The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 42 - Petr Ludwig - Stop Procrastination Now
Petr Is a keynote speaker and the best selling author of the book 'The End Of Procrastination', You could say he is an expert in the field - I mean he literally wrote the book about it.
Petr, who is originally from the Czech Republic, but has lived in NYC for the last two years or so - has recently (due to COVID) moved back home. When the time is right, he is looking forward to coming back to NYC.
Petr is a very popular figure in the Czech Republic, a regular feature on talk shows and guest interviews. In addition, Petr also hosts his own podcast, "Deep Talks", in Czech, and has his own company.
Just in line with the name of his podcast, we definitely had some deep talks during our conversation. We both immediately felt very comfortable with one another, which lent itself to a fun, open, honest, and insightful conversation. Petr gave some amazing tips on how to stop procrastinating.
We discussed how the industry is fraught with "fake advice" and people selling you "snake oil" - and how Petr focuses on data to come to the conclusions he shares. We talked about some basic tools to increase productivity to use throughout the day, and how to improve your will power. We also covered how physical activity helps mental stability, and he tells a harrowing story that caused a shift in his perspective. Lastly, we discussed why he has such an affinity for Japan and the Japanese culture.
My Take - Keep it simple. Petr uses data and science to give you the best ways to be more productive in a world that is designed (or currently seems to be designed) to make you less productive.
