ATG 294 | The Muskrat Incident: Why Simple Beats Complicated Every Time
Podcast: All It Takes Is A GoalPublished On: Mon Aug 10 2026
Description: My favorite one star review calls my books too simple. Guilty as charged, and I did that on purpose. But I wasn't always this way. In this episode I tell you about The Muskrat Incident, the true story of how I chose an impossible taxidermy extra credit project over simply studying for biology class. Spoiler alert, it did not go well. We'll talk about why procrastinators love complicating projects (hint, it gives us someone else to blame when things fall apart), how to avoid becoming what I call a chaos monster, and I'll share the simplest planning system you will ever use. It's four words. No spreadsheets required. If you're ready to stop making life harder than it needs to be, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Order Procrastination Proof!Book Jon to speak at your event!Come to Stage & Page!
