If you are one of the many people struggling with procrastination, it is because you are unconsciously avoiding tasks that are important for you. Crucial actions get put off or forgotten. Despite the best of intentions, you can't move ahead with the projects, plans, or actions that would be helpful for your life to work.

Perhaps you keep putting off an assigned task until the very last minute, and then you pull an all-nighter in order to finish it. You pay the price of stress, lost sleep, and doing a poor job because of the rush to get it finished. Perhaps you perpetually finish assignments or projects late, and you lose the respect of your coworkers, teachers, or boss.

Procrastination can cause serious problems in your work or your studies. It can make it difficult to initiate action to change or advance your life. It can keep you stuck in a quagmire where your life is on hold, leading to hopelessness and depression.

Consciously, you want to get a task done, or at least you know there will be negative consequences if you don't do it, but somehow it doesn't happen. You may just watch yourself fritter away time and wonder, "What on earth is going on here?"

When you procrastination, it is because a part of you doesn't want to do the task because it is afraid of the consequences. These fears are usually unconscious and come from unresolved childhood pain.

It will help you set up a practice for overcoming procrastination and taking action on projects and disciplines needed for your life to flourish.
