ABSTRACT

Many creatives struggle with procrastination, sometimes to the point where we never actually start our work, much less finish it. By examining reader self-imposed no a bit more closely, and ferreting out what the consequences and possible benefits of the no are, they can move past them and return to a productive mindset and practice. In addition to looking at how telling theirself no is stopping their productivity, try this: state the concern and then turn it around to a positive affirmation. Taking time to examine how saying no to their own work helps or hinders their and then creating an affirmation to bolster their courage will help loosen the grip of procrastination.
