@drheather805cc: Raise your hand if you're a top notch procrastinator! Mine was raised before I even finished the last sentence! I EXCEL at procrastination, but what I've learned over the years is that my procrastination has roots. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY you're putting off that meeting? That chore? That task? That startup business? The report due in two days? Whatever it is, allow me to throw a challenge your way - explore your own "WHY." Are you burned out? Avoiding stress? Escaping the pain of work involved in coordinating that event or trip? What is it that you're putting off this week? Take a few minutes with pen and paper and ask yourself why you're putting it off. Years ago, I had about 15 annual reports due simultaneously for various clients, and at the time I was new to forensic reporting. I froze. I didn't procrastinate out of a disdain for my job, but at that time I didn't know HOW to compile the report, and my own tendencies are to avoid that which I'm not skilled or trained. It was fear of failure and/or making mistakes that led me down a lengthy road of procrastination. Once I realized my "why" I was able to address it and move forward in production of the very reports that stopped me in my tracks (I'll never tell just how long I put them off!), I was able to rest my own system. Refresh my soul. Breathe. Exhale. It wasn't the completion of the task I'd put off, but the understanding of WHY I'd put it off in the first place that ultimately brought me peace.
