Procrastination

The Procrastination Personality Cluster focuses the habit of delaying difficult tasks, decisions, goofing off when work better be done, and not preparing for the future. Procrastination often mistakenly places inspiration or motivation prior to action. Beliefs are:

*I'lll do it when I feel like it.
*Tomorrow!
*I can't stand rushing.
*I hate difficulty--life should be easy.
*I hate deadlines.
*Pressure bothers me--I resist it.
*Why hurry--I could get rejected or fail?
*This job requires perfection--I can wait.
*I didn't mean to say "yes"--now I don't feel like it.
*I work better at the last moment--I like pressure.
*Too much to do--I'll do it later.
*It's not the right time.
*I need to be inspired.
*I don't feel like it right now.
*Something might stop me--why bother now.
*It's too boring.
*I'll try--maybe tomorrow.
*I'm a procrastinator--that's my nature.
*I can't stand doing some things.
*I hate feeling constrained.
*I hate feeling anxious or pushed.
*No one tells me what to do--I'll slow down.
*If I failed that would be a disaster--I can wait.
*I'm not sure I want to do this.
*Let me think about it.
*I'll do it after I get some other things done.
*Something always stops me--so what's the use?

Clear or integrate the feelings these beliefs stimulate. Immediate action is called for.

Take care, Steve
