I used to have several bad habits that resulted in my being an unreliable person when it came to deadlines and appointments. I repeatedly underestimated how long it would take to accomplish a task, and overestimated my personal "bandwidth". Even if I set a deadline for myself, I'd always stretch it further. My misguided mantra back then was, "I have plenty of time." I'm proud to say that, for the most part, I've worked hard and improved. I'm usually prompt for appointments these days, and I'm much more aware and deliberate about my commitments and decisions. I do have occasional relapses, but I'm pretty good at catching myself before things get too far out of hand. Sometimes, though, I find myself delaying and postponing a project launch or completion, a meeting, or an action that can have a huge ripple effect. When this happens, I become concerned about falling back into my old habits. I wonder if I am once again resisting my own success, or rejecting potentially beneficial opportunities. I've come to realize that, although occasional deferral can still be a mild form of my old chronic self-sabotage, more often it's a signal that the fruit of my creativity is not yet fully ripe. When I trust my instincts and intuition, and give my ideas and intentions more room to percolate, I usually get better results. Concepts are sharper and more fully realized, structures and flow make more sense, programs fit together more neatly into the big picture. And, sometimes, when I don't beat myself up, and allow delay to be my friend, it helps me reassess the timing on certain critical decisions and actions. Take a step back and look more closely at what you're calling procrastination. Trust your instincts. What's really going on? Do you just need more time to percolate? *************************************************************** Conditions are never just right.
