 %PROCRASTINATION CONFUSION LACK INTEGRATIVE IDEALS 881008

     Often  procrastination is regarded as merely  putting
off doing what one knows should be done. The assumption is
made  that the essence of procrastination is lack of  will
power to discipline oneself.

     The  essence  of power is a focus of will,   not  the
total amount of will. If an amount is of the essence it is
not the total amount of will which is the essence, but the
degree to which the will is coherently focused.

     Procrastination  is characteristic of people  who  do
not  have  coherently  focused lives.  Their  efforts  are
scattered   in   incoherent  ways.   They  lack   fruitful
integrative principles by which to focus their efforts.

     Procrastinators  have confused  motivations,   rather
than  motivations which are focused by clear purposes  and
conceptions of their being authentically themselves within
their human limitations. Procrastinators are not motivated
to   be  authentically  themselves.   Procrastinators  are
motivated  by  unfocused  efforts  to  please  conflicting
external   demands.   They  have   internalized   external
conflicts and vice versa.  They lack an internal  coherent
basis   for  making  decisions  and  taking  action   with
integrity.
