Procrastination is wisdom

Procrastination is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when you really want something more for yourself, but you lack the knowledge and capability to do it.

What procrastination means is that your goal or ambition is great. It's something you'd like for yourself, but you're not the right person to execute the plan to achieve it, at least not right now. You need a WHO to get you through whatever stage you're in, because at the moment, you're clearly not in possession of the needed knowledge or capability. If you were, you wouldn't be procrastinating.

Procrastination is wisdom -- if you listen to it. If you don't listen, then procrastination leads to misery and mediocrity. It's a very powerful signal telling you that it's time to enroll a helper to get you unstuck. Everyone who is ambitious procrastinates at some point. It is part of having big goals that stretch far beyond you.

Who can you enroll to get you unstuck? What do you need to learn to prepare to meet your ambitious aims? How can you break-down a goal so that you're achieving the end result little by little as you gain the needed expertise?
