Especially when you compare our views of ‘have’ to ‘want’... it really puts things in perspective. I think a lot of the change started with the the rise of birth control, and the generation of the 60's and 70's. That is really where the ability to manipulate nature, and control its consequences begins. Graham: I wish more people would think like this.

Often a difficult task is avoided in favor of the less difficult. Tasks that take longer amounts of time are less desirable than those that can be completed quickly. People sometimes procrastinate due to fear of failure. No one wants to be embarrassed by a lack of knowledge or skills when beginning a new task. Overcoming the fear of failure and developing good work habits will do wonders for those who tend to procrastinate. Why do people procrastinate?

Just setting goals is never enough, you need an emotional driver like D had when he visualized his lungs deteriorating. It doesn't have to be a shock like this, it can be something that means a lot to you or your loved ones. It is all about thought control, making the change from "I have to do this" to "I want to do this". This is how I beat my procrastination habit some years ago and I have never looked back.
