Do you ever think:

"Where does all my time go?"

It's the end of the day. You turn off your computer and regret starts to weigh heavily on your mind. You begin to feel that terrible feeling in the pit of your stomach - it looks like that big task will have to wait another day.....again.

If you've ever felt this way, you may be a procrastinator.

You're certainly not alone.

We all procrastinate in one way or another in our lives. Living in the digital age, procrastination has become an epidemic in the world. A new study posted in Forbes shows 88% of the workforce admit they procrastinate at least 1-2 hours per day (and more) and on average.

People spend countless hours checking emails, texts, watching cat videos, self-help tutorials, taking programs and chasing down the "shiny new objects of the week."

Procrastination causes people to feel unhappy and procrastinators typically have health issues, financial problems, and lower self-worth. All of these things can majorly impact your life.

By not taking action on your goals, you are forcing yourself to lead a life of mediocrity and disappointment. (you disappoint your loved ones and most importantly, you disappoint yourself.)

What kind of procrastinator are You?

When you need to complete a task, what would you rather do instead?

You like taking naps

You watch cat videos

You hang out on Facebook

You like to clean things

You check your email

You love to snack

You love doing research

You like to organize things

Do anything but the task

Why do people procrastinate?

Have you ever thought this way about procrastination?

Most people procrastinate because they are lazy!

Most people procrastinate because they don't have self-discipline.

Most people procrastinate because they don't have strong enough willpower.

Most people procrastinate because they don't have good time management skills.

Most people procrastinate because they are distracted and must have attention issues.

This is not always the truth.

Procrastination is an emotional issue.

The definition of procrastination is "the action of delaying or postponing something."

It's something that occurs in your subconscious mind that helps protect you from dealing with an experience that could be uncomfortable.

However, some people do consciously decide to not do something - either way, the results are the same. Procrastination is harmful, in that it causes you to delay achieving your goals.

95% of the time, people procrastinate to avoid certain feelings and emotions.

People use procrastination as a coping mechanism - this helps us deal with situations that we are ready or equipped to handle, emotionally.

Your brain is protecting you, by sending you signals to move away from the situation, to avoid anxiety and stress. This is based on millions of years of evolution with the - fight, freeze, flea, faint mentality.

However, what ends up happening is you begin feeling regret, which weighs a ton! Regret causes you to feel more stress and increases your anxiety levels even more than if you did the task.

You are also depriving yourself from receiving the positive emotional high and the feeling of accomplishment that follows getting the job done.

Think about a situation where you had more anxiety from not doing a task - how did that make you feel?

Now, think of a situation where you braved through your emotions, did the task and completed it. How did that make you feel?

Take a moment to find where your age is on this chart

Below, the chart shows how many months we live if we reach 90 years of age.

Below is shows that we only have 1,080 months to live, if we hit 90 years.

That's not a lot of time, and I'm sure that you agree you don't want to waste what's left!

That is pretty eye-opening, isn't it. This shows you just how important TIME is in you life. TIME is the most precious gift that we have.

It's a gift spending time with our loved ones. It's a gift making a positive impact in the world.

This means that you have burned through a lot of the little dots, above, which are months of your life. It shows you how there isn't a lot of time left to finish the tasks

and fulfill your bucket list, if you waste the time doing needless things procrastinating.

Procrastination does more harm than good

Procrastination creates negative patterns in your life:

☑ It steals away your self-confidence.

☑ It adds stress to potentially positive situations.

☑ It causes turmoil and increased anxiety in relationships.

☑ It makes people feel inadequate and unmotivated.

☑ It makes you feel unworthy and causes you to settle.

☑ It prevents you from setting and achieving bigger goals.
