Hi Martin. Thanks for your question. Procrastination, as you know, can be very debilitating. You're not getting thing done that you need to, and you end up feeing bad about yourself. Fortunately, fears like this can be fairly easily dealt with through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT teaches you to think differently, which causes a change in feelings. It has been proven to be very effective with changing self-destructive behaviors. I have found that, instead of trying to figure out why you procrastinate, it is more effective to examine your erroneous thinking about things - such as your fear of bad things happening. So, I would suggest you try to find a CBT therapist who can help you learn to change how you look at things. You could also get some books on the subject and try reading those - but I think you would have more success with therapy.

Best wishes, and please let me know if I can answer any further questions. Tamara

you're welcome!
