Most of you in blogosphere probably know who Darren Rowse is. For those of you who don’t know him, he’s a highly respected and reputable blogger online. I recently came across one of his blog post labeled How To Stop Procrastinating and Start Your Blog. Although this was a guest post and not actually Darren’s write-up, this post is full of great information that you can apply to your blog right now! Here’s a quote of my favorite paragraph in the post:
“Now that you know what causes you to procrastinate, you can begin to take steps to overcome it.
Truth be told, starting a blog is not as difficult as you think it is. All it really requires is a domain name, a content plan and a platform.
So here are some steps you can take to begin overcoming your procrastinating behaviors and start your blog:
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyways
I’ve heard this phrase a lot lately, and it couldn’t ring more true. Yes, it’s scary to start a blog. It’s scary to put yourself out there and share your ideas with the world. Yes, people may reject you. Yes, your blog won’t be perfect.
What you have to do is understand this; accept it; and start your blog anyhow.
If you allow fear to hold you back, you’ll never really be happy in life because you’ll always be compromising (or avoiding) what you truly want.”
I agree with this post that you need to stop trying to be perfect and focus on building content, and other important tasks.

the “fear” thing is the biggie: when we don’t know what to do next (our brain thinks: “mhmm, not sure if I can deal with this situation), then we go into avoidance mode. (the other two things that happen are a physical reaction and an emotional reaction. All together a potent mix to avoid doing what needs to be done)
