Nicky is so right. You can be all you want to be – you can be the best at what you do – the greatest in your field – an athelete par excellance – perfection is for the conceited or the gods.

Michael J Fox once said: I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.”

I wonder – is perfection something we can embrace. Hmmmm.

Fantastic! I really needed this… the hardest for me though is ‘Embrace imperfection’ – I’m really working hard on that one because wanting to do a fantastic job first time, every time keeps me from doing the job at all.

Emil – that makes great sense – as some of my better writings come when I sit with a cup of coffee at the Panera bread and enjoy a fruit cup and a pad and pen…

I often relieve writers block by reading – great works usually get me very motivated!

Sometimes I have that writer block. Nothing helps better than changing work environment. I can easily write an article or another 1000 words for my novel going to a cafe at days when I just don't feel like opening the burning piece of work. Blogging is easier because the amount of work is smaller. You can write a great article by one shot (not including routine rewrites). Try to sit at a place not designated for work at all. My last piece of work was written in a plane. Emil @ Writy.

Thanks, this really helped me get over the “I’m just being lazy” thing; getting to the root of my procrastination will lessen its effects.

Great Article!!
The one thing I try to teach my clients that are members of Procrasti-NATION IS that you need to look at your to-do list and find the one item you really do not want to do and make sure IT IS the item you do FIRST everyday! Then do that everyday for a month – so it can become a habit. Once you start your day by getting the “crap” out of the way first and early – all days are better! You can then look forward to great days – every day!

Procrasti-NATION must fall – check it out here- maybe you and your readers will get some ideas…
