We all procrastinate. Procrastination is the act of putting off work for no particular reason. Some guides and experts say that you’re procrastinating when you’re not doing a task that needs to be accomplished by a certain deadline.
That’s a false definition. It implies that we’re not procrastinating as long as we get the work done. If that’s true, most people don’t procrastinate. Which is of course not true.
Every day spent procrastinating is another day spent worrying about that thing. Do it now, and move on with your life.
Examples of Procrastination
When you delay work for a good reason, you’re not procrastinating. What’s a good reason? When your work improves with the delay. Think of someone who needs to write a report but runs into a new challenge that must be included in the report.
One can argue that the work will be better by spending more time researching the new challenge.
However, most of our work does not get better by delaying it. If you want to go to the gym, your performance will not be better tomorrow. It will probably be worse because of entropy.
Benefits Of Stopping Procrastination
Procrastination is an inner struggle that can seriously destroy our overall well-being. There are three main benefits to beating procrastination:
Lower Anxiety
The more we procrastinate, and the longer we wait to get started with important things, the more anxiety and stress we have. Doing work is never easy. And if you wait until tomorrow, you will only feel more anxious about getting started.
