Procrastination is like a credit card.... It's a lot of fun until you get the bill.
"You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again." (Benjamin Franklin)
You wake up in the morning, and you have a clear list of things that need to be done.
Yet in the evening, you start to freak out because all the important tasks still haven't been crossed off the to-do list.
Now it feels too late and you use the same strategy as always. Wait, eat, forget, and see what happens.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, the evil tasks will keep following you around like little ghosts.
You end up in the hamster wheel of dissatisfaction, anxiety, stress, and disappointment in yourself.
How did this happen again?
When was the moment I lost track and started making 10 cups of coffee, scrolling over Instagram, and calling my mum instead of getting my work done?
Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone!
Procrastination is the most common trap in our modern society that leads into a spiral of unhappiness.
Research has shown:
One out of five people procrastinate so badly that it may be jeopardizing their jobs, their credit, their relationships, and even their health.
Therefore, the "I'll do it later" trap is not just a stressful habit, but in the future, it can lead to major chronic diseases such as burn out, anxiety disorder, and even depression.
With a couple of simple tricks, you can take the reins and conquer all tasks with ease in a quarter of the time you used to.
