Everyone procrastinates; it can happen in short bursts, where you ignore the dirty dishes until bedtime, or it can be long-term such as when you put off quitting smoking until that terrible diagnosis comes back from your doctor.
Putting off or procrastinating unpleasant tasks and chores is only natural; we don't want to do something, so we don't. This can make us feel more in control, it can seem like a slight indulgence to walk away from unpleasant tasks, or we can simply ignore that thing we don't want to think about or handle at the moment.
Very often procrastination is something that is remedied after a short amount of time. Those dirty dishes eventually get done. The laundry gets folded or the gutters get cleaned out. We may also eventually find other solutions to the problem, such as having one of the kids do the dishes or paying someone else to clean out the gutters.
But there are many times when procrastination becomes a complete time waster. It may interfere with small goals but with larger ones as well. If you procrastinate when it comes to learning how to prepare healthy meals and procrastinate when it's time to go grocery shopping, your larger goal of losing weight is sidelined. This might also.
interfere with your goal of saving money since it may mean eating out more often, which is typically more expensive. So you not only need to scramble to find something to eat every day, you also put off those other goals as well.
As we've already mentioned, once time is gone, it's gone for good. So the time you use up procrastinating is not going to be given back to you. This too is another important reason to think about how procrastinating is an enemy of maximizing your schedule to accomplish your goals and take control of your life.
But this is easier said than done. Simply saying, "Get up and do this," isn't enough to motivate most people to stop procrastinating. If it were, no one would fall prey to this habit!
