Should it be overcome? <BR/>I think for me the fear of failure and others knowingly saying that your project wouldnt work. You fear that others fulfilling their predictions about you will be true!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-22606403274078514332007-04-04T16:56:00.000-05:002007-04-04T16:56:00.000-05:00I call it Prograsstination!I call it Prograsstination!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-82793754343219149902007-04-04T12:42:00.000-05:002007-04-04T12:42:00.000-05:00I procrastinate so much that I have a joke about i...I procrastinate so much that I have a joke about it: "I was going to procrastinate today, but I didn't get around to it!" <BR/><BR/>The thing I procrastinate about the most is paying bills! And it's not even ALWAYS because I don't have enough money (although that is often the case). I honestly don't understand why I have such a mental block or such a problem with the bill paying process - maybe I'm resentful. That's the first thing that comes to mind - that I resent the fact that I have to fork over all my hard earned money to others for the things I need/want. Most of it seems like such a rip-off, especially the utilities. I resent the fact (at least I'm assuming it's a fact) that I'm paying more for items than they are worth and that I'm just making somebody really rich even richer. I try to tell myself that "there is enough money in the world to go around" so it's okay, but it still makes me angry. So I think that's why I procrastinate about paying the bills. Plus I just hate the whole process of it. It's probably one of the least favorite activities I can think of to do. <BR/><BR/>The other thing I procrastinate about a lot is calling friends and I have no idea why I do that because it's not something I don't LIKE to do, I just "never get around to it". (Thank God for invention of e-mail and blogs!!)<BR/><BR/>The interesting thing I have noticed about my procrastination is that AFTER I do something I have put off, even paying bills, I usually feel proud of myself, so you would THINK that that feeling in and of itself would be a motivator. <BR/><BR/>I plan on trying the visualization thing next time I find myself procrastinating about something - I will totally visualize doing the whole thing start to finish in my mind and see if that helps me to "just do it".Cindy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737043573500353883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-66861836192249247362007-04-04T11:17:00.000-05:002007-04-04T11:17:00.000-05:00Here's something really interesting...

I'll share some of it tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>For today, I think I'm just going to notice (hopefully without judgment) all the things I am currently procrastinating. Maybe even jot them down so that I'll have something definitive to "work on" tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>I'm really curious to see what you guys have to offer on the subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
