"The worst part of being a master procrastinator is the amount of guilt you endure everyday" It got me traumatised...

[@18alimann]

Truer words my friend

[@Unknown-xg9vy]

Sooo true

[@shnoopio]

This. Imagine 10 years of this built up guilt. Imagine feeling like you have to catch up on 10 years worth of work and progress. No wonder I never start. How the heck am I supposed to catch up... Or at least that's how I feel and why I think my procrastination gets a tiny bit worse every, single, day.

[@DMSGP19]

Procrastination really affects you, when you do a lot of work and take a break onwards. That break is never-ending. You just look at the time and reset your studying schedule again and again to the point that when the day ends, you never end up doing Anything. The same cycle is repeated the next day, and the worst thing about it is that you rarely get tired of it and stress starts building up, due to your huge pile of work being left uncompleted.

[@rayhane619]

I'm absolutely suffering of procrastination and phone addiction. I was always procrastinating since i was a kid but that didn't affect my school result i was actually an excellent student (i could have done even better). But ofc with the years study became harder, if you don't work you'll not get what you want. So my grades are becoming worst I'm feeling bad and disappointed because i know i could do better but i'm unable to change myself. I'm able to ignore all the work i have to do until last minute : i'll watch a series, check social media for hours, clean my room or even read a book instead of studying. So i'm promising myself in front of y'all that i'll change. The third semester in school is gonna start and i promise i'll try my best. ❤️

[@nigaralizada2940]

As a procrastinator you know exactly what is the reason of your failure, it makes you angry with yourself, you know you'd be one of the best if you just tried harder, and yet instead of changing the habitual behaviour you just keep procrastination going on and on...

[@ngiengkianyew2334]

1. Use your failure as motivation - remind yourself the feeling of failure 2. Take steps to boost confidence and self-esteem - The less confident you are, the more likely you are to procrastinate. 3. Surround yourself with greatness, listen to what good people say - watch podcasts - read books 4. Obey the law of forced efficiency. - Instead of long todo list, create 1-4 most important tasks. As long as we complete these tasks, it is okay.

[@Cosme_Vidro]

In fact, we only procrastinate when we have to do things we dont like to do. Doing things we dont like makes us suffer, and our brain is smart enough to make us avoid this suffering. With that in mind, change your focus from the suffering of doing the tasks itself to the relief you'll get when the tasks are done. It works for me.

[@eduardaaraujo9039]

this self-confidence thing is so true!! it's literally the main reason why i procrastinate so much!

[@justincook805]

What I learned: 1. Use failures as rocket fuel → use defeat as motivation to get better. - My idea: each time I fall into procrastination, think of it as a temporary setback that motivates me to improve. 2. Take steps to boost confidence and self-esteem. Read inspirational books about successful people. - My idea: read The Miracle Morning 3. The law of forced efficiency: there is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing. - Simplify your to-do list to only include 1-3 IMPORTANT things per day. - Be less busy while getting more of the important things done. - My idea: re-organize my Notion task manager to make it easier to separate critical tasks from non-critical tasks (i.e. ideas)

The self confidence and procrastination relationship is damn true . Never realised it. An eye opener 😍

[@harshitrautela6585]

One way of avoiding procrastination is to think that the skills and achievements you are doing or making are for you, not vice versa. Thinking opposite makes us feel to do them perfectly and since we know that we can't do it in first try, we try to avoid and delay them as much as possible thereby fueling our procrastination. I used to have the same weak mindset while exercise, which made me lose a lot of important time. But once I corrected my mindset, I corrected my life and overcame my procrastination evil.....

Can u make a video on how u manage your time productively on weekends and holidays

[@StarOnTheWater]

Procrastination is neither a lack of motivation nor of discipline. It is simply a natural response to overwhelm, too much pressure, sometimes induced by trauma. We avoid the task in order to recharge and recover. In our primary nature the task would go away if we go away (eg crossing a river, climbing a tree, avoiding an opponent etc). In our civilised surroundings it doesn't. The tasks keep piling up. In order to overcome procrastination we need to learn how to deal with the stress first, otherwise all superficial behavioural changes are doomed to failure. Also we need to relearn how to recharge, because distraction like TV etc doesn't to the trick and is highly addictive.

Thank you bro, I suffer from this a lot. And I have been thinking about it for a while now. I lack motivation, I have no inspiration. Life is happening to me instead of me happening to life. I lack discipline,I eat junk food. I can't manage my expenses. I have been blessed with great jobs. I don't particularly think I am a complete idiot, otherwise I would not be a manager in one of the leading FMCG companies in South Africa but I am a zombie. I don't even know how to communicate with women anymore. Cause all I do is work and go to my house and sleep, netflix, go to work. Repeat. I wish to be a productive human being. I wish to have something to look forward to. I am just a bag of meat hurtling towards certain death.
