Sometimes you become completely stuck and simply cannot set a start date to do something or just cannot get going.
Professional help can be productive in many ways.
* as a support

* uncovering core limiting beliefs
* changing the beliefs
* preparing for change
* encouraging and motivating
* sustaining the change when you have let go of procrastination
Whether a coach or a therapist or a specialist in a particular area is the right person for you, only you can know. It is important to find someone with whom you have a good rapport and who you can see or feel is helping you to overcome your procrastination long term.
A coach is excellent at asking curious questions to help you to discover what is going on under the surface. Once you have found the answers, a coach can work with you to prepare for change. A coach will support you throughout the process of change.
Sometimes a therapist will be necessary. In cases of smoking, there are specific clinics and groups that deal with just the issue of smoking. I have known one or two people who have tried these methods and failed and then opted to have a coach and this has brought about a successful result. It is an individual matter as to what suits you best.
There are so many different types of help, so explore until you find a method that you like and are inspired to follow.
