For me that would be procrastination. I am 100% guilty of procrastination. I can give you a million reasons depending on what I am procrastinating; however, the truth is I am just not doing it because I am either lazy or do not want to. I will say 95% of the time, what I am procrastinating still gets accomplished and done well for the most part but along with that is the stress, frustration, and constantly asking myself “what did I not do” and mad at myself for waiting last minute. I have already been working on this, when I think of doing something I will get up and get it done before I have a chance to think about why doing it later will be fine but still I have moments where I go back to old habits and have to keep resetting and reminding myself to stop.
I don’t think it’s lazy. It’s actually habitual. It’s the mind telling us, “hey you had a long day take it easy.” a lot of the behaviors we perform or actually hidden, had to have formed over time. But we just don’t see it so. There is a lot of data and scientific experiments to support
This. Steven Pressfield, author of the war of art says, “ it’s not that we won’t write the book, we just say I’ll do it later or tomorrow.” I’ve been studying the work philosophy of the last several months, and one of the big maxims is, the fall is always planning to start. In other words, we waste too much time, deciding on what to do, but we just have to do it.
