Bite-Sized Course: Why Are You Procrastinating on Your Writing or Creative Project?
Why do we procrastinate on our writing and creativity when this is something we love to do?
It is definitely a head-scratcher. Why, when we dream of writing, when we love to create, do we not just stick our bum to the chair and do it?
When we try and fail to get the words written or get the art created we say, to ourselves, that we’re:
Crap.
Lazy.
Untalented.
Not worthy of a creative life.
Not destined to have a creative life.
Not ready to be a writer or a creative.Â
Imposters - frauds!
But I am ninety-nine percent sure that none of these are true. We have a tendency to put ourselves down, sometimes quite viciously, as a knee-jerk reaction. We can beat ourselves up quite soundly and this can make your procrastination worse.
In this short, bite-sized course we are going to address procrastination, work out why we’re reluctant to put pen to paper and take action to drive us forward.
