[...] 3. Get Started – Think about it. How many times does the anticipation of your workload actually prevent you from getting started?

It is a myth that things are achieved by hard work, punctuality, organisation, doing, doing, doing. All this doing has left this world in one hell of a mess, and going downhill fast. Maybe if people would spend more time thinking (procrastinating to some) we’d have less people on the road, super highways and the internet. Listening to the voice within is a stronger and more reliable source of information.
I sit at my desk and think, and everyone else around me works. When they get stuck, I give them advice, and at the end of the day, they are grateful that at least somebody around here is thinking. I visulaise customers walking in the door buying our products. I ask the sales people what they would like to achieve and tell them its possible, and will happen.
When they achieve their targets they think I’m a magician. I just use my imagination and create wealth for everybody.
We should differentiate between people who like to think first, create an expectancy of something (an event or outcome) and watch it happen, and those who sit and soil themselves because they are too lazy to go to the toilet. That is procrastination.
To all of you wonderful thinkers out there, think. if you believe that that is procratination, it is.

I am a procrastinator. Admitting this does not fully repair the why but can bring perspective. A 5 step approach is easier than a 12 step program. These steps of breaking the task into smaller pieces, STARTING a project opposed to avoiding, seeing the pleasure of completion over the pain of beginning and being aware that dwelling on perfection is wrong can guide me to better resolution of future tasks. Simple solutions to completion of a seemly tortuous task.
