Sources of Procrastination

Posted by joshua on Jan 26, 2010 in Advice |

What are the sources of procrastination? For me, it’s the white sheet of paper. Not knowing what to do, where to start, who to ask, how to ask, or how to do something will cause me to freeze up and justify waiting another day and another day and another day to get moving on a project. Of course, each delay makes it that much harder to begin because now I’m late and I still don’t know how to do it, so the task seems increasingly more daunting with each passing day.

How much easier my life is when I just admit that I don’t know how to do something, learn what I need to know and proceed. Acting in this manner gets the job done in a timely fashion, causes much less stress and usually makes me feel pretty good about myself in the process.

You Found Employment Crossroads -- Now do something with it.

In the miracle that is cyberspace, you've no doubt read a zillion blogs and websites about how to improve your employment picture. It's kind of sick and ironic that employment among employment "experts" seems to be doing just fine. Dubious at best.

Well, we do things a little differently here, and it boils down to basically two options:

A) Keep going to employment sites that only feature ads paid for by employers; or

B) Try something that works.

This blog is published by EmploymentCrossing.com. We feature the most comprehensive websites on the PLANET that don't charge employers to post their jobs with us. Think about that...And as we say during our elevator pitches to people who don't quite get why that's important:

"IT MEANS MORE GREAT JOBS, JUGHEAD!"
