Action beats Procrastination

I joined a challenge because I want to write, but just keep delaying it. I finally admitted that my internal deadlines weren’t working and that some form of external accountability was needed, to actually make me hit that publish button. The old adage ‘feel the fear and do it anyway.’

Perfectionism causes procrastination and a justification for not doing the thing. The more action you take the more you annihilate those ‘reasons’ that you have for waiting, and I believe will create a life-long habit of doing.

Einstein talks about how you must write more books than you read or else you will paralyse yourself, and Einstein was a pretty clever guy. What can we do to make us take that action — how can we force ourselves to hit the publish button or whatever is your version.

In events it amazes me the power of a deadline. Without that stress I don’t know how anything gets anything done. We decided to do our wedding coming straight out of a massive refurb. After a year of constantly fighting to get people on site, suddenly with two weeks to go we had every builder turn up every. We got more done in two weeks than we did in six months.

We talk about stress as a bad thing, probably because in most people’s lives there is too much of it. If you don’t naturally have it coming maybe it is necessary to make sure you have it and sign up to an external source. Wish me luck!
