steps to its completion?  If not, you must get the steps clarified before you can begin.  If you are easily overwhelmed, you might want to make sure these steps are broken down into tasks you could complete in an hour or less.  Yes, this might be a lot of tasks but if it means you can move forward, it is a necessary step. 2.  Do you not know how to do something involved in the project? It is impossible to start a project if you don't know how to do it.  Look for training, information, tools, etc. to get you ready to do this project.  Admitting that this is the reason for your procrastination, is an important first step and will allow you to begin working towards its completion. 3.   Is it something you hate to do? We all have things we hate to do.  The secret here is to break the task up into tiny manageable chunks.  Use a timer, and just focus for that amount of time.  Try 10 minutes at first.  By agreeing with yourself that you will only work on the hated task for 10 minutes you might find the boost to do it.  After a little break, try another 10 minutes, and so on, until it is done. These are only three reasons why you might be procrastinating.  If none of these reasons seem to fit, try an iPad app I use.  (I did not get paid to tell you about it....I use it myself!)
