Procrastination Solutions

We assume that you have encountered some form of hesitation in your life. For those of you who do not struggle with hesitation. Congratulations! We find particularly frustrating reluctance to handle when it disguises itself as irritability, confusion and anger, pointing our hearts and minds away from where the real causes lie.

Procrastination is an interim solution to cover or push away intense feelings in the creative process. Some commercials feel anxiety before starting a project. Others feel depressed in the middle to create a project. Still others struggle is unable to complete a project, especially one that comes closest to realizing a part of their artistic visions. They do not want to take the unknown to explore a new project.
