Understanding Procrastination
Procrastination is not a time management issue, but an emotional one.
It’s a way of coping with challenging emotions and negative moods induced by certain tasks – boredom, anxiety, insecurity, frustration, resentment, self-doubt and beyond.
The Cost of Procrastination
Procrastination has a high cost.
It not only affects productivity but also mental health, causing stress and reducing overall life satisfaction.
Mindfulness and Procrastination
Mindfulness can reduce procrastination by making us more aware of our actions and decisions, helping us make more intentional choices.
Goal Setting and Procrastination
Setting clear, achievable goals can reduce procrastination.
The more specific the goal, the less room there is for delay.
