Instead of g= etting the job over and done with, when you procrastinate you=E2=80=99ll no= t only expend mental energy constantly thinking about it, but you=E2=80=99l= l also feel worry and a sense of impending pain =E2=80=93 because you have = a shorter time to do it.

In this article, w= e=E2=80=99ll look at the underlying causes of procrastination=E2=80=A6 and = they=E2=80=99ll shed light on the thought processes going through your mind= when you delay the inevitable. 1. Fear of pain This is the most common cau= se. We fear the discomfort and pain associated with the task. In other word= s, we dread the effort that we need to expend to complete the work. It does= n=E2=80=99t matter whether its making sales calls or working on a project t= hat has been lying dormant for ages.

So, they don=E2=80=99t even start and nothing gets done. The iro= ny of it all is lost on perfectionists. 3. Lack of clarity A lack of clarit= y means that you don=E2=80=99t know what=E2=80=99s important and what=E2=80= =99s not. Not all work is made equal. Some will help you progress greatly, = while others will have you spinning your wheels and going nowhere.

You need a plan! A good plan will tell = you which tasks move the needle and the ones you should focus on. Now you k= now where most of your time should go. 4. No energy Lethargy can arise due = to several reasons. A poor diet, lack of sleep, illnesses, etc. can leave y= ou feeling drained and unenergetic. You do require energy to be productive= =E2=80=A6 and if you lack it, following through on what you need to do will= be much more difficult. In situations like these, you may wish to consult = a doctor to check on your health while you take remedial actions to live a = healthier lifestyle. 5. Fear of the unknown This is often seen when you nee= d to learn new skills or concepts. It=E2=80=99s why students dread school, = and millions of adults never pick up a book once they leave school.

2 Ways To Overcome Procrastination

 

&= nbsp;

There=E2=80=99s absolutely no benefit that can be accr= ued from procrastination. It makes easy things hard, and hard things harder= . This is especially true if you have deadlines or the task you=E2=80=99re= procrastinating on has to be done sooner or later.

Instead = of getting the job over and done with, when you procrastinate you=E2=80=99l= l not only expend mental energy constantly thinking about it, but you=E2=80= =99ll also feel worry and a sense of impending pain =E2=80=93 because you h= ave a shorter time to do it.

The best way to prevent procras= tination is to know why you=E2=80=99re putting off till tomorrow what can b= e done today =E2=80=93 and taking actions to eliminate this negative habit.=

In this article, we=E2=80=99ll look at the underlying cause= s of procrastination=E2=80=A6 and they=E2=80=99ll shed light on the thought= processes going through your mind when you delay the inevitable.

1. Fear of pain

This is the most common cause. We fear= the discomfort and pain associated with the task. In other words, we dread= the effort that we need to expend to complete the work.

It = doesn=E2=80=99t matter whether its making sales calls or working on a proje= ct that has been lying dormant for ages. The idea of working and doing the = unpleasant tasks makes us want to shelve it for later just to avoid the pai= n in the moment.

2. Perfectionism

The curse o= f perfectionism has prevented millions from reaching their dreams. By setti= ng unrealistic standards and expectations, perfectionism will sabotage you = from the get-go.

Since it=E2=80=99s impossible to be perfect= , why even try=3F They=E2=80=99re never satisfied with what they do=E2=80= =A6 and their efforts just seem like a waste of time to them. So, they don= =E2=80=99t even start and nothing gets done. The irony of it all is lost on= perfectionists.

3. Lack of clarity

A lack of= clarity means that you don=E2=80=99t know what=E2=80=99s important and wha= t=E2=80=99s not. Not all work is made equal. Some will help you progress gr= eatly, while others will have you spinning your wheels and going nowhere.

This will lead to a loss of motivation since you can see that= you=E2=80=99re not progressing. Now the situation is exacerbated because n= ot only are you lost, but you=E2=80=99re unmotivated too. You need a plan!<= /p>

A good plan will tell you which tasks move the needle and th= e ones you should focus on. Now you know where most of your time should go.=

4. No energy

Lethargy can arise due to sever= al reasons. A poor diet, lack of sleep, illnesses, etc. can leave you feeli= ng drained and unenergetic. You do require energy to be productive=E2=80=A6= and if you lack it, following through on what you need to do will be much = more difficult.

In situations like these, you may wish to co= nsult a doctor to check on your health while you take remedial actions to l= ive a healthier lifestyle.

5. Fear of the unknown

This is often seen when you need to learn new skills or concepts. It= =E2=80=99s why students dread school, and millions of adults never pick up = a book once they leave school. Learning requires mental energy. It=E2=80=99= s work.

And=E2=80=A6 of course, we=E2=80=99d rather do somet= hing more fun and relaxing than study. So, we procrastinate. We fear the pa= in of struggling to comprehend the new knowledge we=E2=80=99re required to = know. It=E2=80=99s easier to watch TV instead.

These 5 commo= n causes of procrastination can be remedied, but first, you need to know wh= ich ones are tripping you up. From there, it=E2=80=99s just a matter of tak= ing a few steps to overcome these causes and end this negative habit.
