Procrastination, oh what an appropriate topic for someone who has not contributed to her blog in quite some time! We have all heard the term procrastination and many of us are masters at practicing it.
Recently while working with a client who has been in the field of social work for around 10 years we came across an interesting bit of reading on procrastination. I thought I would share some of the terms that are associated with this mindset. I really feel like a lot of this kind of thinking is what makes some of you discouraged during the organizing process. We are always the hardest on ourselves!
Hopelessness-An activity seems pointless because you are depressed and frozen in the present moment. You forget entirely that you have ever felt better and don't think you could feel positive again.
Helplessness-you can't do anything to make yourself feel better because you are convinced your moods are beyond your control.
Overwhelming Yourself-You magnify a task to the degree that it seems impossible to tackle. You assume you have to take on the whole task instead of breaking it into smaller units.
Self-labeling- The more you procrastinate, the more you condemn yourself as inferior. You label yourself as lazy.
Perfectionism-You defeat yourself with unrealistic expectations and super high standards.
Don't let these road blocks prevent you from accomplishing your goals. One step at a time!
