First Understand it:

Most may just say, "yeah....laziness...", but read this.....


"Procrastination, which at first sounds like a simple behavior, is, in fact, quite complex. It involves emotions, skills, thoughts or attitudes, and factors we are unaware of. Furthermore, the causes and dynamics of putting off an important but unpleasant task vary from person to person and from task to task for the same person," states Dr. Clayton E. Tucker Ladd in Psychological Self-Help.


Ladd divides procrastinators into two main groups: "the tense-afraid types" who are filled with self-doubt, low self-esteem and fears of failure; and "the relaxed, pleasure seeking procrastinators" who are easily distracted by more pleasurable activities than the tasks which seem almost hatefully boring.


Theories on the Causes of Procrastination:


Fear of failure -- Fear of failure can be paralyzing. If you have an anxiety disorder, you may even convince yourself that failing at a small task will result in devastating consequences.

Fear of success -- Success should be a positive situation.

Perfectionism -- A perfectionist often thinks, "Why do something if it can't be done perfectly?" Perfectionism may result in well-done tasks. Unfortunately, it may also lead to an inability to start or finish tasks.

Boredom -- Perhaps you just aren't interested in the task. How do you motivate yourself to do something you dislike?

Anger -- Maybe you're angry at your spouse who happens to want you to mow the lawn, so you put it off. Procrastination can be an unhealthy way of responding to a problem in a relationship.

Lack of skills or information -- You don't start because you can't, and you're afraid to let someone know.

Poor health -- You're tired. You're ill. You have a headache. These are rational reasons for putting a task on hold. However, be sure to make a time to get back to it or designate it to someone else.

Distractions -- Distractions may be mental (you're mourning the loss of a loved one) or environmental (your neighbor is playing loud music) or physical (you're too hungry to concentrate).

There you have it my friend!

Take pride in your work. Realize you can play or relax with MORE enjoyment once the work is done. Also realize that the work is not awful. Physically move yourself to go through the motions before your mind decides to cooperate. Caffeine never hurts. Two things that help me are prayer and Colossians 3:23 along with being somewhat addicted to "a sense of accomplishment." Get up and just do it.

stop thinking! logically the chances of you coming up with something new are statistically unlikely, aside from that, it doesnt matter what you think, because whatever happens will be different, may be better, may be worse, but will be different! just get on and do, no-one likes procrastinators, they waste too much time.
