If you can label it for what it is, it makes it much easier to deal with.

Calling out someone’s straw man argument helps them see where they may be being a bit unfair.

Labeling procrastination as such helps you see how much time you are wasting.

When you realise you either should or need to do something to push things forward, but for whatever reason you aren’t, make a list of the reasons why you aren’t doing that.

In most cases you’ll soon discover that those reasons aren’t genuine reasons at all, and all that’s holding you back is the fear of the unknown, of the repercussions such an action could have.

But if it’s in the name of making things better, go ahead and pull the trigger. Show me what you’ve got.
