Procrastination by the Numbers
Procrastination has received a bum rap in many quarters. The most common cause
of procrastination is fear. All action bears a consequence. If we are unsure of
what that consequence will be, we may hesitate to move forward. In these
circumstances the cause of the fear may first need to be removed before we can
comfortably proceed.
In the alternative, you can choose to ignore or to overcome the fear, and forge
ahead by sheer will power. This approach severs the unity between the conscious
mind and the subconscious mind. Although you may feel good about the
accomplishment achieved with this effort, you will be exhausted from the
conflict.
Your procrastination is telling you something about the situation. At some level
you are stymied for a good reason. Seldom is procrastination the result of
laziness, although some small percentage of the time, I suppose, it can be
attributed to lack of ambition.
As you work with numerology, you will begin to pay attention to your inner
voice. Many of my students have expressed amazement that the sensitivity to the
cycles and the inner promptings have kept them from acting on decisions that
looked favorable to their logical mind, but would have produced negative
results.
Numerology tells us that there are times to take action and times to delay
action. Procrastination can be a means of allowing the perfect timing to arise.
A premature action can sometimes be less desirable than no action at all.
In your business, on certain days you are attentive to detail. These are the
days to sign agreements and to keep the records. Other days have a scattered
energy that impels you to a lick and a promise. On these days you will more
likely ignore the fine print to your detriment. Your inner voice will usually
clue you in if you are listening. If you have not yet become keenly aware of
your inner messages, the numbers will tell you the actions that are best.
As a recap for new readers and as a refresher for those of you who have been
with us for a while, the following list will give you a clue whether to act or
to wait. If you do not know your numbers or the numbers of your business, the

ideas.

anything that is not fun to do. This is a day to use your will-power to keep
focused.
4 this energy is hard-working at routine and detailed tasks. Procrastination
occurs when the task is unclear or requires new skills.
5 The unexpected changes under this energy will upset the best laid plans.
Procrastination comes from the inner knowing that your direction may be changed
and that your effort in getting right to the job would have been wasted.
6 This is the most balanced energy. Procrastination means that you have placed a
low priority on the delayed project. The reason for the low priority may need to
be analyzed.
7 Procrastination under this energy stems from a need for a thorough analysis,
not only of the item of the procrastination, but of your entire path. This
project may not fit into the revised plan.
8 this is the energy of accomplishment and mastery. Procrastination usually
means that the matter is too petty or too boring for your attention. You may be
better served by delegating the task.
9 This is the energy of completion. The delayed task may be one that should be
started in a new cycle. to move forward under this energy may mean that the
project will fold prematurely.
There is always a reason for procrastination, both in your personal and business
decisions. Find the reason and you can make procrastination your friend. When
you go with the flow of the numbers you will realize that sometimes you also
serve when you sit and wait.
