Freedom from Procrastination

There have only been a few people I’ve encountered who are blessed enough to be free from this, and even then it’s only been in specific contexts. A former consulting client never procrastinated at work, everything was done as planned or even before, but it turned out at home he was completely different!

Procrastination takes different forms and works in different timeframes according to the situation and context. If it’s not kept under control or eliminated it can be debilitating, undermining any or all the plans we may make. Things which ‘need to be done’ build up and get out of control, but what gives rise to it?

Procrastination can often be triggered by distraction or displacement activities – “I’ll just get a coffee before I do that” – and then there’s ‘something else’ which crops up to put us off our stride, suddenly becoming far more important or urgent than whatever we planned to do.

The source is deeper than these superficial events and people have attempted to deal with it through hypnotherapy and counselling. What is needed though is a more holistic approach.

If procrastination is a problem for you, if you’re not getting things done when you want, start to tackle it right now – don’t leave it until tomorrow!
