It is so easy to tell yourself that you will get to it later: after I check my email, after I check social media, let me just watch this quick YouTube video… I'll have more motivation after I take a break, maybe I'll just have a quick snack… And so on, and so on, and so on…
I know because this is literally the thought process I go through whenever I procrastinate, and that happens often when I don't have the motivation to start a task. And the problem is that the getting started is often the hardest part, because once you start it's usually easier to continue.
Do you struggle with knowing how to stop procrastinating? Do you find yourself leaving things to the last minute, resulting in more stress, a build-up of anxiety, and frustration within yourself?
