I think we can all agree that procrastination sucks. It really does. Life would be so much easier if we just did our tasks ahead of or on time. People would be way less stressed. Why is it that we not only procrastinate the things we don’t want to do, but also the things we enjoy? We put off reading that book we want to read or buying something we’ve wanted since forever.
Sure, it allows us to get eight hours of work done in thirty minutes, but it also takes us eight hours to do thirty minutes of work. But, I will admit, the feeling of getting a task done that you’ve been putting off is one of the best feelings in the world.
