From Procrastination to Corruption: What You Choose to Ignore

I Podcast from my shower and you do you! 🚿
Every day a new episode!
------
It’s recap time again.
In this deep dive, we zoom in on three Shower Podcast episodes — 344, 345, and 346 — that accidentally formed a trilogy about one of the strangest patterns in human behavior:

We fight like crazy to get 95% of the way to a goal… and then suddenly the last 5% feels heavier than everything that came before it. And at the very same time, we live in a world full of massive problems we’d rather look away from.

In this episode we explore:
Episode 344 – “The Last Step”
Chip’s personal struggle with finishing his thesis and the final weeks before Day 365 of the podcast. Why the end of a long journey can feel like the deadliest part.

Episode 345 – Completion Anxiety & Action Crisis
What psychology actually says about that wall at the finish line: action crises, completion anxiety, and the arrival fallacy. How shrinking the finish line and changing your self-talk can get you moving again.

Episode 346 – “The Deadliest Weapon”
How a corruption documentary from Romania completely shifted Chip’s view of justice, privilege, and ignorance. Why choosing what you pay attention to might be the most important civic act you make.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer language for your own “last 5%” moments, a toolkit for getting unstuck, and a harder question to sit with:
What are you choosing to know — and what are you choosing to ignore?
