Overcoming Procrastination - It's All in Your Mind

Author: Susan Roberts

Thinking back a year ago, I probably would have put off writing this, just because of how bad the habit gets. Once you start putting things off, it becomes infinitely easier to keep doing it, and then nothing gets done. If you're tired of procrastinating, there are a few things you need to learn to finally stop it for good.

Plain and simple, it's all in your mind. It might be because you're afraid that it won't get done right, or that you're afraid that it will be hard to do. It might also be because you're too busy thinking about how much better things will be after you get it done to actually go and do it.

The biggest fear is, of course, that it will be hard to do. Thing is, the more you think about it that way, the harder it will seem, because you've built up for it. The less weight that you put on what you need to do, the easier it will seem.

As such, the more that you procrastinate and put something off, the more weight it has, to the point that you want to do absolutely anything other than what you need to do. All of this time has been spent building up to it and the last thing you would want to do is mess up.

That's precisely the wrong way to go about things, but also the way that so many people seem to do it. It's not much of a surprise that it's such a problem, is it?
