I agree…Procrastination is kind of exciting. The longer I put off a writing project, the more exciting it becomes to finish it at the last minute. This actually helps some people write better copy.

I like very much this analogy. Setting up goals like “slaying your dragon” can make you better because even if you don’t succeed to slay the dragon maybe you got very close and that means that you accomplished more than before which is a big step anyway. Don’t be disappointed if you didn’t manage to complete the task you set in mind but instead think that you managed to make yourself better and keep on trying to slay the dragon so you can get better and better.

Slaying the dragon sounds much cooler than avoiding procrastination (facebook, twitter, cleaning anything, cooking). Thanks for sharing. At the end of the day, it is all about word production – and that requires the discipline of getting the hours in and putting the words down.
