Robin Sharma writes “Procrastination is an escape mechanism for people scared to do their best work“. The concept is quite similar to the concept of ‘Resistance’ developed by Steven Pressfield in the ‘War of Art’.
Still it is an excellent reminder that we should note procrastination as a symptom that Resistance is trying to make us escape from doing our Work, that is to say, our best creative work, the work that takes all our resources to be achieved, the work that can change the world.
Procrastination is not good or bad. It is sometimes quite good to postpone something or to relax. But when it comes while we should be doing our best work, it is a sign that we try to escape from our responsibility and from our capability.
