Why am I putting it off? Because there is no driving force. I don't feel the urge to do so. I know that it is already high time for me to get a valid ID because I would be applying for a job soon and will be using it for requirements and what-nots, but I don't feel the pressure ...and I guess there lies my problem. I have been used to procrastinating that I become stagnant when there is no urgent need to accomplish something. But then, when I tried to think of a way on how to become "unused" to procrastinating, I can think of nothing that will not involve forcing myself to do things I don't want that will eventually make me hate myself in the long run. So I clicked on the related challenge on How To Overcome Procrastination. And my goodness did I learn something! There can be an underlying issue under the underlying issue! And these two underlying issues of all underlying issues of procrastination hit the underlying issues of my procrastination right down to the last dot and tittle! Back to sanity. I realized that both causes of procrastination apply to my problem. There is a lack of desire because the profession I am to commit myself into in the near future is not aligned with my inner desires (I mean I CAN be a good nurse but I don't want to be a nurse, I want to be an interior designer). There is also a fear of uncertainty because I don't know the exact steps on how to file for a valid ID.
Top reason why I want this done:
Because it is important and it is better not to put it off. This should be easier if I had wanted to do this task as much as I want to sketch, or even exercise, but I don't want to do it and that's what makes it hard to do. I just have to remind myself that it is really really important (as what I have been told).
Action Plan:
I'm gonna have to do this on Wednesday. Wake up early. Go to the municipal hall, ask as many relevant questions as I can, pay the fees, get the documents, and pass the requirements. Doesn't look that hard, does it? Easier said than done when one is not certain of anything but I'm gonna do this on Wednesday. Maybe it's not a very "robust" plan but I must not procrastinate anymore.
