Ep 87: Procrastination Isn’t the Problem — Misaligned Systems Are

Procrastination isn’t a character flaw—and it’s not a lack of motivation.
In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry challenges the way we label ourselves when we feel stuck and offers a deeper, more compassionate reframe.

If you’re capable, experienced, and still finding yourself hesitating, delaying, or overthinking, this conversation is for you. This episode explores why procrastination is often a signal of misalignment, friction, overload, or outdated systems—and how clarity usually follows movement, not the other way around.

This is a grounded, reflective episode for people navigating the middle chapters of life, work, and purpose—where motivation fades, but meaning still matters.

Listen for insight on:

Why motivation is unreliable and systems matter more
How overthinking and perfection quietly create delay
The role of environment, structure, and identity in momentum
Why procrastination is feedback, not failure
