Whether it is putting off doing the laundry, paying your bills, or getting your shopping done, we all procrastinate. As students, the urge to procrastinate is even stronger when you're surrounded by opportunities to have fun. But procrastination has been found to lead to poorer academic performance, higher levels of stress and anxiety, and academic burnout. Lee, Othman, & Ramlee (2025) were interested in determining if there were other treatment modalities besides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that might help avoid procrastination.
In his new book, Notes on Being a Man, Galloway states bluntly: "There's no such thing as 'toxic masculinity...there's cruelty, criminality, bullying, predation, and abuse of power. If you're guilty of any of these things, or conflate being a man with coarseness and savagery, you're not masculine; you're anti-masculine." As a man and a therapist who treats mostly men, this resonates with me and what I've heard from my clients.
