123 | How You Can Stop Procrastinating Right Now

We all procrastinate in some way. It effects each of us in… “unique” ways.

The way I have been able to overcome procrastination is through a conscious effort to fight it.

All day err’y day.

I want to shed some light on the reality of procrastination.

The day to day wood shed of fighting against it.

Here’s what I want you to understand…

When you give in to procrastination you are sacrificing your long term pleasure/health/goal for short term pleasure/temporary satisfaction.

Now why would anyone do something like this?

• Fear

  • Fear of failure

    • Fear of what others think
    • Fear of being defined by failures
    • Fear of proving the negative voices in your life to be correct
    • Fear of being not good enough

  • Fear of pain

    • Most likely you associate that thing you are avoiding with pain instead of pleasure. It may be painful but…you know you should do it – that’s why you’re procrastinating. You naturally hate pain. We avoid it at all costs. Even to the extend of sacrificing our long term health for temporary pleasure.

• Perfectionism

  • If I can’t to it perfectly, I shouldn’t do it

• Guilt

  • I don’t deserve to be able to do this
  • I’ll be selfish if I take care of me
  • It’s my responsibility to put other first

• Lack of motivation

  • What is this going to do for me?
  • How can this benefit me?
  • I don’t have enough information
  • I don’t know if I’ll get the return for the investment
