Procrastination, as explained in the dictionary, is the action of delaying or postponing something. It is the act of avoiding activities or responsibilities right up till the time you can no longer avoid them.
How often we find ourselves postponing those important things that we should be taking up immediately – be it starting to exercise or working on a relationship or spending more time on a hobby or even something like making sure to hit the bed on time. We keep giving ourselves different reasons and try to convince ourselves why now is not the right time or why it will be more beneficial and helpful if we start later. And we are so good at convincing ourselves. And the funny part is that when the self-imposed deadline arrives, we again find other reasons to convince ourselves to postpone the said action.
Why procrastinators procrastinate?
So, on our country’s 72nd Independence Day I want to share a funny but eye-opening video I came across, which can act as a motivator to set you on a path to freedom from procrastination.
Once we understand our reasons for procrastination, it is easier to help motivate ourselves to work on getting rid of this habit and use our time wisely and attain freedom from procrastination.
