On today's episode, we discuss the role of intense workouts ("Going to see God" as Steve calls it): the physical and psychological benefits and how you should use them. Then we answer a listener voicemail about the surprising science of beating procrastination: why you might be framing the problem wrong in your head (hint: it's not about being lazy or having bad time management), tips for getting started when you really feel like you can't, and when it's actually okay to keep pushing things off.

We all have bad days, when we can't get motivated, perform in the way we were hoping to, or adhere to the schedule we had planned. Contrary to popular belief, these are not roadblocks on the path to excellence. In fact, figuring out how to show up on days when you don't feel your best — and not allowing a bad day to spiral and become a bad week — is one of the keys to being a true pro. Today, we talk through physiological and psychological strategies for doing just that.
