@Wilson
I tend to work in short time-spans, so I need to start everything well in advance, although this month I’m trying an experiment and giving myself permission to work in longer blocks of time. I’ll see how it goes.

@Kelly
I recommend the book everywhere I go these days. My mother describes me as asserting my independence since I came out of the womb, so I think I was born a rebellious teen – it’s in my genes!

Alex,

I just did a happy dance that one of my favorite go-get’em books is helping you out—I’d say about any book, if there are two pages that change your life that was already worth it. Hope the other pages work pretty well, too.

I fight against the same inner-rebel problem as you described, all the time.

I know all about it, so it doesn’t get the better of me for long, but I’m amazed that after telling it that it won’t win for 20 years it’s still always lurking—this huge desire to rebel against ME. What’s up with that? *sigh*

Joanna,

So nice to see my favorite procrastination-kicker smiling out of your pages!

Regards,

Kelly

Carla sure you can! But maybe you need to tease out which bits you’re afraid of – exposure, success, criticism, hard work, end of the challenge – so you can look it in the face and walk past it…

Wilson thanks – I’m glad you enjoyed it

A very talented and well written article, Alex. Same with you, I’m used to be a procrastinator, where I loved to do all the works in last minutes in the past! However, I learned the lesson after an incident, and I always jotted down all my works in the time schedule.

Thanks for letting Alex being the guest writer, Joanna.

@Joanna I love how every prospers from different things and that they can be totally opposite! @Carla I totally understand you on this pattern. I have this silly tendency to run away the moment something looks like it's going to be successful - because I suddenly fear all the work that's going to be involved. I'm learning to use the fear to motivate me forward instead. Good luck! Alex Fayle | Someday Syndromes last blog post..Everybody wants to be a (Lab) Rat

Its interesting that I found this post this evening because I thought about how I feel like I'm sabotaging myself through fear today. Every time something positive happens (especially in business) this nagging fear taps me on my shoulder and it suddenly takes over and drags me back into my comfort zone. Can I allow myself to have want I want? Carlas last blog post..Eco Fashion: What is it?

William, I don’t dabble in those freelance waters I’m afraid… or rather, I’m glad to say. My answer would though be that there’s a market for everything. Those buying it must believe that they are getting something that meets their needs – even if it’s of little or no ‘value’. A more interesting question might be around those who are willing to sell at that price. But both sides are making a decision, conscious or otherwise… and could chose differently if they wanted to
