We all procrastinate. From the dawn of time, we have been carrying our burdens and troubles into our future (tomorrow).
In order to provide detailed and helpful information on this topic. I procrastinated in writing this article🙄. Even though I put it off a little longer than expected, it wasn't actually my fault it was for the sake of research😕😞.
The paragraph ahead, just gave a perfect reason why we procrastinate. The main reason we procrastinate is because we have a reason behind our actions/decisions of postponing their responsibilities.
What is procrastination?🙄🤔.
Procrastination may seem harmless, but on the other hand it's like a water stored in a basket.
It steals your time🤑.
It makes easy things hard and hard things harder🙇🙇.
It assasinates your opportunities🔫⚔️.
Why we procrastinate.
1. you are probably a perfectionist.
Perfectionist have a habit of procrastinating, but unlike others who procrastinate to please themselves like sleeping, watching TV etc. Perfectionists tend to put things off, or delay completing simple/difficult task because they're worried of the rewards being less perfect.
advice: a complete imperfect task is better than an uncompleted task⚠️
2. You're probably scared of failing😵😨.
It is tempting for even an individuals with a high self esteem to delay a task because of a fear of failing. Well it's true that you can't fail at something without attempting it. But unfortunate this is a very narrow and unproductive way of thinking. People who run from their fears miss the opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skill (experience).
Always face your fears as it will eventually help you overcome it.
3. You lack self control.
Self control varies from person to person. It becomes bad when when it comes into play negatively in your productivity. Procrastination is more common with people who don't have the discipline of completing tasks in time. E.g a smoker who wants to quit smoking can spend years taking "one last cigarette".
4. You're Seeing a task a big project😮🤔.
Honestly having the impression that you have a huge task to complete, is enough reason for you to shift the task for another day. To avoid this. Try breaking seemingly huge task into small doable/achievable ones.
5. You are just lazy😂😂.
This is indeed the number one reason why we procrastinate. We just don't feel like doing it now. Well being lazy isn't always bad. Because "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy". It's okay to take a break and maybe catch some fun like watching TV etc. Rather than just working all day. But it becomes bad when this behaviour becomes a habit.
Please feel free to share with us the category of procrastinators you find yourself in😇😇.
Woff, woff!
Hello @edywill, Nice to meet you!
I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.
KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!
Tips:
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!
Woff, woff! 🐶

LOL... I hope you recover fully😂😂😂. Thanks @aliyu-s for commenting😇.
Amen. Thanks! ✌🏽
U're welcome👍.
I typically procrastinate when I feel overwhelmed by a task or when there is so much to do that I WANT to be doing but I don't know what to do first or where to start, and I can't seem to focus and concentrate. I was actually tapping about that today in my therapy session, to work on being able to focus that energy when needed.
I am terrible about procrastinating....usually regarding posts #1 and #2 in your post. I don't like to DO something until I have thoroughly planned it and made it perfect. That, or I'm just too scared it's going to fail. I am not allowing myself to do that with SteemIt. Just got my account activated today and I'm diving right in!!
