Procrastination

Prompt: Procrastination
What do you think about procrastination, in general, and why do you think people procrastinate sometimes? And is there something you have been procrastinating about?

Procrastination isn't really a flaw but it can turn into one if carried to the extreme.

I used to take things easier and sometimes, not do them exactly on time but I found that, in the long run, this ended up giving me an unusual stress, and if I procrastinated in one area, it also affected other areas in my life by reducing my productivity and making things harder for me. So, since I have the habit of overdoing things, now I do quite the opposite. Lately, I do everything on time and even before time, which has helped my credit score rise, as a bonus.

When it comes to tasks, however, a common reason for procrastination is the fear of not doing a task well. We may delay starting something because we are overwhelmed by perfectionism or doubt our abilities, leading to avoidance as a way to escape the possibility of falling short.,

Then, finding the energy to start a boring or monotonous job can be difficult, and if any task is too big or complex, we may put off starting it because we are confused about knowing how or where to start it. So here comes the decision paralysis. This may lead to emotional avoidance and, to say the least, poor time management.

So, it may be a good idea to break tasks into smaller steps and set doable, smaller goals and face our emotional blocks.

I try not to procrastinate but in some areas, such as getting someone to do some work around the house, has become a procrastination issue for me because it is difficult for me to depend on others, even my sons, for things I don't have the strength for anymore. That is the result of being a do-it-yourself-er all my life. but I'm working on it!
