Comment la peur de l'échec nous amène à procrastiner?

Simon Cousineau panics when he realizes he's been procrastinating instead of rehearsing for tomorrow's show! Simon discovers that famous Ontario writer Margaret Atwood is a professional procrastinator. Psychotherapist Daniel Nadon explains that procrastination is linked to the fear of failure: if you never start something, it becomes impossible to fail. Simon undertakes a social experiment which demonstrates that procrastination is a way of escaping uncomfortable emotions, but ultimately causes feelings of guilt and anxiety. In this episode, we give advice on how to break the vicious circle of procrastination, by focusing on our motivations, aspirations and priorities, and rewarding ourselves only after achieving a goal!
