Mentee : I am a procrastinator. I do not finish anything started.
Mentor : say what is your percentage of procrastination.
Mentee: 100%
Mentor : Did you start to eat breakfast today?
Mentee : yes
Mentor: did you finish it?
Mentee: yes
Mentor : then your level of procrastination is not 100%
Mentee: daily routine activities, I dis not mean them. There are about big,small projects.
Mentor : are you working in a job?
Mentee: yes.
Mentor: had the company given any project?
Mentee: yes
Mentor : have you finished any of them?
Mentee: I had to finish it. Otherwise how will get salary?
Mentor: you are not a procrastinator in the company.
Mentee: it is not about jobs. It is about personal projects. For my growth.
Mentor ; you are 100% procrastinator in personal development context.
Mentee: if I say 100%, you will play the percentage game
Mentor : say what do you want to say?
Mentee: it is true that I have completed some few projects for personal growth.
I have not completed many of them. That level of procrastination is the issue.
Mentor :
Drop the label "I am a procrastinator".
That does not help.
Each procrastination issue should be studied separately.
Some you procrastinate, since your values have changed.
Some you procrastinate, the market conditions have changed.
Some you procrastinate, you realise the skills needed are easy to acquire as you have imagined earlier. Decide whether to get the skills or drop the project.
Procrastination reveals your values.
Mentee : you are generally true. There are projects I have started : values have not changed. Market conditions are favourable. Skills to be acquired are not difficult. Still there is procrastination.
Mentor : what is the specific behaviour you adopt while procrastinating?
Mentee : watching movies,cricket.
Mentor : now focus on the specific distracting routine.
A well timed blog. Inspires and pushes all those ILH members heading towards being freedom finishers but would not make it trying to be perfect. Yes, you nailed it, just bring out the version 1 and refine it afterwards.
I enjoy reading this content .This article beautifully captures the cycle of perfectionism and procrastination, reminding us that progress is often messy, and that's to be okay. Your insights on embracing imperfection and taking small, consistent steps toward completion really resonates with me, it's the best way to move forward!
yes, the article makes you feel as if reading about self. I purchased Gold membership 2 years back and finally started watching videos and working on it in August, 2024. Probably I have been the biggest procastinator so far in this community, for postponing listening to your courses, under the pretextof being occupied by so many other things in life.
This time I am committed to bring a change in my life. Thanks for the reminder for procastinating recording videos now, which has been the biggest limiting belief for me.
Super Duper Coverage! The article covers all types of procrastinator (including me). It motivates us to identify the problem is our mindset only not skillset. I am motivated to taken more actions now. Thanks Sidz Love and Respect Always

The Article applies to me in toto. I felt as if someone is narrating my story of 30+ Years. Fortunately Jan 24th, 2023 was the day of realization for me and I have never looked back since then!!
My...my !!! Very humourous read. Sir your writing style reminds me of R.K. Narayan's "The Guide". Congratulations, you have reached that class. Just loved this article.

Find ways to break the power of that behaviour.
Say keep your laptop infront of TV.
Meditate on your values in suitable times.
Mentee : let me see.
Love it!!😊

"Finished!" Only counts.
Version 1 is better than none.
Success is messy and shabby.
Superb. 👌

"The secret to finishing is starting messy, staying messy, and being okay with messy." Bulb on!
Yes!!
Edit : you realise that the skills needed to finish are not as easy to acquire as imagined at the start.
