Procrastination
I've been enjoying SARK's work for years. She often mentions her methodology for working with procrastination: microMOVEments. Does this sound at all familiar?
"I would embark on a new project, filled with excitement and enthusiasm, and then would get distracted, lose interest, or just feel overwhelmed. Every time I tried to follow through on exercises, plans, or goals, I would quit in the middle and feel like a pathetic failure."
So SARK created microMOVEments. Here's the gist:
"A microMOVEment is a very tiny action that anyone can take toward some part of his or her creative dream. It's 5 seconds to 5 minutes in length, and you write it down, along with a gentle date and time for completion. I say gentle, because you can change it as many times as you need to. A microMOVEment is 5 seconds to 5 minutes long because we can do just about anything for 5 seconds to 5 minutes. You may begin and complete your microMOVEment and suddenly feel energized to continue on. That's great! Go galloping off for hours, days, or weeks of sheer activity. Or simply complete your microMOVEment and go take a nap. Or gently reschedule your next microMOVEment." SARK
SARK loves naps. You can learn more about SARK by visiting her website; there's a link to Planet Sark in my Links section to make your trip easier.
