The Consequences of Procrastination

Procrastination can lead to feelings of stress, guilt, and decreased productivity. It causes increased stress levels as deadlines approach and can make you feel less productive and guilty. Procrastinating also reduces the quality of your work and can create a constant sense of anxiety. Moreover, it can decrease productivity in general and make you feel less confident in yourself. The short-term relief of avoiding a task often outweighs the long-term benefits of completing it, causing people to procrastinate.
