"I procrastinate" a client told me the other day. "I know it is not good for my life and my career, but I just cannot help it" she said. I see many clients who come with me with some level of procrastination. Students who take years finishing their thesis, GM's who know they should be creating their own retirement plans but who have pushed it off for years, even people who should have declared taxes but have been pushing it for years and years. Where is this level of procrastination coming from? It all stemmed from fear. Often the initial procrastination starts with some anxiety or discomfort, which escalate into dread as the potential consequences loom larger and larger. A vicious spiral of fear, winding slowly upwards until, by the time people seek help, they may be so afraid that they cannot sleep at night! This is perhaps the greatest toll procrastination takes. The loss of happiness and well-being. So, why do people do it? What is procrastination, anyway? It is not the same as delaying a task. We do sometimes delay a task for perfectly good reasons because you cannot do everything at once. Procrastination is a particular kind of delay – it is putting something off even after you know it is time to start........ Procrastination is related to indecisiveness, but it is not exactly the same. Indecision is struggling to make up your mind, while procrastination is when you have made up your mind, but still somehow fail to take action. Procrastination is often defined as "when you delay performing a task up to the point where you start to experience discomfort or bad feelings." This rings true. And yet – paradoxically – we procrastinate out of a vain effort to avoid discomfort. Something feels stressful, painful, or uncomfortable; and so we come up with a reason to do something – anything – else until, eventually, we start to feel discomfort about the avoidance. Procrastination is a complex behaviour, but it has roots in basic emotions like shame, fear, and anger. Overcoming it requires developing the self-awareness to spot which emotions are driving you — and learning to let them go. Working on procrastination is less about managing your time ⏱️ and more about managing your emotions. 😨 😱 😤 😖 😒 😪 A big step is getting clear about which emotions are driving us. So what emotions are driving your procrastination? Write them down and acknowledging what they are, is the first step to overcoming procrastination. Need help and want to see how coaching can help?
