I understand it feels like a kind of anxiety but if the goal is something you really, really want to achieve, then the whole experience becomes a more exciting, adrenaline-filled thing. And when it's done, as it probably will be due to the urgency, there is a huge sense of fulfillment. So I would say the key is finding the thing that fires your spirit, something you can really put your heart into and then the urgency will be mixed with fun.

I hardly ever feel that sense of urgency. It would take a life or death emergency for me to feel that way. I'm currently unemployed but when I have had that sense of urgency (having to finish something quickly at work) or back when I was at school when something HAD to be finished, I was so VERY uncomfortable, I wanted NOT to feel that again. Who wants to feel that agitated and anxious - as if the world is coming to an end and you're responsible for doing everything perfectly. My parents have often behave that way and I've done everything to do to avoid feeling that much PAIN. Even though I haven't given up, I can totally relate to street people who have given up. Urgency = anxiety and that seems like a lousy way to live. There must be some other ways to overcome procrastination. I agree with the poster who wrote on 10/30/08 – II.

Nothing makes me have a sense of urgency, and I can't create one out of thin air. I am willing to be out on the street or die before I do something I don't feel like doing. I just wanted to say that your article is a simplisitic way of viewing things. This doesn’t work. Nothing makes me have a sense of urgency, and I can’t create one out of thin air.
