It is unlikely that when you procrastinate you are doing completely nothing.

So you are doing something.

So how can you be procrastinating?

The answer is obvious.

You are procrastinating because you are doing something else, something that is not so urgent or important as the thing you are putting off.

Sometimes we can convince ourselves that this other something is more important.  Or we tell ourselves the important thing is not really so important, or that we will have plenty of time to get it done later when in fact this is not the case. » Continue reading “Procrastination really is…”

Webster’s Dictionary describes procrastination as “to put off doing something that should be done, dawdle, delay.”

Self blame.  It can be so much tougher than blame from any other source. Worry can take over your life if you let it.

Change can be hard to handle.  Even change that you want to happen still takes its emotional toll.

It’s all very well to say “Be open minded”, but it can be much harder to do, especially it you dearly wish things were still the way they were.

But change isn’t going to disappear because we don’t like it. So we have a choice.

We can either embrace the change and find what positives lie within it or we can fight it, complain about it and finally lose the battle anyway.

Ask yourself, which would make you happier?
