Procrastination, I’ll Talk Myself Out or Into Anything
Posted on | March 16, 2009 | No Comments
We tell ourselves it will get done eventually, some time, maybe later, when? I’ve taken many courses in dealing with stress and procrastination. The course that was missing? The one course I REALLY needed?
How to try or do something, possibly screw it up, forgive myself and move on!
I discovered, that I didn’t always screw up, sometimes the effort was better than if I agonized about it, wanted it perfect, waited for the prefect moment, etc. I’ve done more work, accomplished and created more in that half hour before I had to leave the house for some unrelated appointment.
Yeah! That’s right. I had to just GET IT DONE! But wait, until you need to leave the house, the office or the studio. In those last few minutes, you may even finish a task you thought so large it would never get done.
Another thing. A list works well for some people but for some of us, we begin to AVOID the list or the desk.
I’m meeting some friends for dinner now, but I just wrote the outline for a new presentation. It was something I had put off for too long. Now, it’s done.

Later, I'll do it later.
