(Hosting-NewsWire.com, December 27, 2012 ) Goshen, MA – Along with Stop Smoking, Lose Weight and Exercise More, top New Year’s resolutions this time of year always include Stop Leaving Things Till the Last Minute. According to Marcia Yudkin, author of a new book on the creative process, however, a determined decision to overcome procrastination doesn’t usually in itself solve the problem. Her book, Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work, suggests instead that chronic procrastinators ask themselves about the hidden benefit of their tendency and in some cases celebrate it as a creative strength (http://www.yudkin.com/inspired.htm ).
“A professor in Ottawa says that there are no positives to procrastination,” says Yudkin, “which is astounding considering that the topic has given him material for a podcast, blog, book and comic strip. In my workshops, when I ask people to reflect on what they get out of procrastination, many interesting insights emerge. Putting things off can also keep the family peace longer, hold off failure, bring on an exhilarating adrenaline rush or prompt someone else to perform a task you’d rather not do. ”
Yudkin also recommends reformulating procrastination from a weakness to a strength to see whether that opens up a more positive set of attitudes and behaviors. “Try on the thought, ‘I am very good at getting things done at the last minute.’ Does that get you feeling happy and excited? Does it get you thinking about ways you can use that ability in your career?”
Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work offers 280 pages of research, anecdotes, techniques and advice on greater creativity and productivity. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 at Amazon.com or BN.com and for $9.99 in Amazon’s Kindle store or Barnes & Noble’s Nook store.
