Thoughts

Some call it laziness. I see it more as fear—fear of failure, of not getting it quite right or up to your personal standard.

When it comes to client work, I’m the opposite: I tackle the hardest tasks first, and the rest falls into place. But with personal projects—portfolio pieces, passion work—that’s where procrastination often takes over. Maybe you’ve felt the same.

At some point, you decide to stop waiting. You re-launch your (V-MUCH WIP) personal website. This will be a place to share my work, ideas, and possibly some of my travel insights. If it inspires even one person, I’ve done my part.

If there’s something you’ve been putting off, start today. Progress over perfection—especially for fellow creatives. You’re more ready and capable than you think.

Reframe procrastination as fear, not laziness.
Procrastination often hides fear—of judgment, imperfection, or wasted effort. Once you recognize that, you can face it head-on. Awareness is the first step.
Treat it like a prototype.
Iteration beats hesitation. Your work doesn’t need to be perfect—just published. You get better through doing, not waiting.
Start with the small wins.
Knock out a few easy tasks first. Quick momentum can give you the boost you need to take on the more complex challenges.
Celebrate your progress.
Launching something—especially a long-simmering project—can be emotionally draining. Take time to acknowledge the win. Reflect. Recharge. You'll approach the next thing with a clearer mind.
