Hey Folks,

Have you been taking massive actions in moving towards your goal since my last post? If your answer is yes, that’s GREAT! If your answer is no, then you may have met the monster that eats success for supper and it’s name is PROCRASTINATION!

Do you like the cartoon? It depicts a mild form of procrastination but is procrastination nonetheless. In this instance, laziness is the root of procrastination.

So what are the other causes of procrastination? I have personally experience the following at one time or another:-

1) Fear Of Failure - This is very common among, well, everybody. I have never heard of anyone who wished upon themselves to be failures or to fail in everything they do. But being fearful of failing is probably the number one cause that prevents most people from moving forward!

2) Not Painful Enough - This is the most common among employees. Their job pays just well enough but never really enough. The work is just stressful enough but just a hairline below their breakpoint. The system they had to use is just frustrating enough but just barely good enough to still get their job done. Familiar? So why have they not done anything to improve their situation? Well, it was just not painful enough!

3) Striving for Perfection - This is a very common among professionals such as engineers, scientist, etc. Being good enough to meet their goal is never good enough. They need it to be perfect! I call that procrastination as it hinders their progress towards their goal in an efficient manner!

Even today, I have to be mindful that they still exist in my life and I have to stay vigilant against them. I’ll share my secret weapons against my 3 incarnations of procrastination in my next post.

But before I go, I’ll like to ask you:

“Do you procrastinate? If you do, What are the causes of procrastination for you?”

Till the next post on Wednesday (10th July 07), take care and don’t procrastinate!

Love,
James
