Introductions and Procrastination Discussion

I've been posting here on the forums for a while now, but am scared to try the call ins.  I think they might help, but I guess I don't really know what to expect. I read the phone bridge stuff, but I still feel intimidated.  Can anyone give me some encouragement or share some way that the call ins help you personally? Do they help you?  How is it different than posting? etc.

I am so thankful for this community.

I'm currently spamming the Internet with the following prayer request for all of us. Please join me in praying and pass it on to as many people as possible!

Please pray for everyone who struggles with procrastination to find the strength to get on and live life. This is all I want for my birthday on September 9th. 

I'm Bob.

If you've seen David Duchovny's character in Californication, I think you pretty much know who I am (except for the whole sex thing). The self-loathing, the wasted potential, the empty existence after empty experience are all there.

I'm working on my dissertation--now on my seventh year of a four-year program. I've been procrastinating like a champ since I was a kid though. I used to brag about how I could finish things at the last minute and how well I worked under pressure. Now I just want to slap that kid.

The 15-Minute Method

Here's a simple yet very powerful productivity method I'd like to share with you. I call it the 15-minute method.

Does anyone have major anxiety issues creating procrastination problems rather than the other way around?

Over the last decade I experienced multiple losses and felt inundated with all there was to do. I was working 24/7 and always doing something in one area at the expense of something else in another one. I was anxious most of the time and I started avoiding things to deal with feeling so overwhelmed. Of course, that only made matters worse and the anxiety/procrastination cycle started.

I just recently quit drinking, and had alot of support and help with that by joining a forum for sobriety. I have realized, tho, after peeling back the numbing agent, that there are some serious issues that I have been avoiding, one of which is avoidance (procrastination). I've had really limited success in dealing with it on my own, like the drinking, so I sought out a forum for procrastination recovery in the same way I did for drinking recovery. That's how I found you guys.

Hi,

Is procrastination a psychological problem or pure laziness ?

I mean I accept that I am a procrastinator but many times I simply feel 'paralyzed' in doing the simplest of tasks. It is as if some invisible force is acting against me.

This force seems to put me down. How many people here have a similar experience ?

I have now signed up to PA and having read through a lot of other posts and articles am relieved to find others who have the same issues.

I had just got to point in my life where frustrations had reached an unmanageable level. This recently culminated in a huge confrontation at work and left me finally having to accept and revisit lots of problems that had been destroying my working life for months. Probably years.
