Procrastination is a coping mechanism that helps you and hurts you at the same time. Stress and anxiety seems to reduce when we procrastinate, but we are actually building up that stress and anxiety the more we procrastinate on something. Procrastination can be an addiction. When you tell people that you procrastinated on something, they may see you as lazy and unwilling to complete your tasks, duties, and responsibilities. There are people that manage procrastination well, so their perspective on it might be that it's easy to manage, and the inability to understand why it's difficult or a problem for others. Pushing yourself to do something that you really did not want to do in the first place tends to end up in procrastination since it becomes strengthened with negative emotions and thoughts. Procrastination can happen before you do something, while you're doing something, and even right before you finish doing something. I believe it will require a positive change in your perspective and definitely discipline to manage it. I find it interesting that there are lots of help for managing stress and anxiety, but not much for managing procrastination. Procrastination, just like stress, is something we can't get rid of, but something we can surely manage and reduce. I was actually procrastinating on writing on SteemIt today until I saw this post. Thank you for writing this article.
