•What is it?

Procrastination is the act of delaying a task for later so as not to do it at a certain moment. This could be one's job, schoolwork or chores. Usually, a procrastinator, mostly involuntarily, pushes away the thought of having to do something for the sake of instant gratification. Instant gratification is a sense of happiness or accomplishment we get without having to work too hard. For example, watching a movie, playing games, or any activity that is easily enjoyable. Delayed gratification, on the other hand, is when you study for a test and then nail it; or gain/lose weight after months of effort. Instant gratification activities could be good for relaxation, but do not qualify as long term goals. Careers, grades and accomplishments are all results of at least some struggle, and procrastination holds many back from having these.

Unfortunately, procrastination doesn't stop here. It affects the bigger things in life. Not all of your dreams have a deadline to them. Things like starting your own business, learning a new language, taking care of your health (physical or mental), visiting places, achieving your personal goals, etc will not be reinforced by your workplace or your school. No one is going to check if they have been done, except you. You could end up living with regrets and what ifs. If you admit that you are a procrastinator and are willing to try and make a difference about it, I'm glad you made that choice and I hope I can help. And if you thought of it but keep denying it, this is a sign. It's okay, happens to the best of us. Research your doubts, talk to people, and give it a thought. Identifying your problem makes it less powerful and you more prepared.
