End Procrastination Now - Book

I've been procrastinating on reading End Procrastination Now!!! Ugh... It is not a book I would recommend. Not all that readable, and very full of psycho-babble... Every once in a while I get a glimmer of something useful, but on the whole... leave it on the shelf! The premise was good... that we procrastinate because of what we think, what we feel and what we do (or don't do). But beyond that, he took it in a direction that didn't work for me... although it might work for others.

But now, it's done... which is good... And I am clear that one of the main reasons I procrastinate is because I see the job or thing as being uncomfortable for me. It calls me to stretch in some area... where I'm not really sure I want to stretch or can stretch!!

The other thing I've noticed is that I'll put something on my to-do list... let's say, promoting my book by mailing it out to various places. I put that down "promote book", and what I see in there is the things that are going to stretch me... and I get stuck right there. What I've been doing though, is breaking the task up into little pieces... tiny little pieces and those things, I can do... Like put ISBN numbers in the books. Like looking up addresses of place. Like buying padded enveloped. Like designing a promotion cover letter. Like putting books in envelopes. Like putting letters in envelopes. Like taking it all to the post office. And before you know it... it's done!

All it takes is one little movement in the right direction... and then another little movement... and before you know it... the mountain is climbed... one step at a time...
