Stop calling it procrastination and just tell the absolute truth
I’m not saying you’re lying, but…
Don’t say I’m procrastinating say,
I don’t want to.
Don’t say I’m procrastinating say,
I don’t know where to start.
Don’t say I’m procrastinating say,
I don’t have the energy right now.
Don’t say I’m procrastinating say,
I’m worried what people will say if I fail.
The truth provides an avenue for enquiry.
I don’t want to - what would make it more fun?
I don’t know where to start - how could you break it down into smaller pieces?
I don’t have the energy - what are you doing that’s causing you to have low energy?
I fear the judgment - who from?
The truth opens the door for exploration towards clarity - a vague word describing inaction closes the door on exploring and keeps you stuck.
This list is far from exhausting, what else could procrastination mean in truth?
