Procrastifectionism

Who knew that Procrastifectionism was really a term?! A few days ago, OK it was probably a few weeks ago if you want to get technical, I was driving to work and had one those Aha moments. I realized that I do not write or post photos or create enough art because I want to show my perfected, finished pieces, not the works in progress, which sometimes never get posted because I still don't think they are good enough. So I came up with a word, that I though was original, Procrastifectionism, and it appears I am not alone in putting procrastination and perfectionism together. For me, the meaning is to procrastinate finishing or even starting something because you think it has to be perfect. I found this meaning listed on a few sites:

"Procrastifectionism (noun):  Delaying action out of the fear, either conscious or unconscious, of not performing to the unreasonably high

You can google it for yourself and read what they have to say, but it does seem to be a phenomenon shared by many. Here is what I found:

So on this drive to work, I decided that this issue was no longer going to hold me back. I will write from the Heart and not the head, I will use whatever gadget I have at the time and I will edit quickly so I keep the flow of creativity going. Critique if you will, and enjoy my letting go and join me on the journey!

What have you been putting off ??
