The Magic of Momentum How to Beat the Procrastination Monster at Its Own Game
Jul 4th, 2008 by itbsuperrich
You procrastinate, I procrastinate, all God’s children procrastinate.
In other words, it’s normal.
At the same time, there are some things about procrastination that are not normal.
I believe that procrastination has some magical powers that we need to address if we are going to be able to beat this monster.
Magical Power Number 1 - Procrastination can take a task that is something relatively small, and make it seem gigantic.
Magical Power Number 2 - Procrastination can take a task that is something that will take a relatively small amount of time to complete, and make it seem like it will take forever to get it done.
And it does not stop there. These two magical power combine to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts by continuing to grow and grow into something so humongous that you become overwhelmed and just quit.
Score another victory for procrastination.
