Do you know why you procrastinate? Learning the answer to this question may help you put into practice strategies to overcome your procrastination tendencies. Debbie Rosemont with Simply Placed was recently interviewed by Sara Harvey Yao of Yao Consulting on Blog Talk Radio.
Debbie and Sara discussed the various reasons people typically procrastinate. These could include false beliefs (“I work better under pressure”), thrill-seeking behavior (there’s an adrenaline rush that can accompany efforts to get something done at the last minute), task related anxieties (the task is perceived as boring, difficult, or uninteresting), fear of failure (and sometimes fear of success), distraction, depression and perfectionism (the number one reason people procrastinate), among other common reasons.
Debbie and Sara also talked about some sound strategies to help you break the procrastination habit. If you’re interested in overcoming procrastination, click through and listen to the show, but don’t put this off – you’ll be glad you tackled it today, as opposed to later.
