh have
perfection, uh a lot of timesit'll just stop you dead in your
tracks, you won't do anythingbecause you you know you can't
you don't see it as being ableto be done with perfection.
Uh so uh there's also um uh alack of clarity, maybe you don't
(13:10):
have clear priorities.
Um there's a temptation of of ofcomfort.
In other words, uh we kind ofprioritize short-term comfort uh
over a long-term plan that mayhave some discomfort.
Uh so you know, James 4.17 says,whoever knows the right thing to
(13:32):
do and fails to do it for him,it is sin.
So again, we're this kind ofspeaks to priorities.
And so a lot of times we we wewe just want to be comfortable,
so we we just you knowprocrastinate on things.
And a lot of times it can be alack of confidence.
So we don't believe inourselves, we don't believe in
our abilities, and so we justyou know, we just don't do it.
(13:56):
Uh another is illness.
Sometimes, you you know, duringan illness, you know, we'll
procrastinate to do things.
And then sometimes weself-sabotage ourselves.
You know, there's some peoplewho are so afraid of success
that they stop their self-I'veseen people do this, I've seen
salespeople do this.
They are the worst enemy of themoment of their own selves
(14:17):
because they sabotage their selfto keep themselves from from
reaching a higher level, becausethey're afraid that if they have
that higher level, they'll justbe knocked down to a lower
level.
So they self-uh sabotage theirself uh to keep that from
happening, and it becomes a badcycle.
So let's talk about somebiblical and practical
(14:38):
strategies to over overcomeprocrastination.
Uh first, you there'sself-awareness, there's there's
what I would consider to be amindset shift.
So you've got to begin toidentify the triggers.
What is it that's causing you toprocrastinate?
Is it fear?
Is it comfort?
Uh what is it?
(14:59):
You know, you know, just kind oflook back and look at situations
where you procrastinated and tryto journal some notes and and
and see why you avoided doing itor making decisions or whatever
that task may have been.
So maybe it was a lack ofconfidence.
Uh, but you know, what you needto do is take a look at tools
like the Eisenhower Matrix, andand we'll talk about that in a
(15:22):
middle in a minute, but that'llhelp you clarify priorities.
Um another thing that you can doto help self-awareness is to
kind of relook at the failure.
View your mistakes as a learningopportunity.
So that's a mind shift shift ormindset shift.
You know, you want you want toview those mistakes as learning
(15:43):
opportunities.
Uh you've got to you've got togive yourself some compassion,
you know, avoid self-criticismfor those past uh uh
procrastinations and just startto move forward because uh that
can be a tough mind uh mindsetto shift to or from for some
people.
And and then you need to adopt agrowth mindset.
(16:06):
You you want to embracechallenges as growth
opportunities.
You know, a lot of people don'twant to take, they they'll
procrastinate because it's verychallenging.
But you need to change thatmindset.
You you need to embracechallenges as an opportunity to
grow.
You know, Romans 12, 3 says, Forby the grace, uh by the grace
given to me, I say to everyoneamong you not to think of
(16:29):
himself more highly than heought to think, but to think
with sober judgment, eachaccording to the measure of
faith that God has assigned.
You know, so so you need youneed to understand that you've
got challenges ahead of you anduse them as a growth
opportunity.
Uh the next strategy to use iswhat I call time blocking.
(16:51):
It's kind of a time managementtechnique so that you you kind
of allocate specific times forhigh priorities.
Uh, for example, maybe uhschedule 90-minute blocks for
like strategic planning uh andmake sure that you avoid all the
distractions during that90-minute period.
Uh, you can try what's calledthe 25-minute technique, and
(17:14):
that is you work in very focused25-minute intervals, and then
you take a five-minute break.
And that keeps you from gettingburnt out, but you're really
focused for those 25 minutes.
Uh, the other thing is you cando is set deadlines.
You know, make sure that youcreate these, even artificial
deadlines uh for yourself foropen-ended tasks.
(17:36):
For instance, you you know, youset a 48-hour window to finalize
a proposal.
Uh, you know, you make sure thatin your mind there's an urgency
there.
Um, and so you want to make surethat you do that.
And you can use tools likeTrello.
Trello is a great tool.
Asana, which I'm not realfamiliar with.
(17:57):
Um, there's also GoogleCalendar, which has a lot of
great uh uh um uh things thatyou can do with it.
Uh you can schedule tasks, itgives you some clear deadlines,
you can do some reminders.
So there's a lot of great toolsout there.
Trello, again, I've used Trelloa lot.
Trello's a great program.
T-R-E-L-L-O Trello.
Uh I'd encourage you to take andand and check that out, take a
(18:20):
take a look at it.
Uh another is prioritizing.
You know, we talked about theEisenheim matrix.
So let's talk about theEisenhower matrix.
It's just basically a way tocategorize the task that you
have, and you categorize them byurgency and importance.
So basically, you have fourtypes of tasks.
You have the urgent andimportant.
(18:42):
If it's urgent and you determineif it's urgent and important,
then you need to do thatimmediately.
Uh, then it can be important butnot urgent.
So you got to schedule those.
That, you know, that's kind ofmore of a long-term strategy.
And then there's urgent but notimportant.
Those are the type of things youought to try to delegate.
(19:04):
They're not important, but theyare urgent.
Um, and then there is, you know,it's not urgent and it's not
important.
Those uh uh types of tasks youneed to just totally eliminate.
So that's how the Eisenhower,uh, President Eisenhower came up
with this when he was in themilitary.
Uh, General Eisenhower did, anduh, before he became president.
(19:26):
And so that's how he divided uphis task into those four areas.
And then realize there's thePareto principle, which just
says focus on 20% of the taskthat are going to yield you 80%
of the results.
Uh so for example, you know,maybe you prioritize your client
negotiations over some minor uh,you know, administrative type
(19:49):
work.
And then you need to be moreorganized, no question.
You need to be uh moreorganized.
You know, Mahatma Gandhi saidone time, action expresses
prioritize uh priorities.
Uh so what you're doing isexpressing your priorities in
your mind.
You know, Mark chapter 8, verse36 says, For what does it profit
(20:10):
a man to gain the whole worldand forfeit his soul?
For what can a man give inreturn for his soul?
So, you know, that scripturetalks about priorities and what
is our priority?
You know, priorities will willreveal two things.
Number one, what you believe in,and number two, what's important
to you.
You know, Luke 12, 34 says, forwhere your treasure is, there
(20:32):
will your heart be also.
So it it it your priorities willtell you that.
It'll tell you what you believein and what's important to you.
So uh that's important.
Another strategy is isdecision-making strategies.
Uh you want to set you know somedeadlines.
Uh, you you want to commit tomaking decisions within a set
(20:54):
time frame, either 24 hours forlike minor decisions, give
yourself two or three days ifthey're major decisions.
Uh, but set those deadlines.
Uh start small.
You know, take take reallycomplex decisions and try to
break them down into smallersteps if possible.
You know, for example, insteadof delaying a hiring decision,
(21:15):
just just start by by puttingtogether a short list of maybe
some candidates uh that you candeal with, or, or a list of of
of um uh uh websites or or orrecruiters that you're gonna
use.
You know, Proverbs 18, 15 says,an intelligent heart acquires
knowledge, and the ear of thewise seeks knowledge.
(21:37):
So you you want to be smartabout this, uh, but you you
definitely you definitely wantto make some kind of deadlines
for the decisions that you'remaking.
And then the next thing that youneed to do is you need to have
accountability partners.
Um, you know, begin to have somepeople, share goals with some
very trusted people uh ormentors who, you know, you can
(22:01):
check in with weekly, make surethey understand what you're
trying to do.
You know, you can make somepublic commitments.
You know, one of the things thatI have found is in certain
areas, if I have to do somethingthat's really important and I
know I could be a person thatwould procrastinate uh the uh on
that particular thing, I willannounce to myself or out loud
(22:22):
to other people, maybe my wifeor or or maybe some of my team
members, so that I kind ofcreate this external pressure on
myself.
Hey, I told them I was going todo it.
I need to get to do it, I needto get on it and get it done.
And then you want to track yourprogress in a lot of these
things that you're trying to do.
And you can use tools likeNotion, Monday.com, which I use
(22:45):
to monitor whether you've gotyour task completed and what the
rates are.
It'll tell you what yourpercentage of getting those
things done are.
And it gives you uh an abilityto identify a lot of your
patterns that you have if youare procrastinating.
Um, and then develop a rewardsystem.
You know, celebrate those smallwins.
(23:06):
You get a report done, hey,celebrate that.
Uh, you know, take an extracoffee break, uh, maybe do a
team recognition, uh, justsomething to reward uh yourself
for doing that.
You know, uh Nathan and KingDavid, when I think about them,
the prophet Nathan confrontedKing David about his sin with
Bathsheba.
(23:27):
And he used a parable to makeDavid recognize his wrongdoing,
which led to his repentance.
So there was accountabilitythere with to Nathan, David had.
And then there was Jethro andMoses.
Jethro advised Moses on how tohandle the burden of leadership
(23:47):
more effectively.
And, you know, he wasaccountable uh to uh uh Jethro,
and it helped him to delegate alot of responsibilities uh to
other capable people.
And then you have Elijah andKing Ahab, you know, the prophet
Elijah, you know, challenged uhKing Ahab for abandoning the
(24:09):
worship of the Lord, and he heldhim accountable to God's
standards.
And and so you need to have somepeople around you that will
challenge you in in these thingsthat you tend to be
procrastinating in.
And then next, uh and lastly,you want to make sure you have
systems and processes.
You want to implement somemethodologies.
(24:31):
You know, uh there's lots ofthings that you can do.
You can use frameworks like acombo system to break pot
projects into you know small uhmanageable bytes uh that gives
you some really good, consistentprogress.
You can have some automatedreminders, you can set up alerts
and things like that uh inMicrosoft Teams and even in
(24:53):
Google Calendar, you can dothat.
And then you want to make sureyou do reviews.
You know, after certainprojects, you want to look for
areas where there were delays.
Was it because youprocrastinated or somebody else
procrastinated?
Uh, and then that way you canidentify issues.
You know, when Nehemiah rebuiltthe walls of Jerusalem, he used
systems.
(25:13):
If you read the book ofNehemiah, you'll find that he
had great systems in place toget that wall built, and he did
it in record time.
You know, Solomon did the samething when King Solomon built
the temple.
You know, uh God didn't allowhis dad to do it, but he had uh
Solomon do it.
And Solomon had a lot of systemsin place to get things done, and
(25:36):
he got it done, and it became abeautiful, beautiful structure
and the home that they haddecided they would build for the
Lord.
Um, you know, so I think it'simportant.
You know, I I think about thethe Boeing 737 crashes they had
from 2018-2019.
Uh, you know, they had a LionAir that was flight 610, and
(26:00):
then the Ethiopian Airlinesflight 302, that was in 2019,
and it killed 346 people.
You know, it grounded the Boeing737 Max fleet.
Um, and both of those disasterswere linked to a faulty
maneuvering characteristicsaugmentation system, MCAS is
(26:20):
what it's called, uh, and itcaused uncontrollable nosedives.
So Boeing had known about theproblem, the design flaws.
They had known about thesethings since 2016, but they
procrastinated on the fixes tomeet a lot of their production
deadlines because they weretrying to compete with Airbus.
(26:41):
And the Federal AviationAdministration delayed uh a lot
of what was going on after that.
They delayed their production uhand they demanded stricter
oversight.
Um, you know, but the FAA hadsome issues that they had to
deal with as well because theywere relying completely on
Boeing's self-certification uhdespite despite people who had
(27:06):
come to the forefront, they werewhistleblowers and gave warnings
to the FAA.
So they procrastinated as well.
And after the first crash, youknow, Boeing and the regulators,
they they they grounded theentire fleet.
Um and so they they had to dothat.
So it's important.
It's really, really important.
You know, there's a person bythe name of James Clear.
(27:29):
He's an author and speaker.
He's known for his work onhabits and decision making and
continuous improvement.
And he's got a number one NewYork Times bestseller book, and
it's called Atomic Habits.
Atomic Habits.
I would I would encourage you toget that book and read it.
But he said you don't rise tothe level of your goals, you
(27:49):
fall to the level of yoursystems.
It's so important.
I'm a very system-orientedperson.
I'm big on systems, and uh so Ilook for systems on a regular
basis.
Um let's talk about a few toolsand resources.
We've mentioned a few, but youknow, if you're looking for
something to help you in yourproductivity, look at Trello,
(28:11):
look at Asana, A-S-A-N-A, orNotion uh for task management.
Uh you know, you can you can uhread uh The Purpose Driven Life
by Rick Warren.
Uh that'll help you to kind ofalign your work with your faith.
Um The Now Habit is anothergreat book by Neil by Neil Fiore
(28:34):
uh for progressinationstrategies.
He's got more.
Um and then uh you can look toyour community, you know, join a
Christian business network likeC12 for accountability and
support, and then read that bookI just mentioned, Atomic Habits
by James Clear.
Uh that's a that's a great book.
Great book.
And then if you're looking fortraining, you can enroll in some
(28:56):
maybe some time managementworkshops or leadership coaching

We greatly appreciate that.
Now, today I want to give a bigshout out to Red Oak, Texas here
in the United States for havingso many downloads.
Uh, this is the first time thatwe've had people from Red Oak,
Texas download, and we're soexcited to have you guys on
board.
Thank you so much.
Uh, appreciate you being a partof the Christian business
(01:46):
concepts community.
Now, today, um, you know, asChristian business leaders,
recognize the fact that we arecalled uh and we're called to be
stewards, you know, to practicegood stewardship.
We're supposed to be good withour time, with our talents, our
resources.
(02:07):
Uh, we need to try to doeverything that we can to
reflect God's purpose uh ineverything that we do.
Now, one of the things that Ithink a lot of business people
and just people in general,honestly, uh struggle with is
procrastination.
And procrastination is just theact of delaying, you know,
(02:30):
postponing uh doing tasks orgetting certain things done.
It can really hinder you in alot of ways.
It undermines your leadershipand your effectiveness.
It causes a lot of problems withteam trust.
Uh, it gives you problems uhwith um your organization.
It it kind of keeps you fromhaving the impact that you could
(02:53):
really have.
Um, you know, and biblicalprinciples such as those in
Proverbs chapter six, uh, versessix through eight really urges
us to be diligent, you know, tobe diligent like an ant.
You know, Colossians 3.23 talksabout working heartily for the
Lord.
In other words, everything thatwe do, do as if we're doing for
(03:14):
the Lord.
Um and it emphasizes theimportance of taking action in a
very timely fashion.
And so today I want to discusssome actionable strategies, I
think, that can help us toovercome procrastination.
Um, and we can draw on a lot ofpsychological insights and
(03:35):
practical tools and somereal-world applications, I
think, to help us take decisiveand timely action.
You know, sometimes weprocrastinate and then we regret
that, and and and then weprocrastinate and then we regret
that, and then we procrastinateand then we regret that.
(03:58):
And so we we get caught up intothis horrible cycle.
Uh, you know, there are somepeople who are are literally
chronic uh procrastinators.
You know, according to a studythat was done back a few years
ago, you know, 20 to 25 percentof adults in the world today are
(04:18):
chronic procrastinators.
Now, that's a huge number, whichwhich led me to work on this
topic for you.
You know, it just it just meansthat those of you who listen to
this podcast, there's 25% of youthat are dealing with
procrastination.
Uh, and so we want to make surethat we we get into this and
(04:39):
understand it so that we can dobetter.
Uh, you know, we can accomplishmore when we don't
procrastinate.
And all of us have struggledwith procrastination at one time
or another.
I don't think there's anybodythat's not procrastinated
something or you know, tried tonot do something, maybe for
whatever reason.
(05:01):
So we need to understand whatprocrastination is because it's
really a voluntary delay ofreally important tasks.
Uh, and and we even may knowthat that the potential uh for
for having negative consequencesbecause we we delayed, we know
that.
(05:21):
We we recognize it, we acceptthat.
A lot of times it comes fromeither emotional discomfort or
maybe a fear of failure or alack of clarity.
It's not always just laziness.
You know, a lot of people think,well, people who procrastinate,
they're just lazy.
No, that's not it.
There's a lot of reasons.
Uh there's a lot of uh ofpsychological reasons of why
(05:44):
people procrastinate.
And uh, you know, you may noticeit because you may see um you
you delay a lot of important andstrategic decisions.
That's that's that kind of anidea that you can get the idea
and understand that you'reprocrastinating.
Uh maybe you avoid difficultconversations.
That's that's another thing tolook for.
(06:05):
Um maybe you you over umoveremphal over analyze, I
should say, a lot of informationinstead of acting on the
information, you just continueto analyze it.
Um, you know, Ecclesiastes 11 4says, He who observes the wind
will not sow, and he who regardsthe clouds will not reap.
(06:29):
Um, you know, so the word of Godis talking here about finding
reasons of why not to dosomething.
And when we procrastinate, wetypically can justify it.
We we typically will justify itin some way.
But it comes from a lot ofreasons.
You know, uh Napoleon Hill, whoI've read uh books by uh in my
(06:52):
early career, uh, he saidprocrastination is the bad habit
of putting off until the dayafter tomorrow what should have
been done the day beforeyesterday.
And so it's important tounderstand and get a hold of
procrastination so that we canbe better leaders.
You know, on January 28th, backback in 1986, you know, most of
(07:14):
you'll remember, if you're oldenough, you'll remember that the
Space Shuttle Challengerexploded about 73 seconds after
it launched.
It killed all seven crewmembers.
Uh it it included a teacher,Krista McCulliffe, uh, who was a
high school teacher that gotchosen to go on this mission.
And uh we were all watching thislive on TV.
(07:37):
And uh so a lot of the engineersat NASA uh had identified some
risk with the shuttle's O-ringuh seals, especially in cold
weather.
And they had known this back inuh as early as 1977.
Now, this is 1986, but theyprocrastinated on redesigning
(07:59):
those O-rings.
And the reason they they theyjustified it was because, oh,
there was budget constraints,there were launch pressures, you
know, we had to hurry up andlaunch, we had to get things
done.
And in the days before theflight, despite overnight
debates and a recommendation todelay due to the forecasted low
(08:22):
temperatures, so they did talkabout it.
Uh, mid-level managers hesitatedto escalate those to uh those
concerns up to the higher ups.
And the delay in implementingthese fixes and then overriding
this this launch, this go-aheaddecision to launch, even though
it was 31 degrees, so it wasbelow freezing, it led to these
(08:47):
O-rings uh failing.
And then, of course, we had thisgreat explosion.
Uh, that's what the RogersCommission uh their
investigation highlighted.
It was it was a uh anormalization of uh of deviance
uh through repeatedpostponements.
That's what their their corecause was that that they came
(09:08):
out with.
Um and then it resulted in a32-month-long grounding of the
whole shuttle program uh becauseof that.
And so, you know, we can seethat there can be some very
serious consequences when weprocrastinate.
Uh, so there's a lot of costwhen we talk about
procrastination.
(09:28):
You know, the first there's aspiritual impact, you know, for
those of us who are born again,because delaying God's work can
hinder the kingdom of God'simpact.
You know, Jesus warned uh aboutthat when we look at the story
of the talents, you know, inMatthew chapter 25, because one
of them just took the talent andjust buried it in the ground.
(09:50):
He did nothing with it.
He didn't do a thing with it.
So, you know, it can have a verynegative impact.
Um, there's organizationallosses, you know, you postpone
decisions, it can lead to a lotof missed opportunities, uh, uh
financial issues, competitivedisadvantages.
There's all kinds of reasons.
And then you have to considerteam morale, you know,
(10:12):
indecision erodes trust.
Um, and uh it can just keep usfrom doing what we need to do.
And then it hurts our our trustand reputation that we have, and
so it damages that, and and itit it can really harm our
credibility as a leader, and itcan damage relationships because
(10:34):
of that as well.
And so we really have to watchthat, you know, and of course
the big one is it can costmoney, you know, when we
procrastinate.
You know, uh Kodak invented uh,you know, we all know about
Kodak.
Kodak was a great company, hadbeen for many, many years.
It was a great film company, andand it was kind of a household
(10:57):
name Kodak was.
I can remember a lot of thecommercials when I was in the
70s with Kodak, even in the 60s,uh I was a young child then.
But you know, Kodak invented thefirst digital camera back in
1975.
But but because of the CEO, KobeChandler, who was there from 75
to 1990, and some of the otherleaders like George Fisher, he
(11:20):
was there from 93 to 2000, thecompany procrastinated on fully
pivoting to digital imaging.
They they were afraid that itwould cannibalize the film
business, uh, and they treatedthe digital as just kind of a
side project rather than a corestrategy.
And uh this delay really alloweda lot of other competitors like
(11:44):
Canon and Sony, they come in andthey began to dominate the
market.
And by 2012, uh Kodak filed forbankruptcy.
Its market value had gone from$31 billion in 1997 to under$200
million in 2012.
So you have to be careful.
(12:04):
It can cost you big time.
Uh, it can also delay yourdestiny, and uh it'll cause you
to miss a lot of opportunities.
So why why do we as leaders, whydo we as people, why do we
procrastinate?
Well, sometimes it it stems frominternal factors and sometimes
it's external factors.
(12:25):
Um there can be a fear offailure, um, or even a fear of
of judgment.
Uh it can be perfectionism, uh,you know, uh seeking uh seeking
seeking a flawless outcome canjust completely paralyze us.
Um you know I've always saidperfection is the enemy of
(12:48):
progress.
If you're we're waiting, ifyou're waiting to to uh have
perfection, uh a lot of timesit'll just stop you dead in your
tracks, you won't do anythingbecause you you know you can't
you don't see it as being ableto be done with perfection.
Uh so uh there's also um uh alack of clarity, maybe you don't
(13:10):
have clear priorities.
Um there's a temptation of of ofcomfort.
In other words, uh we kind ofprioritize short-term comfort uh
over a long-term plan that mayhave some discomfort.
Uh so you know, James 4.17 says,whoever knows the right thing to
(13:32):
do and fails to do it for him,it is sin.
So again, we're this kind ofspeaks to priorities.
And so a lot of times we we wewe just want to be comfortable,
so we we just you knowprocrastinate on things.
And a lot of times it can be alack of confidence.
So we don't believe inourselves, we don't believe in
our abilities, and so we justyou know, we just don't do it.
(13:56):
Uh another is illness.
Sometimes, you you know, duringan illness, you know, we'll
procrastinate to do things.
And then sometimes weself-sabotage ourselves.
You know, there's some peoplewho are so afraid of success
that they stop their self-I'veseen people do this, I've seen
salespeople do this.
They are the worst enemy of themoment of their own selves
(14:17):
because they sabotage their selfto keep themselves from from
reaching a higher level, becausethey're afraid that if they have
that higher level, they'll justbe knocked down to a lower
level.
So they self-uh sabotage theirself uh to keep that from
happening, and it becomes a badcycle.
So let's talk about somebiblical and practical
(14:38):
strategies to over overcomeprocrastination.
Uh first, you there'sself-awareness, there's there's
what I would consider to be amindset shift.
So you've got to begin toidentify the triggers.
What is it that's causing you toprocrastinate?
Is it fear?
Is it comfort?
Uh what is it?
(14:59):
You know, you know, just kind oflook back and look at situations
where you procrastinated and tryto journal some notes and and
and see why you avoided doing itor making decisions or whatever
that task may have been.
So maybe it was a lack ofconfidence.
Uh, but you know, what you needto do is take a look at tools
like the Eisenhower Matrix, andand we'll talk about that in a
(15:22):
middle in a minute, but that'llhelp you clarify priorities.
Um another thing that you can doto help self-awareness is to
kind of relook at the failure.
View your mistakes as a learningopportunity.
So that's a mind shift shift ormindset shift.
You know, you want you want toview those mistakes as learning
(15:43):
opportunities.
Uh you've got to you've got togive yourself some compassion,
you know, avoid self-criticismfor those past uh uh
procrastinations and just startto move forward because uh that
can be a tough mind uh mindsetto shift to or from for some
people.
And and then you need to adopt agrowth mindset.
(16:06):
You you want to embracechallenges as growth
opportunities.
You know, a lot of people don'twant to take, they they'll
procrastinate because it's verychallenging.
But you need to change thatmindset.
You you need to embracechallenges as an opportunity to
grow.
You know, Romans 12, 3 says, Forby the grace, uh by the grace
given to me, I say to everyoneamong you not to think of
(16:29):
himself more highly than heought to think, but to think
with sober judgment, eachaccording to the measure of
faith that God has assigned.
You know, so so you need youneed to understand that you've
got challenges ahead of you anduse them as a growth
opportunity.
Uh the next strategy to use iswhat I call time blocking.
(16:51):
It's kind of a time managementtechnique so that you you kind
of allocate specific times forhigh priorities.
Uh, for example, maybe uhschedule 90-minute blocks for
like strategic planning uh andmake sure that you avoid all the
distractions during that90-minute period.
Uh, you can try what's calledthe 25-minute technique, and
(17:14):
that is you work in very focused25-minute intervals, and then
you take a five-minute break.
And that keeps you from gettingburnt out, but you're really
focused for those 25 minutes.
Uh, the other thing is you cando is set deadlines.
You know, make sure that youcreate these, even artificial
deadlines uh for yourself foropen-ended tasks.
(17:36):
For instance, you you know, youset a 48-hour window to finalize
a proposal.
Uh, you know, you make sure thatin your mind there's an urgency
there.
Um, and so you want to make surethat you do that.
And you can use tools likeTrello.
Trello is a great tool.
Asana, which I'm not realfamiliar with.
(17:57):
Um, there's also GoogleCalendar, which has a lot of
great uh uh um uh things thatyou can do with it.
Uh you can schedule tasks, itgives you some clear deadlines,
you can do some reminders.
So there's a lot of great toolsout there.
Trello, again, I've used Trelloa lot.
Trello's a great program.
T-R-E-L-L-O Trello.
Uh I'd encourage you to take andand and check that out, take a
(18:20):
take a look at it.
Uh another is prioritizing.
You know, we talked about theEisenheim matrix.
So let's talk about theEisenhower matrix.
It's just basically a way tocategorize the task that you
have, and you categorize them byurgency and importance.
So basically, you have fourtypes of tasks.
You have the urgent andimportant.
(18:42):
If it's urgent and you determineif it's urgent and important,
then you need to do thatimmediately.
Uh, then it can be important butnot urgent.
So you got to schedule those.
That, you know, that's kind ofmore of a long-term strategy.
And then there's urgent but notimportant.
Those are the type of things youought to try to delegate.
(19:04):
They're not important, but theyare urgent.
Um, and then there is, you know,it's not urgent and it's not
important.
Those uh uh types of tasks youneed to just totally eliminate.
So that's how the Eisenhower,uh, President Eisenhower came up
with this when he was in themilitary.
Uh, General Eisenhower did, anduh, before he became president.
(19:26):
And so that's how he divided uphis task into those four areas.
And then realize there's thePareto principle, which just
says focus on 20% of the taskthat are going to yield you 80%
of the results.
Uh so for example, you know,maybe you prioritize your client
negotiations over some minor uh,you know, administrative type
(19:49):
work.
And then you need to be moreorganized, no question.
You need to be uh moreorganized.
You know, Mahatma Gandhi saidone time, action expresses
prioritize uh priorities.
Uh so what you're doing isexpressing your priorities in
your mind.
You know, Mark chapter 8, verse36 says, For what does it profit
(20:10):
a man to gain the whole worldand forfeit his soul?
For what can a man give inreturn for his soul?
So, you know, that scripturetalks about priorities and what
is our priority?
You know, priorities will willreveal two things.
Number one, what you believe in,and number two, what's important
to you.
You know, Luke 12, 34 says, forwhere your treasure is, there
(20:32):
will your heart be also.
So it it it your priorities willtell you that.
It'll tell you what you believein and what's important to you.
So uh that's important.
Another strategy is isdecision-making strategies.
Uh you want to set you know somedeadlines.
Uh, you you want to commit tomaking decisions within a set
(20:54):
time frame, either 24 hours forlike minor decisions, give
yourself two or three days ifthey're major decisions.
Uh, but set those deadlines.
Uh start small.
You know, take take reallycomplex decisions and try to
break them down into smallersteps if possible.
You know, for example, insteadof delaying a hiring decision,
(21:15):
just just start by by puttingtogether a short list of maybe
some candidates uh that you candeal with, or, or a list of of
of um uh uh websites or or orrecruiters that you're gonna
use.
You know, Proverbs 18, 15 says,an intelligent heart acquires
knowledge, and the ear of thewise seeks knowledge.
(21:37):
So you you want to be smartabout this, uh, but you you
definitely you definitely wantto make some kind of deadlines
for the decisions that you'remaking.
And then the next thing that youneed to do is you need to have
accountability partners.
Um, you know, begin to have somepeople, share goals with some
very trusted people uh ormentors who, you know, you can
(22:01):
check in with weekly, make surethey understand what you're
trying to do.
You know, you can make somepublic commitments.
You know, one of the things thatI have found is in certain
areas, if I have to do somethingthat's really important and I
know I could be a person thatwould procrastinate uh the uh on
that particular thing, I willannounce to myself or out loud
(22:22):
to other people, maybe my wifeor or or maybe some of my team
members, so that I kind ofcreate this external pressure on
myself.
Hey, I told them I was going todo it.
I need to get to do it, I needto get on it and get it done.
And then you want to track yourprogress in a lot of these
things that you're trying to do.
And you can use tools likeNotion, Monday.com, which I use
(22:45):
to monitor whether you've gotyour task completed and what the
rates are.
It'll tell you what yourpercentage of getting those
things done are.
And it gives you uh an abilityto identify a lot of your
patterns that you have if youare procrastinating.
Um, and then develop a rewardsystem.
You know, celebrate those smallwins.
(23:06):
You get a report done, hey,celebrate that.
Uh, you know, take an extracoffee break, uh, maybe do a
team recognition, uh, justsomething to reward uh yourself
for doing that.
You know, uh Nathan and KingDavid, when I think about them,
the prophet Nathan confrontedKing David about his sin with
Bathsheba.
(23:27):
And he used a parable to makeDavid recognize his wrongdoing,
which led to his repentance.
So there was accountabilitythere with to Nathan, David had.
And then there was Jethro andMoses.
Jethro advised Moses on how tohandle the burden of leadership
(23:47):
more effectively.
And, you know, he wasaccountable uh to uh uh Jethro,
and it helped him to delegate alot of responsibilities uh to
other capable people.
And then you have Elijah andKing Ahab, you know, the prophet
Elijah, you know, challenged uhKing Ahab for abandoning the
(24:09):
worship of the Lord, and he heldhim accountable to God's
standards.
And and so you need to have somepeople around you that will
challenge you in in these thingsthat you tend to be
procrastinating in.
And then next, uh and lastly,you want to make sure you have
systems and processes.
You want to implement somemethodologies.
(24:31):
You know, uh there's lots ofthings that you can do.
You can use frameworks like acombo system to break pot
projects into you know small uhmanageable bytes uh that gives
you some really good, consistentprogress.
You can have some automatedreminders, you can set up alerts
and things like that uh inMicrosoft Teams and even in
(24:53):
Google Calendar, you can dothat.
And then you want to make sureyou do reviews.
You know, after certainprojects, you want to look for
areas where there were delays.
Was it because youprocrastinated or somebody else
procrastinated?
Uh, and then that way you canidentify issues.
You know, when Nehemiah rebuiltthe walls of Jerusalem, he used
systems.
(25:13):
If you read the book ofNehemiah, you'll find that he
had great systems in place toget that wall built, and he did
it in record time.
You know, Solomon did the samething when King Solomon built
the temple.
You know, uh God didn't allowhis dad to do it, but he had uh
Solomon do it.
And Solomon had a lot of systemsin place to get things done, and
(25:36):
he got it done, and it became abeautiful, beautiful structure
and the home that they haddecided they would build for the
Lord.
Um, you know, so I think it'simportant.
You know, I I think about thethe Boeing 737 crashes they had
from 2018-2019.
Uh, you know, they had a LionAir that was flight 610, and
(26:00):
then the Ethiopian Airlinesflight 302, that was in 2019,
and it killed 346 people.
You know, it grounded the Boeing737 Max fleet.
Um, and both of those disasterswere linked to a faulty
maneuvering characteristicsaugmentation system, MCAS is
(26:20):
what it's called, uh, and itcaused uncontrollable nosedives.
So Boeing had known about theproblem, the design flaws.
They had known about thesethings since 2016, but they
procrastinated on the fixes tomeet a lot of their production
deadlines because they weretrying to compete with Airbus.
(26:41):
And the Federal AviationAdministration delayed uh a lot
of what was going on after that.
They delayed their production uhand they demanded stricter
oversight.
Um, you know, but the FAA hadsome issues that they had to
deal with as well because theywere relying completely on
Boeing's self-certification uhdespite despite people who had
(27:06):
come to the forefront, they werewhistleblowers and gave warnings
to the FAA.
So they procrastinated as well.
And after the first crash, youknow, Boeing and the regulators,
they they they grounded theentire fleet.
Um and so they they had to dothat.
So it's important.
It's really, really important.
You know, there's a person bythe name of James Clear.
(27:29):
He's an author and speaker.
He's known for his work onhabits and decision making and
continuous improvement.
And he's got a number one NewYork Times bestseller book, and
it's called Atomic Habits.
Atomic Habits.
I would I would encourage you toget that book and read it.
But he said you don't rise tothe level of your goals, you
(27:49):
fall to the level of yoursystems.
It's so important.
I'm a very system-orientedperson.
I'm big on systems, and uh so Ilook for systems on a regular
basis.
Um let's talk about a few toolsand resources.
We've mentioned a few, but youknow, if you're looking for
something to help you in yourproductivity, look at Trello,
(28:11):
look at Asana, A-S-A-N-A, orNotion uh for task management.
Uh you know, you can you can uhread uh The Purpose Driven Life
by Rick Warren.
Uh that'll help you to kind ofalign your work with your faith.
Um The Now Habit is anothergreat book by Neil by Neil Fiore
(28:34):
uh for progressinationstrategies.
He's got more.
Um and then uh you can look toyour community, you know, join a
Christian business network likeC12 for accountability and
support, and then read that bookI just mentioned, Atomic Habits
by James Clear.
