Description

Are you avoiding a 2-minute task like it’s a major life decision? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Nature of Everything, Bo and Clint dive deep into the sneaky science of avoidance—from unopened emails to that text you still haven’t answered. It’s not laziness; it’s your nervous system trying to protect you. We break down the psychology behind procrastination, explore how small tasks become emotional landmines, and share how to disrupt the pattern without needing to overhaul your life. Relatable, honest, and backed by research, this episode is your permission to shift, not shame.
