For many, procrastination is a little bother that crops up from time to time but, for some it is a chronic problem that can be difficult to shake. Little or big the results of procrastination are the same: lost opportunities, mental frustration, increased stress, physical and mental weakness, poor job or school performance, lower self-esteem and the topper, wasted time.
Why do We Procrastinate?
To help answer that question we have to understand that procrastination is more than just poor time management. When things are easy or fun few people have trouble getting them done. Procrastination usually happens with projects that are difficult, overwhelming, complex, or disliked. One debilitating consequence is that in some cases we put off these tasks so long that they never get done. This can cause a cyclical effect that if task are not completed the mental effects cause us to repeat the same procrastinating habits over and over.
