Why Do I Always Wait Until the Last Minute? (And What to Actually Do About It)

If you've ever found yourself scrambling to finish something right before the deadline — telling yourself next time will be different — this episode is for you. I'm digging into why your brain is wired to lean on urgency as a motivator, and I want you to walk away feeling understood.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why waiting until the last minute isn't a character flaw or a moral failing — it's actually how many ADHD and neurodivergent brains are wired to function
  • What Parkinson's Law is and how noticing & naming it can help you get started sooner
  • How to create "healthy urgency" through sprints and anchor points so you're not always crunching at the finish line
  • Why "someday goals" are often the hardest to start and what to do when there's no real deadline pushing you
  • Sometimes waiting until the last minute to get started can actually be the best strategy (and how to do it in a way that is supportive!)
