fighting procrastination

[duck1]

set myself a modest goal- to sum up 3 articles in a rather large project for school (summing up the 3 articles is a small component of the project).

I have decided not to allow myself to visit this forum or listen to the new episdoe coming up tomorrow until I complete this assignment.

Wish me luck

Good luck. Go for it.

Sometimes it helps me to break the big scary goal into small, obtainable goals, to the point where they are silly-small.

Example:

Yesterday I wanted to make a phone call, but felt anxiety.

A voice (well, not a real voice) told me that if I faced my fear, I would probably die.

I told myself that if I felt in danger of dying I could stop at any time doing the following:

1. Take my phone out of my pocket.
2. Find the piece of paper with the number I wanted to call.
3. Turn on my phone.
4. Dial the area code.

At this point I got excited about the call and just dialed away.

But that voice of anxiety, procrastination, and doom is very real!

But it can be beat.
