Distractions, other ideas, other opportunities, failure, negative self-talk, etc, would get in the way. And the results are always the same: You never get anything done. To me, the key finding from the study by Dianne Tice and Roy Baumeister is this: Self-regulation, self-control, willpower, are all things that we overestimate. We think:"Yeah sure, I will write a novel in 3 weeks." In our minds, we're all geniuses and mentally strong. But when the work comes, we cop out.

Procrastination is the destroyer of our dreams. Every time we don't do the things we should or want, we're putting off our lives. It's not innocent behavior. In this article, I'll show you how to beat procrastination so you can live the life you desire.
