Procrastination is defined as "the action of delaying or postponing something". We're all guilty of it sometimes, the responsibilities pile up and time seems to fly past you. Procrastination to some extent is unavoidable but you can't let it become a lifestyle. Growing up procrastination has always been a problem for me, but I've been trying my best to eliminate it from my life. Here are 3 reasons why we should all stop procrastinating:
1. You always have a list of things to do hanging over your head
Your completing everyday tasks and 20 things you need to do, that you haven't yet pop into your mind. Your not even sure if you remember them all and you're hoping you won't forget if you don't find some place to write it all down asap. Even when you do write it down you end up having multiple lists filled with uncompleted task that end up getting forgotten. It feels a lot better knowing you have done all the things you need to, not having to worry about what you have to do or when your going to find the time to do it. The piece of mind of having all your responsibilities under control is priceless.
2. You end up rushing to finish things
You find deadlines that seemed so far away right before you and the only option you have left is to rush through your task. Rushing through things causes stress, anxiety, and mistakes. You don't want to end up trying to complete something that would normally take you 5 hours in 30 minutes, you'll find your whole body stressed out and I doubt you'll be in the best mood either.
3. Your work doesn't reach it's full potential when you procrastinate
Sometimes we don't realize how much being organized and planning out our work before we approach it can better it. By taking the time to plan out a schedule and alot time for all the things you need to accomplish you are sure to be better off. Time and effort build a lot of the things we achieve in life. So, by avoiding procrastination, taking the right amount of time, and putting the right amount of effort into that time you'll find your productivity at it's finest.
Procrastination is one of those deceptive monsters that rears its head at all the wrong times. The temptation to do anything aside from what you should be doing. You really do have to fight it. Procrastination really is self-sabotage and it's detrimental to all of our potential and success
