Technically, to procrastinate means to postpnoe doing something. Sometimes it’s a good idea to postpone certain thigns. Usually it’s a good idea to postpone making a snap jugdment about something or somebody. Sometimes you postpone “important things” you need to do, and they miraculously disappear or no longer matter. Procrastination only becomes dysfunctional behavior when it beigns to negatively impact your life…when it keeps you from living the life you desire.So What?Procrastination has many potential sources. Here are a couple of of the more cmomon ones:Perfectionism – the paralyzing need to get it right the first time
Impulsiveness – taking on too many things to do and overloading yourself
Fear of failure – rather be seen as lacking in effort than ability
Perception of task – seems too hard or too boring
Uncertainty – not sure what to doNow What? Realize you are never going to totally stop procrastinating. Look for the three or four aeras of procrastination that are hurting you the most. For example:If you are in sales and you avoid prospecting.
