Do you put things off?
Why do you procrastinate?
Fear and anxiety get in the way. Worries about failure are prominent. Sometimes there’s a fear of achievement.
What projects are you putting off? Why are you putting them off? Looking at these aspects may get you moving more than someone telling you to just do it.
Procrastination is so common that we may need to become a little more tolerant of it. We’re all human.
