Did you ever wonder what causes a person to procrastinate?

Did you ever ask yourself, “Why do I procrastinate?”

In a second, you will learn practical tips on ‘how to not procrastinate’,
but first let’s find out what actually causes a person to procrastinate…

A) You might be over analyzing the situation or the reasons for doing
whatever you need to do. This is known as Analysis Paralysis. In Internet
Marketing arena, this can be cause by having too much information
(Information Overload) and not enough scalable action.

Instead of learning one strategy and applying it to their business or just
simply implementing it, some people become learning ‘junkies’ and
learn about everything and anything that has to do with doing business
online.

There is nothing wrong with learning new things and being knowledgeable
in any particular topic; however, over doing it and not implementing the
learned material may hurt some people in the long run.

B) You might experience anxiety associated with that particular task
(action). What is interesting, is that you may not consciously know that
you experience anxiety associated with that task due to its deep nature.
In other words, you might have some past experience that conditioned
you not to enjoy that particular task (action, situation) ‘very much’.

Sometimes people can program themselves while not even having the
slightest idea they are doing it.

For example, you probably have heard people saying, “I am not a good
writer,” “I can’t write,” “Writing is my weakness,” or anything of that
sort… If they have been saying that to themselves for a long time, then
the chances are… writing really became their ‘weakness’.

C) You might have a really busy life and your day’s filled with all kinds of
tasks and places you have to be at. However, busy does not necessarily
mean productive.

You might be busy doing (or reacting) random daily tasks that just happen
to appear on your way as you go through the day instead of consciously
implementing (or acting) the things that will get you closer to your
desired goal.

There is a good chance that you get so swept away by all kinds of things
that happen during the day that you simply say to yourself: “I will do
this tomorrow or another time, when I get a moment to sit down and truly
focus.”

This is not a good thing because it tends to repeat itself, if you already
haven’t noticed that…

This is the Part 1 in the “How To Stop Procrastination And Analysis
Paralysis” Series…

In the Part 2, I will give really practical solutions you can apply to
stop procrastination and get things done… so stay tuned!
