Procrastination messes with the mind. It also delays what your life could otherwise be. We don't think of it this way, but the real cost of procrastination is the life you could have lived.
There's nothing more frustrating, nothing that messes more with the head, than knowing what you ought to be doing...and not doing it.
In a way, procrastination is a little bit like a habit - the habit of letting our mind take us into putting things off.
But what is it that causes us to procrastinate?
It's often because we haven't given ourselves sufficiently important reasons for taking action. Think about it, we rarely procrastinate about doing the things we love doing.
Strategy: Stack up more reasons behind why you would really benefit from doing the thing that is causing you grief.
It is our tendency to make things bigger than they really are.
Strategy: Make it very simple, very easy - chop it down into simple steps and then go about achieving each of these steps one by one.
Let's stop procrastinating about photography and its editing!
