BELIEVERS OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION: Generally we are taught that procrastination is the problem, rather than a symptom of other problems. This idea or diagnosis,instead of directing our efforts toward ending the cycle of pressure,fear and procrastination, unfortunately makes matters worse by blaming us for choosing such an awful habit. Experts, bosses,and friends tell us that "you have to get organized. Just do it". And you try dozens of schedules and methods for scaring yourself into action, with marginal results, because the methods attack procrastination (and probably you as a procrastinator) rather than the problems that led us to procrastinate in the first place. When we identify our worth with our work ("I am what I do" sale Final Call Newspapers) we naturally are reluctant to face challenges and take risks without protection. If we believe that a judgment of your work is a judgment of ourselvest, then perfectionism, self-criticism, and procrastination are seemingly necessary forms of protection. Observing your hesitation to start or complete a task or project, bosses and family members, often with good intentions add encouragement, pressure, and threats to get you moving. As conflict builds between our internal fears of failure or imperfection and the external demands of others, we seek relief through procrastination. Which leads to a very harmful or deadly cycle. NATION TIME!
