My manager and I decided to wait with taking action last week when some unexpected developments took place, affecting our plan of action. We agreed to “sleep on it” before we take action next week. We needed time to regroup and think it through, in order to avoid wasted effort and backtracking further down the road. Great post, thanks! I agree with all the reasons presented.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Tamuria. Quite clearly it was your intuition that told you to hold off sending the emails a bit longer. Congratulations on delaying – just this once.:)

I tried to keep the list updated to ensure I wasn’t harassing people whose kids had outgrown the classes or were no longer interested. The last time I went to do this I kept putting it off – procrastinating like mad and as a result, one of the mums who would have been taken off the list received my latest email and it prompted her to refer me to the company I now work for. This is one of the most fulfilling jobs I’ve had so I’m eternally grateful for that procrastination – maybe intuition was the cause? Otherwise, I’m a great believer in eat that frog. Great post.

I love the idea of justifying procrastination with reasons that are perceived as “good”, Delia. When that happens, it is usually the Inner Critic or our inability to assert ourselves or even resistance that is actually providing the justification. In such a situation, it often helps to do some tapping on the issue to determine the real reason and also to go in for assertiveness training or coaching. Good point!

Having a clear idea about why one is procrastinating and especially with regard to a particular task is helpful, Lisa. Business plans evolve as the business and markets develop. A good idea is to create a business plan with the knowledge avaiable at a given point of time and then use it to review for changes and revise it to reflect the business and the market in which you operate, say after a specific period of 3 or 6 months depending upon how volatile the market is or if there has been a major development which has made certain assumptions or areas of the plan redundant.

I have to respect my creativity and know that it will get done, maybe not as fast as I would like, but it will when the time is right. Great post!

Many times it’s because it’s uncomfortable or it’s perceived as “good” for other reasons: like, being liked by everyone, the impression that you save time, the general feeling that you just don’t like to do it, so maybe it’ll somehow go away.

I love reading about how people realize that they are procrastinating and take proactive steps to deal with the task. When a task finds its way from one task sheet to the next, I do a similar exercise but in the next sheet, I rank by priority and write down a target date by which I have to complete the task. The funny thing about the tasks that we procrastinate over are not ones that we like to do but may actually be very good at doing them. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your tip to get rid of the procrastination bug, Linda.

I am a solopreneur…so there’s no one to do it if I don’t. What I find is that it’s usually ego – so I take it out and deal with it…without the ego.
