On the “procrastination” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer discuss the things that prevent us comedians from taking action, dealing with perfectionism and analysis paralysis, what to do if you don’t feel creative every day, and generally being productive with your mental energy.

In addition, we debate if there’s any reason to pass up on stage time, why open-mics are a place to work on your act and not to entertain other comics, treating your career like it’s a job and not a hobby, the feeling of being overwhelmed with starting something new, and that taking yourself out of your comfort zone is the only way to progress.
