For many reasons, I have decided to start writing more. Not that writing has ever been my hobby, quite opposite, when having to write something, procrastination is all I usually manage in that respect for a long time. This time was different. Just the thinking about it got me pretty enthusiastic.
Joseph Bennette, anxiety consultant in Salem, Oregon, published an article in his newsletter on how to deal with self sabotage (republished here with permission):
Getting Out of Your Own Way
For most of us, the biggest problem we have in manifesting what we want is ourselves - we get in our own way. I think I know what I want to do, yet I find myself thwarting my own efforts - self sabotage. What’s more, I find myself judging myself for all that sabotage saying, “It’s my fault. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do to make this work.” blah, blah, blah.
New and better discussion forum was added recently. Put it to your use!
Get the procrastination troubles off your chest. Just share it, it will make you feel better.
And if you have accomplished something today, post too, for an imaginary "pat on the back" from other members.
I will be even happy to create a special "pat on the back" and "get it off your chest" forums!
And if you got some question...- that's what for the board is for!
Just started the procrastination directory.
In case you plan to submit something and are not the owner of submitted website, it will ask for your email address anyway, which you probably don't want to input. So just input anything @procrastinationhelp.com. It's a problem with that script, that I hope will be fixed by authors soon. The email adresses are not used for anything, after all, than to send a notice about approval.
Hope it will grow and grow and grow....
and
first of all
be of value to all the visitors here!
It has been few weeks since I have written anything. So here are at least the news as of what is being cooked in the Procrastination Help kitchen:
I have just cooked up the "Buyers Guide To Procrastination Products and Therapy". If that was a software, it would be called version 0.9 or a beta version, but it is not. Therefore, I would welcome any comments, to make it better, more relevant, more readable, useful and understandable.
While it slightly leans towards the problems of procrastinators, it can also be used as a general guide for the self-help field.
Negative feedback is welcome, but if you have positive one, I can stand it as well :).
Procrastination is about not being persistent. Yet installing any habit requires persistence at start. That's why procrastination is one of the hardest mental problems to fight.
If someone happens to have low self esteem, yet they manage to find a good working method, they will find improvement relatively possible.
If someone procrastinates, and finds a promising technique to improve productivity, they still will procrastinate to implement it.
The first step in overcoming procrastination: choose whichever most promising method that seems good to you, and stick to it. Persist.
