Reasons for Procrastination

Whatever may be said in the praise, favor or reason for Procrastination, the simple truth is that Procrastination is a dream killer; for the reason, whatever, does not justify its grave effects, little of which is the pain of regret. Procrastination is a failure accelerator like I'd always say. If you want to speed up your rate if failure, then allow Procrastination to becloud you, to control your being.

I'd like to make this impression, where Procrastination may be good or rather its beneficiary. Procrastination is advantageous when it helps us avert some disaster; when decisions are critical and we have little knowledge on our intended course, when the market is not ready for our goods, when you have no concrete "reason why" to embark on a project…

Procrastination can be beneficial if it accomplishes these objectives. But on the contrary, which is in 95% of cases, you do not Procrastination because of the beneficial reason, you do for fear of failure, for difficult tasks, for indecision, for perfection, because you think there is enough time, for the fear of starting, because you do not have enough reason why you should embark on the project, you do not really know what you truly want, you do not consider the consequences of putting off tasks, you're not motivated, your attitude is not right, you're not in the mood, you're afraid something might go wrong, you're not committed to your goal….you can decide to go on and on to give reasons, excuses on why you think you should Procrastinate.

Procrastination leads to a drifted life. A drifted life, you will never desire to live. Let's quickly get some knock-out remedies for those reasons.

• You're not in the mood to get started – then you must be in the mood to do just about anything. Get on it, in a moment, you'll gather enough courage and momentum to enable you pursue that dreaded task

You're a perfectionist – you'd have to understand that first, human nature is imperfect. I actually put off starting a web business two years ago because I wanted to get it right the first time. Now all around the web, I see my ideas littering without a dent of perfection. Folks, they are recking in millions yearly! And I am sited here, watching and waiting till I get it right the first time – who's loosing? I am the fool who's regretting all the way. Now I said to myself, the information you have is enough to get you started on something, just go ahead – you'll discover more as you progress. That's how I got started. It was out of necessity anyway. I was hungry and needed to feed my stomach and there was no supports – so – just get started! Right Now! Please start this minute. I am on my knees for you. I cannot wait for you to launch that million dollar idea for the benefit of mankind, to reconcile with that old friend, to save yourself ten more years if you quit smoking now, to look sexier if you fight obesity now, to check on your tooth with your doctor or whatever.

• Fear – eliminate fear by getting more that needed information about your project, what is the worst that can happen, list them out and prepare for them. You also need to understand that the more you fail, the quicker it is to reach your destination because you learn more ways not to do it. Failure is a success accelerator. Everybody fails, so knock out the fear of failure.
• Difficult tasks – break them down into bits and get them over with. The idea is this – you only delay to compound problems in the future, so why not just do it and avert disaster. Whether you delay or not – you'll still have to do it, so? Why not. Become proactive by doing it early enough.
