Procrastination

Procrastination would have to be one of my biggest problems in many areas of my life. I am a triple certified procrastinator, in work life, home life, and really any area that is not directly related to eating or sleeping. From Maslow's hierachy I suppose that would make me sitting comfy half way up the pyramid, and looking up at the rest of the pyramid looming above, thinking "oh, yes, I really must do that soon". Very minimal movement in any direction until dire consequences start threatening, and woops, see how fast I really can really move!
Take this blogging business for instance, here I am typing away at the computer whilst I have a significant piece of work I have to do at home today. Start small was my new motto recently, just take one small step at a time, and soon you will find you are well underway. Great advice from self help books. Problem is, I am not a small step kinda gal. It's all or nothing with me, jump right in that pool, or complete disdain at the thought of getting a toe wet. Passionate, is what I would like to call it, but really a full on case of black or white thinking. And that's where the procrastination comes in. It's do it all, right now, climb that mountain, don't stop. Or don't even start. There's the rub.
