Yesterday we talked about how the normal form of procrastination isn’t as bad as we think it is.

Yes, there’s some stress involved with always brushing up close to a deadline, but most procrastinators always seem to come through in the 11th hour.

But what if there is no 11th hour? What if there is no deadline to kick you into gear?

The answer is that you can procrastinate indefinitely, without even realizing you are doing so.

Dreams Go By

The horrifying thing about this subtle form of procrastination is that applies to matters of critical importance: your deepest dreams and desires.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to travel or to start a side hustle or to write the great American novel, and you’ve always assumed that you’ll get to it “someday.”

Right now there are immediate issues to take care of. Plus you’re not quite ready to start. You’re not exactly sure when you’ll be ready, but you’ll probably know when it happens, right?

One day everything will click and you will start living the life of your dreams.
