We've all
been guilty of pushing tasks aside at some point in our lives. But have you ever stopped to think about
why we—or others—procrastinate? While some may see it as laziness, there could
be more to it.
In the world
of psychology, it's been suggested that procrastinators struggle with managing
their time effectively. However, recent studies propose that procrastination is a way to avoid distress. When a task seems daunting or unpleasant,
it's easier to delay it.
But here's
the kicker: putting things off can lead to even more stress, health issues, and
poor performance in the long run. So, if procrastination is your middle name,
try these tips to kickstart your productivity:
1. Stop
catastrophizing.
2. Focus
on the benefits.
3. Use
your calendar wisely.
4. Be realistic and set achievable goals.
Always
remember that procrastination is just a thief of time and it should be avoided
at all cost.
