| We all avoid or postpone a more important and difficult task in order to undertake an easier, and often more trivial activity every now and then. Doing this too often, we may create a habit. We may tell ourselves that we are too busy, too tired, too uninspired, too stressed out, too uninformed, too broke, or else. Sometimes those reasons are totally valid, and more often they are simply excuses that we have created to justify the postponement of our important work. |
We hang on believing that we need to be in a specific mood in order to complete our task. We may believe that our motivation will rise in the near future, when we would also be better prepared to complete it. Some may simply over estimate the time left to complete a task, even if they understand the length of time needed for its completion. This delaying with different excuses that we may not even completely believe in, is all a product of our ‘distorted mind process’. We have got no evidence to suggest our thinking will happen, that we will be better prepared in the future moment, that we will do a better job if we wait or if we get more informed. Even though in some cases, this may be true, there are too many occasions where we can prove this wrong.
Have you found out what is stopping you from acting straight towards your goals? Is it possible that fear is keeping you from accomplishing a very important task?
