Learn how to overcome the effects of
procrastination.
In this podcast, I'll cover why you procrastinate, the effects of
procrastination, and how to overcome it.
Procrastination is created by you, not by the activity. The
resistance to doing something is basically a fear, often a fear of
failure or a fear of rejection. It can arise when someone
tells you what to do and you want to resist that.
You may also suffer from the effects of procrastination when the
task is boring or not motivating.
If your self-confidence is low, you may procrastinate because tasks
seem harder or outside of your abilities. We also procrastinate
when we associate pain with doing something. That pain could be
effort, discomfort or feeling that the task is hard or
stressful.
However, this is purely the meaning or perception that you give to
that particular task. It's making it seem much bigger than it
really is.
