Anyone who has been taking action and working towards their goals for an extended amount of time knows that procrastination is one of the biggest motivation and result killers.
Procrastination occurs in our society every single day and a lot of people's lives are actually controlled entirely by this phenomenon.
We have all tried when the feelings of procrastination hit us and try to convince us that it will be a lot better to wait for a better time to take action.
It is also one of the biggest reasons why many people never reach their set goals and just grow happy with having a mediocre life.
In this article I will discuss some of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to overcoming procrastination.
By avoiding these mistakes you can start taking massive action immediately and hereby changing your life.
The first mistake people make is that they give their brain too much control in what they should or shouldn't do.
The brain is the most advanced and sophisticated computer on the planet, but if we don't understand the best ways to leverage it's power, it will take control and become lazy.
Your brain will always give you reasons for why you shouldn't take action and why it is better to wait.
When this happens it is up to you to take action and start the action you had already decided doing.
When you do this you will realize that your brain is very quick to adapt and within seconds it will agree that the task at hand is the most productive way to spend time.
The next mistake people make is that they don't build momentum.
Most people don't understand the power of momentum and how it can affect you both very negatively and positively.
If you just fight procrastination for a couple of days and then allow it to control your life again, you don't have any momentum and it will be very easy to fail in your quest for personal power.
Instead you should make sure that you are consistently fighting your urge to give in and in this way building massive amounts of momentum.
When you have done this for 2-3 weeks you will feel that it becomes a lot easier to overcome procrastination and take control of your life again.
Avoid making these very common mistakes and you will quickly realize that you will have gained additional personal power.
