C'mon ! there arent so many!

okay okayokay.

list huh.

okay i'll pm you a list of some of my biggest procrastinatorish zachin.

Make sure you have lots of paper in the printer.

good for you! I'll do the same.

I'm too lazy to post on this thread.
My list right now has "get more sleep" on it.

Gesher, I had the same problem. I was all excited about the Pliskin ideas and now they're all dead.

I guess my deeper issue is a fear of failing
I am undecisive because what if I'm wrong? If a man makes a decision and his wife is nowhere around to hear it, is it still wrong?
If my wife asks "chicken or beef" and I say chicken and she then says that we're having beef because it's easier, So What! She wasn't really asking what we should have for supper, she's just having a conversation.
Even if I get the answer wrong, it's fine, I got the exercise right!

At work, the consequences are a bit bigger. But it's not the end of the world if I head off in the wrong direction, ask for help and am corrected. It all adds to the amount of experience gained on the way.

Lately, I've just been passive agressive: Not doing the work on time as a sort of punishment to my co-workers for not helping me in a bad situation. That's just plain stupid. At least I see it now.

Well, at least I didn't hesitate getting my thoughts out. Sorry if it's of no use to anyone else...

Dear Toadd and Gesher,


I'm pretty lazy, so I don't know how much I'll be able to type now.

Regarding, the Rabbi Pliskin books, I think a lot of the material gets into your subconcious.  You are not aware of the affect it has on you, but it's there.  Someone mentioned an idea (toadd?) from R' Pliskin on this thread, and I started thinking, "That's funny.  I do that all the time, but I forgot that I read it in R' Pliskin's book."

Of course, much of it will have more of an affect on you while it's fresh in your mind.  I guess that's where review comes into the picture. 

With self-help books in general, I find that each one adds many tiny somethings to your system....  a trick, a technique, an outlook, a coping mechanism, or whatever. 

They then become a part of you to the extent that you forgot you picked it up in a book.

I don't think we can expect any book to SOLVE our laziness/procrastination issues, but they can be helpful.  I have many books on self-help, motivation, time management, and the like.  I even have a couple of books specifically on overcoming procrastination.  I procrastinate with reading them of course.

This must be my longest post in 6 months.  This is not good for my laziness track record.

Hi World

I'm pretty sure it all sits up in one's mind somewhere and a good way to re-activate it is to read it again - do some review.
But the best way is to put it into practice.

Records are only there to be broken
