Hi! I am a chronic procrastinator. I am actually procrastinating right now as we speak because I should be getting to sleep but I am putting it off as I do everything. But one good thing is I am getting help for my procrastination. I am reading the book "The Now Habit" by Neil Fiore. It's really good. (I am on chapter 6 out of 9 chapters). It talks about the link btw. procrastination and low self-esteem and how many procrastinators suffer from low-esteem because they are scared to start or finish a project because of fear of criticism from others. Fiore believes that all humans aren't lazy at the core of their being, but instead he believes all humans have a strong will to progress and be productive. But things get in the way of that while growing up such as being criticized by your parents and made to feel like your best isn't good enough. I know from experience that I felt that way growing up and my brother and I are both procrastinators. We are successful at school and work, but we procrastinate all the time. I'm trying to break this horrible habit. It is definitely holding me back in life. Does anybody suffer from procrastination? And if so, could you please share your story, and any tips and advice on what works to overcome it? I'd greatly appreciate it!
God Bless!
