Im A Procrastinator!
When was the last time you procrastinated on anything?
Procrastination is a behaviour. But over time, people turn it into an identity and then it doesn’t look like they have a choice. They personify it even. I AM A PROCRASTINATOR! Really…
We then decorate this behaviour like it is who we are. FALSE.
This is not who we are. It is a behaviour that can be changed. I used to hate getting up early. I created excuses for alibis but I knew I had to break the pattern. Now I'm a lot more productive.
So what are the long term benefits of breaking this habit? What do you procrastinate?
Be UNSTOPPABLE :))

Yes Chuka, it is so easy for me to say "Oh, it's just the way I am, I can't help it". But I will try doing what gloria8 says, make small goals so that through the day I can feel UNSTOPPABLE. Thank you so much for this post, you may have just totally changed my life, and myself. WOW, how powerful are you?
Amazing insight Steph. In my line of work, I hear it everyday: I can't help it - it's the way I am... NOT TRUE!
We are all unstoppable; a little at a time is all that's needed. I raise my glass to your power.
Guilty!.. The problem with me is, I work great under pressure, but the stress is overwhelming sometimes. So if I can start achieving small goals little by little, I will be more productive and less stressed.
I will definitely will work on this......
Thanks for the post...

You hit the nail on the head Gloria. When goals are too huge, the brain can't handle it and goes off on a search for excuses or perceived obstacles to stop them happening.
Break them in to smaller goals as you said, productivity is up and so is motivation. Many thanks for your valuable insight :)
i know i'm a procrastinator and have been trying so hard to change. Just by changing your mindset in a few little things can help tremoundously! Great post!
I'm guilty! My husband tells me I leave everything to the last minute. It's really tough for me to change this behaviour, but I will give it a shot. Thanks for your inspiring words.

Hi Rose, we all are at one point or another. But once we decide to break the habit, it's liberating :)
Ithink many of us find reasons to put the important things in life off, but a change in thought pattern can break the chain.
