Procrastination. That’s a long word isn’t it? You pretty much don’t even want to take the time to say it. right? Did you know, I read somewhere that 90-95 percent of us admit that we procrastinate? Boy oh boy, I know I did. Procrastinate I mean. Although I never wanted to admit it, I sure knew I did it. And I was completely floored when I learned that something like 75 percent of people are habitual procrastinators. That’s 3 out of every 4 people you meet!
Well, I decided that day that I couldn’t afford the effects of procrastination anymore. The wasted time and wasted dreams had to stop. But I didn’t have a clue how to stop procrastinating because I didn’t know why people procrastinate. I wasn’t aware of the connection between depression and procrastination. All I knew was that I needed a cure for laziness, a cure for procrastination. Yep, laziness and procrastination were my new enemies.
I started looking for books on procrastination. Procrastination self help and the like. Anything I could find about how to overcome laziness or how to fight procrastination. Better yet, how to end procrastination. That’s what I needed. But it was tough.
I struggled, I mean really struggled to stay on task and deal with the problem to the end. It was not easy but I eventually found ways to overcome procrastination, and I started this blog to help anyone such as yourself who may be struggling too. I will share with you some of the things that I tried, what worked, and what didn’t. I hope that I can help someone by writing this, and believe me, it wouldn’t have happened if I still procrastinated. I had to figure out how to stop procrastinating.
