Procrastination is a Brick Wall of the Mind

Everything you could have been, all the accolades you could

have won and all the achievements that have been nagging

 at your mind until now, didn’t happen for one

reason only you procrastinated.”

Nisandeh Neta, Author, Speaker

  

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Procrastination is a brick wall of the mind

 

Procrastination can become of wall on your success journey . . . . blocking you from reaching your gold and objectives.

 

Procrastination is a roadblock of the mind . . . . and can spread to become the killer of a career.

 

Procrastination can manifest itself in many areas of your life to where you put off what has to be done today . . . . to some unspecified time in the future that never comes.

 

You can convince yourself . . . . that you will do it tomorrow but when tomorrow comes . . . . you defer it until tomorrow.

 

The more you drag your feet the heavier the weight of your procrastination becomes . . . . Until the sheer weight of your procrastination suppresses your motivation and forward progress.

 

Think about procrastination as a brick wall of your mind. When you reach that wall your mind tells you that you can’t scale the wall . . . . and that you are better off putting it off . . . . and on trying another day. When the day comes the wall looks so enormous . . . . that you won’t make an effort to climb it or to go around it.

 

Procrastination doesn’t make things easier or better . . . . procrastination makes things worst . . . . a lot worst.

 

Procrastination is a brick wall of the mind . . . . and to successfully scale that wall you have to change your mindset . . . . and your thinking to become solution orientated.  When you hit that brick wall . . . . don’t think about giving in to procrastinating . . . . look for the best solution to resolve the situation.  Take the actions that will remove the brick wall and resume your success journey. 

 

Procrastination is a brick wall of the mind . . . . Knock down the wall of procrastination . . . . and you will clear the path to successfully reach your goals.

It seems like procrastination is the way of the world, haha.  I am usually quite the opposite and try to get things done as quickly as they come up.  I have to admit, that I still procrastinate on some things, but they are usually the less important things.

Hi Lou... what a fascinating way to put it. I'd never quite thought of procrastination that way and now am not likely to either.

When I feel the need to put something off, then I tell myself to just do it. Get it done and get on with the other things I'm more willing and want to do.

Hello Lou

I totally agree with this post, it's strange how us humans are always procrastinating over not doing things that are really no big deal!

Procrastinators, IMO defer their decisions because they're fearful of the consequences. The fear of loss is greater than the fear of gain, so, until you overcome your fear of the unknown, deferring decisions will become a standard operating procedure and consequently failure. I would rather be pushed into a prudent decision and get rewarded rather than not and never attain a reward.
