Chapter 6 – Procrastination
Procrastination can be the reason you don’t make it through many tasks throughout the day. You might find you get drawn into a television show or playing on the Internet. When you look at the clock the day has gone by and you haven’t completed any of your work. This lack of productivity will cause you to be very unmotivated.
Procrastination can be damaging. The effects can also be damaging if your procrastination causes problems with your work life, personal life and more. Putting things off are a serious problem for many people and you need to get the ball rolling.
Many people are very aware they procrastinate, but they cannot get out of the funk they are stuck in. You can. It is common to sit around and think about how things could be or how things will be. You might have a project you need to complete and sit around and think about doing the project but never get started with it. You might meet deadlines at the last minute. This doesn’t make anyone feel good about themselves.
If your motivation is lacking on a project you might consider changing the focus to something else that needs to get done. If you have a paper due and you cannot get focused don’t sit in front of the computer and play. Find something else around the house to get done and then go back to get the paper done. Starting another task may give you the momentum you need to get rolling with the project you need to get done.
Procrastination can be very damaging. You might be aware or unaware of the procrastination you suffer with. However, you need to pay attention to the time you spend sitting around doing nothing. When you can beat procrastination and you become entirely productive you will be very positive about life. You will also be motivated to take on new projects too, because you will be spending less time sitting around.
