Not able to leave smoking. What is this? You know the blueprint, you have done it before, but even them, why?
Is there a reason? Have you even tried finding the reason?
Is it only lack of self control?
I stopped for a couple of seconds. Self control. Yes, that’s the exact reason. Self control – not being able to do control yourself. I always say I am a control freak, but how come I cannot control myself in certain situations? Situations which are the most critical ones.
Perfectionism? Can that be one of the reasons? Fear of taking first steps? As I ponder upon the title of this article I can’t help but recollect all the various things I have procrastinated over the years.
Just last day, I knew I had to finish off few admin work, which I had been procrastinating for the last couple of days. Just to finish it on the deadline I had to wake up early. My routine had to change. Which is never a good thing. Routine is what makes us great. Deliberately practising in a fixed routine. That is where we start seeing small incremental improvements.
Another example. I had always liked writing, but I had procrastinated about getting my website back live again for more than 3 months. All the authority with all the content gone. All the SEO vanished. Now that I have my website, it feels so liberating, to have a place which I call as my own, on which I can write whatever my heart desires. Currently the experiment I am doing on AEO/SEO/GEO whatever you call it needs me to be bare bones and just write content.
Once I cross the 100 articles mark I will get help from a designer who can help me with my website design.
I suffer from multitudes of procrastination. Just like anyone of you out there. Through this article, may be I am talking to myself in the future. Could I overcome my ill habit, only the future self will know.
