“The principles always work if you work the principles”, Jack Canfield
Perhaps this is too simplistic a statement. I believe this can be applied to DOING instead of just THINKING. (Taking ACTION!)
Once you accept that procrastination is your weakness, the next step is to eliminate this weakness. Your desire not to procrastinate anymore should be sincere. You need to demonstrate that determination through small daily actions.
Mea Culpa-Take Responsibility
You’ve accepted the fact that (a) you’re a procrastinator, and (b) you have a sincere desire to change. Now tell yourself that if you fail to achieve a particular goal or a given task, it’s because you procrastinated.
Mea culpa. Admitting guilt is a giant step.
<–Side Note–>
Wikipedia: “Mea Culpa”: Mea culpa is a Latin phrase that
translates into English as “my fault”, or “my own fault”.
To emphasize the message, the adjective “maxima” may be
inserted, resulting in “mea maxima culpa,” which would
translate as “my most [grievous] fault.”
<–End Side Note–>
There is a huge difference between admitting guilt and being too hard on yourself. Admitting guilt is taking ownership of your actions.
Being too hard on yourself is unjustified self-blame. This can also lead to thinking about “how” this failure happened…continuing the delay – er – uh – more procrastination.
A good approach is the admit to yourself the failure and then continue from where you left off.
Take ACTION!
