David Allen over de relatie tussen verbeeldingskracht, perfectionisme en dralen/treuzelen:
"If your body responds to the pictures you give it, how are you likely to feel physically when you think about, say, doing your taxes? Are you sendng yourself "easy," "let's go," completion, succes and "I'm a winner!" pictures? Probably not. For just that reason, what kinds of people would logically be the most resistant to being reminded about a project like that -- that is, who would procrastinate the most? Of course, it would be the most creative, sensitive, and intelligent people! Because their sensitivity gives them the capability of producing in their minds lurid nightmare scenarios about what might be involved in doing the project, and all the negative consequences that might occur if it weren't done perfectly! They just freak oput in an instant and quit!"
(David Allen (2001), Getting Things Done, New York: Viking Pinguin, pp. 241)
Well, that explains......
