4. Try to put aside negative beliefs
One root cause of procrastination is negative beliefs about ourselves and our abilities. "I can't do that." "I tried once and I couldn't do it." If you have no belief in your ability to achieve a particular task, it's no wonder you procrastinate.
In some cases you might be right...a particular job might be outside your area of expertise. And that's fine. Where you need to address these negative beliefs is when you find yourself feeling frozen in
face of tasks that you really could achieve. Be aware of difference. Question yourself.
5. Put aside fear of failure
This is related to two points above. And it's all a matter of attitude. For some, a single failure in their professional lives drags them down and they feel like its impossible ever to succeed again. For others, typically most successful of all entrepreneurs, individual failures are signs that they are breaking new ground. Sometimes things work out well, and sometimes they don't. This latter group views failure as something positive - a learning experience.
>> Finally, consider programs to help you with procrastination
For some of us, procrastination and patchy work performance is something we live with, work with and are constantly aware of it. And it gets in way of success we should achieve.
If this sounds like you, you might want to consider taking some kind of more deliberate and positive action to address problem.
The answer for me lay in a hypnosis program. I was skeptical and surprised, but finally delighted by outcome. For you? You need to explore options and possibilities that feel right for you and your own circumstances.
