I’ll admit. I am a bit of a procrastinator. I was speaking with a friend about work ethics, and the idea of procrastination stemming from perfectionism was an issue for someone. And that’s not me. I am nowhere near a perfectionist, partially in the belief that my work is good enough, and partially from the fact that, at some point, it just has to ship.
And yet, I procrastinate…
It’s a common barrier among creatives, hindering progress and growth. We tend to postpone tasks, waiting for the right time or seeking perfection.
Yesterday’s advice was just to start. By starting, we break the cycle of procrastination and establish momentum.
Taking action empowers us to overcome the fears that we may have – either of failure or of success. Fears of being rejected or being elevated. Getting past procrastination and establishing momentum – that’s how to get things done.
