I've been meaning to write this article for a long time...How ironic is that?

It's all too easy for us to procrastinate.  We can all readily find excuses to avoid doing something we don't want to do.   But there's one thing about procrastination that's really hard to figure out.  If there's something we really, really want, something we're really passionate about, why on earth would we want to delay it?

When we find ourselves procrastinating about something that we think we really want, it's important to ask ourselves these questions:

Stay focused.  Distractions can delay or derail our progress.  It's easy to rationalize, "Hey, I've got a lot of time before that needs to be done.  I think I'll organize my sock drawer today."   When you find yourself tempted to do something menial and totally unrelated to your goal, go back and ask yourself the above questions.

So procrastination is really a part of a bigger concept, prioritization.   If it really is a goal, something you want passionately, it should be very high on your personal priority list.  

Give yourself permission to succeed.  Choose to do something today to bring yourself closer to your goals and dreams.
