How to Beat Procrastination - How Many Procrastinators Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?

Q. How many procrastinators does it take to change a light bulb?

A. Five.

One to check their email, one to go and make a cup of coffee and a snack, one to empty, clean and rearrange their toolbox so they're 100% prepared and ready, one to go on the internet and read at least 10 articles on how to change a light bulb, and one to sit in the dark and complain they never have enough time to do things like change light bulbs... And, guess what, the light bulb doesn't get replaced!

Which one of those five is most like you?

I know I've used each and every one of those techniques to avoid creating. And about a hundred others.

There's one crucial step to beating procrastination that if you don't take, you'll be trapped in these seemingly never ending cycles of procrastination for the rest of your life.

How many minutes of each hour do you waste procrastinating when you could be creating? How many hours each week? How many days in this last year can you write off to various procrastination habits?

It's a scary thought isn't it?

I'm not asking you to count this time up to depress you, but to show you the first step in how to beat procrastination.

The first step is simply to ADMIT you procrastinate.

To say "Yep, this last year I've probably spent at least a week or two purely on doing things to avoid creating what's important to me..." It's not to judge or criticise you, it doesn't make you a bad or weak person. By admitting you procrastinate you instantly take a step towards being stronger, more informed, and far less likely to procrastinate as much any more.

By admitting you procrastinate you're also saying "It's time for change. From this day on I'm ready to drastically reduce the time I spend procrastinating and reclaim this time for creative pursuits that are important to me."

Congratulations, you're on the way to beating procrastination.

Once you've admitted you do procrastinate, the next stage is to look at WHEN and HOW you procrastinate. As soon as you begin to shine a light on those most common habits of procrastination, you'll be in a far more powerful position to eliminate them.

But it all hinges on that first crucial step. Are you ready to admit you procrastinate, and take the first step to overcoming it?
