Whenever I used to postpone a task and say to myself that I’ll do it later, I’d label myself as a ‘procrastinator’. I looked at myself as someone who lacked focus… Someone who’s just lazy. But these weren’t really the root cause. And I kept looking for the root cause for a long time. And it is only recently that I stumbled upon something strangely effective. Something that completely went under my radar. (how can I be so dumb?) I realized that the real root cause turned out to be something that I completely neglected. Which was indecision. Simply put, I was always super indecisive. I just could not make a freaking decision, for God’s sake. Amd what did I do instead: I would let my environment dictate what’ll happen. I would let other people decide how things will go. And I would literally do nothing and waited to see “how things will go.” This was my way of making a decision. Letting things happen and seeing where life takes me. It was nothing short of a coin flip to decide my next action. No wonder I couldn’t keep a promise to myself. But I’m super grateful that I’ve discovered the law of decisiveness. What I’ve realized is that…procrastination stems from not taking a decision. Every time we procrastinate or put things off… we have a few options to choose and we’re literally not deciding to pick either one of them. So, what do we instead of making a decision? We DON’T do that task at all. And then we say to ourselves: “Why does this keep happening to us?” And this is why we tend to spiral into a series of procrastination. So, the solution is shockingly simple. It is to literally DECIDE. And the easiest part about it is that…. Even if you decide NOT to do a task…that is still a decision. If you’re stuck in a rut and in a loop of endless procrastination (and endless guilt)... chances are that there are so many pending decisions that are waiting for your order. You’re literally the emperor sitting on a throne, and your butler (tasks) comes to ask you for your permission.
