Summary
I think we need a drum roll . . . like seriously. đ„đ„đ„đ„ Today on the show we have Jon Acuff. And let me just start by sayingâIâm a HUGE Jon Acuff fan. And todayâs show feels a little bit like a redemption story for me, because the first time I had him on, I didnât fully know who I was talking to (which still makes me laugh/cry a little). Since then, Iâve read the books, listened to his podcast, made my family listen to the podcast⊠and now Iâm all in. So trulyâI cannot wait for you to hear this conversation today. Today weâre diving into his brand new book, Procrastination Proof , which I feel sure is a message so many of us need. We talk about why we procrastinate (and why itâs not just a âyou problemâ), whatâs actually going on underneath it, and how to get unstuck in a way thatâs realistic and doable. He shares a simple frameworkâdream, plan, do, reviewâthat helps take all those ideas and intentions and actually turn them into action. And because itâs us, we also hit some of those classic Jon Acuff momentsâhis âsoundtracks,â a humbling Skittles story about empty rooms and starting small, and a conversation about doing the things nobody else wants to do so you can experience what most people donât. I even share how his work challenged my husband to run 1,000 miles last year⊠and actually do it (and to be clear, the only running I did was my mouth cheering him on and one short jog that required a full recovery plan). Join us todayâand fair warning, you may walk away wanting to do something youâve been putting off⊠in the best possible way.
