Procrastination

01/03/2008 by Susan E Kersley.

You know what you want. You know what you have to do and
yet nothing happens!
You are still going from day to day getting more and more
frustrated with your ’stuck-ness’ and apparent inability to
get moving on the things which are important to you.

Because you are a doctor, a professional who is successful
and in control, to a lesser or greater extent, of your life,
this inability to get projects finished can be unbelievably
frustrating, can’t it?

Why don’t you do what you want to do?

Many doctors like you are perfectionists so there is a
huge subconscious fear that you may not get it right,
and the task you’ve set yourself might fail. Your colleagues
might laugh at your failure and you would feel awful
if that happened, wouldn’t you?

Instead you could try to de-construct what you actually do
when you plan to do something. Look at each part of the process
and then change something. Change the order or the place
and see what happens. Because you will find that when you
change something other things will change too.

Maybe you relate to the character in the short video:
