by Scott Allan

Fear lies at the center of procrastination: the fear of success, responsibility, the unknown, and decision making.

“Procrastination is not Laziness,” I tell him. “It is fear. Call it by its right name and forgive yourself. — Julia Cameron

“I’ve never done this before.” (And I have no intention of learning because I fear I might fail).

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." — Thomas Jefferson
