So many things I want to say.

Do you know why a lion tamer holds a chair in front of him? Because the lion looks at the four legs of the chair and can't decide which leg to attack.

If you want yet another book to read, try Barbara Sher's "Wishcraft." She is the antithesis of positive thinking.

Baby steps - Commit to taking just one baby step. Then another.

A problem you'll face - when the goal and the work is in your head, it is perfect. You sign up for the class, are brilliant, get an A. and everything is wonderful. Real life is messy. You could fail. The project could come out badly. But - you're still ahead of the game if you gave it a try.

A benefit of procrastination - Usually we procrastinate because we're scared. (See above.) But sometimes the fear is well founded. Use your head, not your emotions - (what's the worst thing that could happen? What's probably going to happen. Is it worth the risk? Usually it's worth the risk.

See the thread below - A few measly steps per day.

Good luck from a fellow procrastinator.
