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.

Translated from the original Latin meaning, procrastination quite literally means ‘in favor of tomorrow’. We are always pursuing ways of being better off and procrastination seems to contradict this fact Even though this is true it actually illustrates a very important point. What we do, or fail to do, is not just the result of our conscious choices, but often the result of habits or factors we are not aware of consciously. When you procrastinate, at some level of your unconscious thinking, you believe that taking the action will leave you worse off than actually taking the action.

To change this you’ll need to do two things. Firstly you must remove your association and ‘triggers’ that you might have with procrastination (see article on triggers). Although you might procrastinate at times, you cannot afford to limit yourself by giving into your bad habits.
