Look, you're a smart individual. A creative individual. A dedicated individual. I'm pretty certain about all of that, or you wouldn't be an ambitious dreamer, or reading this e-book. So, how come you can't resolve a little procrastination issue?

If you're like a lot of people, that question has haunted you for a long time. Among the most frustrating things about procrastination is that it appears like it would be the simplest issue in the world to resolve. Actually, it's among the hardest. Really, that's not quite true. Any issue is difficult to solve, if you're not truly solving it.

I mean it: the only way to resolve an issue is to resolve it. If you attempt to resolve an issue utilizing actions designed to resolve some other issue, or actions designed to resolve no issue at all, but rather to maintain the status quo, then you're bound to bomb. You may try from here to the moon, reining in all the mental capacity, creativity and passion you may muster, and you'll still never resolve the issue.

The Problem

You likely believe the root issue causing your procrastination is laziness, lack of discipline, lack of self-control, immaturity, lack of commitment, or some similar character defect. But guess what? It's probably none of those.

Firstly, most procrastinators are not I repeat, not lazy, undisciplined, etc. As a matter of fact, most tend to be dynamos in areas other than the one they're procrastinating in. Among the peculiar agonies of procrastination is that we're frequently productive in areas of our lives other than the one closest to our heart.

Secondly applying damaging labels like "lazy" or "undisciplined" to yourself is, from a problem-solving standpoint, worse than worthless. Not only do those labels misidentify the issue, they really make the situation worse by sabotaging your self-assurance and predisposing you to failure.

Moreover, people frequently live up or down to the labels; so that if somebody repeatedly calls you, or you repeatedly call yourself, lazy or uncommitted, you're likely to live "down" to that label.

More often than not, solving, or resolving, an issue is a rather trivial exercise when we understand what the problem is. Treating procrastination as a symptom of laziness or a lack of discipline doesn't work, as those are not the causes of procrastination. Instead, they're symptoms, just like procrastination itself is a symptom, of a deeper issue. That issue is commonly either:

You were never taught the habits of productive work. As we live in a vacuum, this likely means you've rather learned the "default" habits of low productivity or non-productivity.

This results in what I call Behavior Based Procrastination.

Or,

Fear of change, success, failure, etc. This results in what I call Dread Based Procrastination. Frequently, individuals suffer from both.

Behavior Based Procrastination is a comparatively easy issue to define and solve.

Dread Based Procrastination is more complex. Unlike Behavior Based Procrastination, which is commonly caused by a lack of data or training, dread Based Procrastination is caused by, as its name implies, concern.

Dread is unfortunately a major force in a lot of people's lives: it's frequently a rational, if not optimal, reaction to the troubles and stresses of life and an ambitious path.
Success Obstacles

Dread Based Procrastination's disguises itself by mimicking productivity. It does this, commonly, by generating one of four characteristic anti-productive behaviors: perfectionism, negativity, hypersensitivity and panic. Most procrastinators are prone to at least one of them, and most are prone to all 4.

Panic deserves a special mention. It's not truly an obstacle in and of itself, but acts as an obstacle "amplifier", blowing your fears out of symmetry and increasing the odds that you'll move back into one of the anti-productive behaviors. The job of defeating dread based procrastination is basically the job of overcoming panic, so that when you experience an instance of dread, doubt or discomfort, you don't become overwhelmed by it and get bumped off your course."

What Holds You Back

There are likewise 2 other categories of obstacles that are not in themselves dread based, but that are frequently present:

The first are Logistic Obstacles, which are commonly caused by simple ignorance. For instance:

Deficiency of a clearly outlined mission and/or path to success

Deficiency of time management

Deficiency of planning, skills, resources and/or facilities

Deficiency of mentors or other support

Put differently, you either don't know what you're supposed to be doing, or lack the skills or resources to do it. A typical individual suffering from a logistic obstacle would be a business owner who doesn't recognize she ought to be spending at least half her time promoting and selling, and thus spends her time on more insignificant jobs.

Basic resolutions to logistic obstacles include: doing mission management and time management, organizing your office, purchasing some new equipment, taking a course, and setting up regular consultations with mentors.

When you commit to overcoming a logistic obstacle, it's frequently not hard to do so. If you do have trouble overcoming yours if you appear to lack the "self-control" to make the resolution work, or can't even find the time to consider the issue then you likely also suffer from dread based procrastination. You'll likely have to deal with the dread first, before you may move on to the more superficial logistical fix.

There are likewise what I call Situation Obstacles, which involve others or additional conditions outside your full control. A hard day job, heavy family responsibilities, and an unsupportive mate are situation obstacles. So are a disability and serious ill health.

Situation obstacles are frequently the hardest to overcome. Their resolutions frequently involve major life changes like changing jobs, leaving relationships, changing life-styles, compromising on one's treasured goals, or committing to person or couple's therapy.

Like logistic obstacles, situation obstacles commonly occur alongside dread based procrastination, and so you'll first have to deal at least partly with your dreads before you may effectively begin changing your situation. But even once you work past the dread, you're still left having to deal with some really hard circumstances.

The most crucial thing you have to know about your obstacles is that all of them may be overpowered. It doesn't matter who you are, how you were raised, what race, religion, nationality or sex you are, or how much cash you have. All of your obstacles may be overpowered.
