Do you ever procrastinate? And does that make you feel horrible sometimes? Yep, same here!
Wouldn’t it be nice to kind of say…”Well you know what, I have a perfectly valid reason here for procrastinatinating and here it is…XYZ…”
Wouldn’t you love it to relieve that whole horrible feeling that comes from not doing what you know you’re supposed to be doing at the time when you’re supposed to be doing it…
I know I love that! In fact, tell you what?
Getting rid of that horrible nagging feeling is such an important step towards getting off your own back…which surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) also motivates you to get up and get stuff done. I don’t want to go into the whole mechanics of why this works (that’s for a later blog post).. But, for now…I can tell you it has to do something with recognizing why you’re procrastinating and acting to fix it!
You see…when most of us procrastinate..we sit down and feel horrible about it but don’t seem to be able to do anything about it! I know it feels horrible and it kills self confidence faster than anything else!
One of the easiest ways to get out of this procrastination — feeling horrible — and feeling trapped cycle is to take a close look at your procrastination habits and try to understand why you procrastinate and where…
Ready?
Get a piece of paper and a pen
Draw out two columns
On one side write down the tasks you’ve procrastinated on recently (or the ones that still bug you)
On the right write down why you think you procrastinated…
You’ll discover some really cool patterns and learn a lot about yourself..I promise!
And, the most important thing is..you’ll be a step (a big step) closer towards breaking free of your procrastination..
Sound good? Let me know if you had an “aha” moment or any other breakthroughs with the exercise!

Great exercise, you will likely notice a patter over time and learn a thing or two. Secondly it feels great to cross items off a list like that.
