Resistance

- Procrastination means putting off doing something that you know you should do.

- Resistance is the feeling that makes you procrastinate. It's the fear of failure or rejection that stops you from doing what you need to do.

- The more important something is to you, the more likely you are to resist it.

- If you're having trouble with procrastination, there are books that can help you. One good book is called Do the Work by Stephen Pressfield.

- Pressfield suggests that you "turn pro" in your job search. This means taking yourself and your job search seriously, and doing the work that is needed to get the job done well.

- To "turn pro," you need to be aware of what distracts you from your progress. Write down any triggers that might pull you off the job-search path, and think about what you can do to lessen those distractions.
