Antidote to Procrastination: "Right Now" isn 't always the answer

Procrastination? With an urge to view porn, do you tell yourself that “later” will be better? ie, “I’ll get more serious about changing my unwanted habit tomorrow. Just one more time today. Just 5 minutes.” Here’s an antidote to procrastination.

Do you tell yourself that “now” is not the right time to go all in on yourself and your goals?

If you suspect that you need help and will need to invest in coaching (or some other resource) for yourself to get where you want to get, and you tell yourself, “Later,” ask yourself, why later?

Here’s the problem: most people leave it at that: “Later.” Just a vague word. And if “later” is what you leave it at, then “later” is always “later” and never comes.

So if now really isn’t your best option, then what is? And when is that? If later, what steps need to be taken to have it become a NOW that is the right time? 

What criteria must be met for it to be the time? If it is a factor you have to wait for, what is that factor? How will you know if that factor had happened?

If there are steps within your control that need to be taken before NOW is the time, what are those steps? When will you take them?

If you truly see LATER as your better option, do it intentionally. Do it in a way that is crystal clear with yourself. 

Don’t leave your LATER as a vague idea always in the future.

For some, when they go through these questions, they realize that NOW really might be their best option. They were just distracting themselves with a vague LATER idea.

For others, they create a crystal clear road map, with steps, that makes it easier to take steps toward your goals, and cut through the procrastination fog. Now you have GPS, so even if it seems foggy ahead, you just take your next step or two forward, and eventually get where you are going.

So much of procrastination is just not deciding a clear next step for yourself. Give your brain something bite-size to latch on to. 

You’ll learn more and gain more through messy, decisive action NOW then you will from studying about the “right” decision and always putting off action for LATER.
