Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder.
~ Mason Cooley
Procrastination, not an untameable beast, but rather a habit of some specific origin . . . a habit that can be overcome.
Everyone procrastinates . . .
What is it that you will do your best to avoid? Isn't it interesting the amount of energy one can & will expend all in the effort of avoiding - consciously or otherwise . . . The most common causes of procrastination are fear, low self esteem, perfectionism, underestimating the time you have to do something, indecision, distractions and letting the past rule your future.
What to do?
Most important, is your attitude. Kick starting your subconscious into action will give you ideas, as well as working to calm you down, both being extremely important.
Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones neutralize bad feelings, and enable focus on a solution rather than a problem. When we focus on a solution, our subconscious kicks in and helps to find answers. Focusing on the problem, only encourages the good old subconscious to give us more reasons to worry, which then strengthens & supports the procrastination within us thus easing the pain.

When we make supporting choices and move into action, procrastination can be avoided and then and only then can we move along the path towards work and life success.
. . . To Your SUCCESS!
