Defeating the "Noonday Devil" w/ Beth McGrane Tran

A Thriving Catholic Podcast

#041 - Do you ever struggle with doing the things you're supposed to be doing WHEN you're supposed to be doing them?
In this episode, we tackle the vice of "acedia" (aka "the noonday devil") which is basically when we don't do things that we're supposed to be doing at any given moment.
How is procrastination similar to acedia?
Beth defines "procrastination" as doing anything other than what you intend to do during a given time.
How do we avoid "shoulding" all over ourselves, while still growing in the virtues of fortitude and prudence that will enable us to take appropriate action?
The "should" is whatever we use our intellect or reason to set our intentions for each moment or time block.
How can we compare our intentions to what we're doing in each moment?
Beth shares the thoughts that will keep you stuck in procrastination--and the strategies you can use to overcome them.
