Now that we’ve talked about how to leverage your personality to overcome procrastination and how to break through whatever is holding you back, let’s take a look at how procrastination can be valuable to you.

The Perfection of Procrastination: While we might have discovered where you are stuck or blocked, and so unconsciously sabotage yourself by not moving on your tasks, this piece of procrastination may show you that there is a very good reason for not getting it done. Imagine you are connecting with a person to do a project together. You both divide up the work, but for some reason you can’t get yours done. You try and try, and can’t figure out why you keep procrastinating.

Using some of the process above – meaning to tune into the energy of procrastination – is the way to discover the reason. Very often it can be that this project isn’t the right one to work on at this time, and the procrastination is an attempt to say no or get out of something that may not work out so well. Maybe this person has different values than you, or perhaps the work load isn’t equal, or a multitude of other factors that really point to the fact that you need to back out and say no. In this case, the procrastination is doing something for you that you haven’t been able to do yourself.

The point here is to reframe procrastination to something that may be trying to serve you versus viewing it as a character flaw.

There ya go….I’d love your thoughts and what has work for you with procrastinating and getting through it.
