—GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Your strategic program begins with identifying your procrastination patterns so
you can apply the appropriate techniques for replacing them with the effective
work patterns of producers.
WARNING SIGNS OF PROCRASTINATION
These six warning signs will help you quickly determine if you have significant
difficulties with procrastination, goal achievement, or inefficient work habits.
1. Does life feel like a long series of obligations that cannot be met? Do you
• keep an impossibly long “to do” list?
• talk to yourself in “have to’s” and “should’s”?
• feel powerless, with no sense of choice?
• feel agitated, pressured, continually fearful of being caught
procrastinating?
• suffer from insomnia and have difficulty unwinding at night, on
weekends, and on vacations (if in fact you take vacations)?
2. Are you unrealistic about time? Do you
• talk about starting on projects in vague terms such as “sometime
next week” or “in the fall”?
• lose track of how you spend your time?
• have an empty schedule without a clear sense of commitments,
plans, subgoals, and deadlines?
• chronically arrive late at meetings and dinners?
• fail to take into account the actual time it takes to drive across
town during rush hour?
3. Are you vague about your goals and values? Do you
• find it difficult to stay committed to any one person or project?
• have difficulty knowing what you really want for yourself, but
are clear about what you should want?
• get easily distracted from a goal by another plan that seems to
be free of problems and obstacles?
• lack the ability to distinguish between what’s the most important
use of your time and what’s not?
4. Are you unfulfilled, frustrated, depressed? Do you
• have life goals that you’ve never completed or even attempted?
• fear always being a procrastinator?
• find that you’re never satisfied with what you accomplish?
• feel deprived—always working or feeling guilty about not
working?
• continually wonder “Why did I do that?” or “What’s wrong with
me?”
5. Are you indecisive and afraid of being criticized for making a mistake?
Do you
• delay completing projects because you try to make them
perfect?
