Understanding Procrastination

Procrastination is the voluntary delay of an intended act despite knowing it will be worse off for the delay. This can lead to negative consequences, causing stress, mistakes, and leaving a path of destruction behind. Recognizing and understanding why we procrastinate is crucial. It can be a result of feeling overwhelmed, lacking clarity, being distracted or unmotivated. Purposeful delay, as long as it's not right up to the last minute, can be a good strategy for managing time and energy. Seeking clarity, understanding potential consequences, visualizing a sense of accomplishment, breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting realistic expectations, and getting the necessary support and resources can help overcome procrastination.
