We procrastinate not because we feel miserable to do things but because our imaginative self fabricates that we would suffer should we do them.
We procrastinate not because we are bad at doing them but because we think we are better at doing others.
We procrastinate not because we are lazy but because we think we’d be better off doing nothing.
We procrastinate not because we are perfectionists but because we are uncomfortable with messy starts.
We procrastinate not because we have no plans but because we have too many goals.
We procrastinate not because we lack motivation but because we lack consistency.
We procrastinate not because we do not know how to do it but because we don’t see why we must do it.
We procrastinate not because we have no reasons to do it but because we have too many reasons while we need one only.
We procrastinate not because we care too much about the potential consequences of our actions but because we worry too much about missing opportunities.
It is impossible to avoid procrastination because we always desire something we don’t own. No pain, no gain. If we want something, we must suppress our desires for other things. Then we suffer and stall ourselves.
We have no magic remedies to cure procrastination. All we can do and must do is start doing it until completion.
