A message to the Procrastinator. There’s bad news on the horizon. This thing you have. The stuff you don’t do. It’s selective. You pick and choose what you’re going to put off.
Every moment that you don’t act, it plays on your mind. Annoyance runs through your body. Sometimes feeling like it has its own pulse.
Why is it that we continually delay the inevitable? Especially when we’re aware it will make us feel at odds with ourselves. Avoiding something rather than getting on with it?
Working on tasks for short periods of time will relieve you of that sinking feeling.
The procrastinator who meets deadlines.
A deadline looms and every second counts. Putting responsibilities off until the last minute creates more pressure. An individual will never really know if they enjoy the working process. The finish line is their main objective. This will impact on the quality of work produced.
The mind is left frustrated.
- Concentration is not at its best. Attention is divided between mentally beating themselves up and the task at hand.
- Heavily sighing while doing the job.
- Fear circulates throughout the body due to the intense pressure they’re under. Working in a hypersensitive state.
- Questioning why they left it to the last minute again? Some even promise themselves it will be the last time they go about their business in such a fashion. This sort of self-talk should be left for after the deadline. Focusing solely on the finalisation of the project.
These individuals get the job done, people are satisfied and it’s over. The procrastinator repeats the same cycle.
What would happen if they underestimated the project and overestimated their ability? Unable to complete the assignment by the due date.
