"fear of failure often causes people to procrastinate"I am the worst procrastinator EVER. It was bad when I was really depressed but now that I'm feeling better, what's my excuse? I do the absolute bare minimum that needs to be done. My paperwork and lists of things waiting for me to do get shoved into a black bag.
I'm spending $15 a month because I haven't taken my truck through emissions, my "change oil light" has been on for weeks, I've had a script for blood work from my GP for at least a month, my dog desperately needs to be groomed, my truck is an absolute disaster, I haven't done my taxes, work stuff, blah blah blah.
For me I don't think its "fear of failure" ...I think I'm so used to being paralyzed as a result of my depressed state that I'm having trouble breaking free of this bad habit.
Anyone else? Any tips?
