The End of Procrastination
The article suggests that procrastination often stems from fear, particularly the fear of stepping outside your comfort zone or the feeling of "Not Enough." It can bring doubts about your abilities or worth as an artist to the surface.
If fear is the reason, try listing three specific reasons why you *will succeed* if you try the task. This helps to counter the "Not Enough" mindset and build confidence in your work and ideas.
The article recommends breaking down overwhelming tasks into "teeny-tiny steps." Identify all the involved tasks and decisions, then start with the very first, smallest step you can take right now.
Perfectionism can indeed be a trap, often masking the "Not Enough" monster, preventing your work from ever being finished or seen. The key is to finish your work well and let it stand on its own, rather than endlessly trying to make it perfect.
