While looking for some resources to give my students, I found this awesome sheet on procrastination that has actually been greatly helping *me* to kick my lingering procrastination tendencies. This is good timing, because I’ve just put this new organization system in place that has really been forcing me to notice when I procrastinate. Basically, I have these to do lists that tell me all of the stuff I *could* be doing in a certain situation (say- while I’m sitting in front of my computer, or in my home office, or on the bus) and I’m noticing that, often, that ‘could be doing’ is just not always translating into ‘actually doing’.
I
particularly like the sheet’s list of fears that could be preventing me
from moving forward. I just run down the list when I notice I’m
procrastinating and say “Yes- right now it is “Fear of boredom” that is
stopping me from updating the website. The solution, according to the
sheet- “Change your belief that you must enjoy every aspect of your chosen
path.” Aye, aye cap’n. Website ho!
