Most procrastinators are perfectionists. They are usually highly intelligent and ironically have high expectations of themselves. You must learn to become less perfectionistic and just focus on getting the thing done early, not perfectly and you'll be fine. Always remember the three P's: Perfectionism leads to Procrastination and that leads to Paralysis When we procrastinate due to the fact that we don't think we're ready to do it "right", then it gets late and when it;s late, we become paralyzed and end up doing a much weorse job than if we'd just turned in a half a$$ work product to begin with. We're like this because we're easliy overwhlmed.The cure is to just turn everything else off and sit down with it and take one chunk out of it at a time without letting the entirety of the project intimidate you. Just say I will do this one page at a time or pne prblem at a time and it will get done... One step at a time. Do this NOW! You CAN make yourself turn the computer off now and just do one single item! Just one and the rst will follow!

i am the same way. i think it's part laziness, part insecurity part fear of success and another part just plain laziness.
but once you get in the groove of doing the thing you need to do...then it's hard to stop.

Because you don't think they are that important, and you haven't found a motive strong enough to make you change.
