Killing Procrastination - Start Leading A Life Sans Misery

Is making excuses is your first thing when you lose deadlines?
- Will you reason out your failure, rather than trying to finish the project?
- Was your failure in finishing the job unavoidable?
- Do you think finishing the job is important?
- Is a plan put down to finish a job really soon?

You should start taking responsibility for your failures. If you ever think of giving a excuse again, think about the great American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's saying about predicament procrastinators get in: "It takes less time to do a thing right than explain why you did it wrong."

Are you finding yourself victimized by circumstance and events? Do you excel others in complaining? What you plan to do when you postpone your work? How is your time spent when you postpone a job which should be done? Are you really trying to change? Are the causes for your procrastination hidden which is yet to be discovered?

Procrastinators will find it easy to get a reason not to start. To take charge of life, you should taking responsibility for everything which happens in your project. If you do fail, try a self analysis and check if you could produce a better result by trying something different. This will help you to complete your next project successfully, you will be eager to get started with the project as soon as you can. Try to find out the needs and the perfect starting circumstance will never come.

Asking hard questions is the only way out of procrastination's vicious circle. Circumstances do not victimize us. You can do what is to be done. You should learn to prioritize things, and separate things which should be done immediately and things which can wait. If you thinking to delay a project ask the following questions:

- Is there much benefit in the delay?
- Is the reason justifiable for postponing the job?
- Will I like to live with the consequence of delaying this project?

Get in front of a mirror and question yourself if the reason for your delay is quite justifiable. Scan your reasons for your want to delay this project, with a microscope; think of the possibility if the reasons are just excuses delaying the start of this project. Try to recollect what happened when your last project got delayed which is something similar to this. What are the possible benefits expected to come from this delay? Note down them. Now question your self how the project is coming up. Does the project get any kind of benefits from this delay?

Is it just excuses or is it actually a justifiable reason? What could have possibly happened if you moved on with the project without a delay? Always keep in mind the saying of Napoleon Hill on waiting: "Do not wait. The time will never be just right."
