Perfection Paralysis and Procrastination
If you ask anyone that knows me really well… TODAY they will say that I am a Ready, Fire, Aim kinda gal….Well it has not always been that way. They will probably say that I have no fear and really do Take Charge! in my life….
It was not always so…and how does someone go from having a difficult time with decisions, becoming stuck at every turn and letting great things pass you by because you were waiting for the PERFECT time to do something….to someone who jumps at opportunities and loves challenges.
Life happens….and I am sure it happens to everyone at some point or another…mine happened one day when I could not live the life I had and wanted something different…but I did not know that yet.
I had to put the need for perfection into perspective, I had to stop being afraid and lastly I had to stop procrastinating. Procrastination is essentially postponed decisions…the last step in my evolution was to start making decisions, decisions that are right for me…and not being afraid of mistakes….
For more information on Procrastination please read this awesome article by Monica Ricci.
Finally be honest with yourself today….what decisions are you postponing and if you took a stand and made the decision where would that road lead to?

Hello Stephanie,
I have not read the book and will add it to my 2010 reading list. Perhaps someone was following me and thought they would write an unauthorized autobiography
Love the video…how many times did he say “Stuff Done”?
Thanks for dropping by and sharing those awesome tidbits.
