Procrastination is a murderer!

in #help6 years ago (edited)

Procrastination causes anxiety and drops in success, which can lead to long term problems.

The reason we procrastinate varies from person to person and is not always obvious. Sometimes it is a hidden fear that we don’t want to acknowledge, or it could even be as simple as not wanting to do something because it just doesn’t motivate us. Whatever the reason may be, if you know you are a procrastinator, be careful: it has far more damaging effects than you may realize.
Here are the eight most common ways that procrastination can destroy your life:

  1. You will lose precious time.
  2. You will blow opportunities.
  3. You won’t be able to meet goals.
  4. You could ruin your career.
  5. You will lower your self-esteem.
  6. You will make poor decisions.
  7. You will damage your reputation.
  8. You will risk your health.

Procrastination has many negative effects, but luckily there is a simple solution that makes work easier. Change your mindset about the work you have to do. Some things are not optional and have to be done, in high school and in life, so look at work positively. Take into account any feelings of resistance towards your duties, and push them away. It’s okay to feel stressed, or like you cannot do what you need. However, you can trick your mind into being excited about work. Remind yourself of the completely satisfying feeling of completion. Assignments do not disappear, but mindful motivation will push you through the most tedious tasks.
High schoolers often feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but hard work really does pay off. Stay positive and do not distress. If completing tasks starts to feel rewarding, procrastination will not persist.
