Stop Putting Things Off - take action

PROCRASTINATION

Do you keep putting things off?
​
Do you leave things to the last minute and then rush to get them done.?

You are not alone. Everyone at some point will procrastinate, but for some people it becomes entrenched and can take over. The more you put off doing things the more you will put off doing things!

After a while even small tasks get delayed. Everything can feel like hard work or difficult. Your mind persuades you that it can wait. it will find you other 'more important things to do - like tidying!

It is a battle between 2 competing parts of your brain. There is the rational long term planner that knows the right path. It can see that doing the task now or putting in regular time on a taks is beneficial. There is also the more primative part of your brain that is only interested in feeling good now. It takes you towards pleasurable things like food or TV. It also tries to avoid anything it sees as painful or hard work.
