I wanted to start meditating for a while but I keep putting it off. How can I stop procrastinating?

Based on mroe than just this comment, have a serious talk with yourself

Procrastination is often not about being lazy, but a deeply embedded or burried fear of failure. That being said, being overwhelmed can also stop you from taking action of any kind, and a part of fixing that pattern (which has usually already developed once you start to recognize procrastinating is a provlem for you) is indeed cutting everything into bite sized chunks.

Break the work up into smaller chunks, writw them down on a physical piece of paper. Also try running the program Focalfilter, block the sites which most commonly distract you.

It sounds like a joke but it’s actually a pretty serious conundrum. Those who need the most help with procrastination very well might be procrastinating getting that help.

... Which underscores again the fact that all of us need at least one kind, honest friend and a dose of humility to listen to their feedback.
