Procrastination: Out of Fear or because of Laziness?
Which one is it? I think I procrastinate out of fear. The unknown is scary, so it is easier to just exist in the reoccurring day in day out minutiae of life. How would you know what will work if you do not go and attempt it?
I have an on and off-again relationship with writing. Once I start, I do not stop but I do not attempt to publish or complete anything because of this fear. Procrastination for me is a tiny voice in my head saying that you should not do x or y. Why? I live in my head. There is the tiny voice that says I will not be able to.
This year I am going to change that. There are several goals I want to accomplish and years from now when I am old and gray I do not want to say, “why did I not try?” Here’s to change and inevitable growth.
