Procrastination is a term used to describe a reluctance or unwillingness to engage in activities, work, or effort

Feeling anxious 😰*, ughhh let’s do it tomorrow. Feeling sad* πŸ˜”*, ughhh let’s do it tomorrow. So is there an end to tomorrow? wait.. wait.. wait……… NO. The answer will always be a big* πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ ❌ NOOOOO

What are the reasons behind laziness πŸ€”?

  1. Lack of clear goals - We don't get started on things that we don't know YET

  2. Fear of failure - It becomes one of the main reasons that holds us back. But there's also a chance of success

  3. Overwhelm - We humans either want to do everything at once OR nothing

  4. Perfectionism - We can't hope to be perfect when starting out something new, right?

    But we can always strive to be

  5. Lack of interest - Tasks that we find uninteresting or mundane are often put off in favor of more engaging activities.

  6. Lack of accountability - Without external accountability or consequences for not completing tasks, individuals may struggle to find the motivation to act.

  7. Depression or anxiety - It's a loop

Here's how : I can't get it done because I am depressed. I am depressed because i can't get it done. Does that ring any bell ?

  1. Poor time management skills - Does it need any explanation?
