Self-Reflection

I was a procrastinator. I would set high targets, plan for so many activities but end up doing less important jobs such as checking what is going on in the social media, cleaning the house or even watching videos. My common phrase was always “I will begin working tomorrow”, however, that day was postpones most of the times. Be that as it may, laziness is not the only reason behind procrastination; there are also elements of fear and trying to be too perfect or when one feels like everything is just too much for them. This realization affected my goal-setting approach and made me see that putting off things is a protective measure employed by the mind to evade discomfort.

Upon close evaluation during my battle with procrastination, I came to learn that being proactive is not really a matter of waiting for right time while taking into consideration some aspects like momentum creation. Specifically, I observed that how much vitality I had, what I was thinking clearly about at the moment, and how I felt emotionally determined whether I proceeded with what I intended to do or put it off again. This paper outlines some of the approaches which have been instrumental in overcoming procrastination and delaying behaviors. Beginning with an exploration into the nature of procrastination itself and continuing with methods for turning intention into action, this discourse will guide you in transforming time wasted through procrastination into progressive activity.
