Episode notes
Procrastination, when harnessed as a superpower, can lead to superior work quality under pressure. Those who procrastinate are wired to focus only when needed, like when in a flow state at the last minute. It's a character trait, not a flaw. The key is to understand oneself, structure life, and make calculated decisions. Tactical stress involves forcing oneself to survive by setting deadlines, taking risks, and making uncomfortable decisions. The speaker's successful decisions involved taking risks and betting on business success. Every risk taken had two outcomes: figure it out or be crushed, leaving no room for hesitation or fearing failure. This approach is not for the faint-hearted but for those who believe in their ability to learn and adapt, regardless of prior knowledge or skills.
