\u201cEveryone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator,\u201d quoth Dr. Joe Ferrari, a charming, hilarious expert on the subject. The research psychologist, author and DePaul University professor sits down for a truly delightful exploration of why we procrastinate, how prevalent it is, when it becomes harmful, some myths about procrastination, why it\u2019s similar to gambling, how decision-making can feel paralyzing, how to trust your own abilities, and most importantly -- what to do if you\u2019re a chronic procrastinator. Also: how and why you should embrace failure. Oh and a weird ASMR pencil trick.\xa0\n\nDr. Ferrari\u2019s book \u201cStill Procrastinating?
