  2. Module 3Procrastination “The Thief of Time”

  3. Introduction to Procrastination • People need help overcoming procrastination. • If you don’t believe this, it will be difficult to change your behavior. • Ex. If you have a weight problem. You first have to admit that you have a problem!

  4. Rationalizations : The “Why?” Of Procrastination • You tend to convince yourself, “it’s not my fault.” • Whose fault is it really? • People who do this tend to say, “Fine! Everything's my fault!” • You are the one who has to control your time!

  5. Real Reasons for Procrastination: The “Why?” Of Procrastination • Lack of self-confidence. • Low frustration tolerance. • Hostility (“Ideal Fairness”).

  6. The Difference! • Main Point: • It is very important that you can differentiate your rationalizations from the real reasons you procrastinate. • This will help you to monitor your behavior and your thought processes, which is necessary to change behavior.

  7. The Procrastination Cycle

  8. The Big Squeeze – Self-Beliefs • Our behaviors and beliefs are self-perpetuating. • Situation (leads to) Beliefs (leads to) Feelings (leads to) Behavior ( leads back to….).

  9. Little Demon and How it Works • The Pleasure Principle: You want to have fun! • Nagging Self-Doubt: You don’t believe you're good enough. • The Finger of Blame:…So you point to and blame others. • Unmasking the Demon:… But really, it’s you who controls your time!

  10. Main Point (Reiterated) • Differentiating between “rationalizations and “real reasons” affects what you believe, thus affecting everything else.
