We all know that feeling of “I’ll do it tomorrow” whilst being fully aware that we won’t do it tomorrow, or even the next day.  Why do we do this to ourselves?  Are we just making our lives harder for no reason? 

In this episode as well as meeting our old friends rationalisation and denial we are also welcoming back the repetition compulsion.  And James Bond and Stan Wawrinka get a mention too!  What’s not to enjoy?

Here are the highlights of this episode:

(1.42) Procrastination makes us uncomfortable

(3.06) Rationalisation

(5.38) A false sense of tomorrow

(6.38) Repetition compulsion
