Procrastination is a word we know all too well. I even procrastinated a bit before writing this. No one is a stranger to it. It presents itself to us as a familiar friend, but it can be the start of a creative demise.
It creeps up on us and distracts us with enticing endeavours. Sometimes these activities are so mundane we wouldn’t think about them unless we had something more important to do.
How do we stop this? How do we resist the urge to dust shelves and count beans? Procrastination often comes as a subconscious defence. There is something troubling about the task at hand, you avoid it.
It might be a small hiccup or a monumental obstacle, but you avoid it all together because it is the comfortable thing to do. We often do what we are good at because it is our comfort zone. Straying outside of it will leave us open to dangers of criticism, rigorous thinking and labour.
When faced with a problem, the first thing we must do is acknowledge it. Common advice is not clichéd advice. To overcome problems we must break them down into achievable tasks.
