Procrastination or Why do we postpone tasks for later?

?‍♂️Instead, I just sit and do nonsense. I know that I spend time and blame myself, but … I continue to sit and watch the next episode of the series, which I do not even like.

⁉️Has this happened to you too?

If you answered YES - congratulations, you have Procrastination ?

_Procrastination_ (from Latin pro-crastinus = belonging to tomorrow) is a tendency to constantly postpone even important and urgent tasks, causing unpleasant feelings.

Procrastination differs from laziness or rest. It is recognized as a waste of time (unlike laziness) and you are tormented by guilt and lose energy (unlike rest).

? There are 4 main causes of procrastination and how to deal with them: 1️⃣ _Competitive tasks:_ there is so much to do, and so little time. You do not know where to start and therefore do NOTHING. ⭐️Make a to-do list. And proceed according to this list. Suppose you don’t have time to complete all the points - but there will be less throwing, and more goals achieved. 2️⃣ _Promoting "junk behavior"._ You scroll the news feed on Facebook, then pass the test "Who are you from the Avengers?" - This is much more interesting than doing the task. ⭐️Control your behavior. Allocate yourself 1 hour a day on social networks, turn off notifications on the phone until the work is completed. Encourage useful actions. Behavioral psychology, nothing more. 3️⃣ _The conflict between "I want" and "I need."_ I want to go out with friends, but I need to write a report on the work. Hmm .. I'll watch a movie. ⭐️When you rush between “I want” and “I need” it is useful to choose a side. And accept the consequences of your choice. It is better to meet friends and have fun than to sit at home and suffer from remorse. 4️⃣ _Personal reasons:_ “I can’t cope”, “I don’t want to lose, so I don’t try at all”, “I don’t want to do this”, “I don’t have the resources to do this” ⭐️ Solving the problem in communication - share your feelings. You can get valuable advice, support, or help with solving a problem.

Procrastination harms not only you personally, but the whole work team. Do not put off the fight with procrastination until later.
