Procrastination

Merriam-Webster defines “procrastination” as “to put off intentionally and habitually,” and “to put off intentionally the doing of something should be done.”  Make no mistake, the majority of people are guilty of procrastinating from time to time, and either suffer no consequences, or the consequences are minor.  

For others though, habitually putting off doing things that should be done can create significant problems at home, at work, and in relationships. Procrastination is often caused by feelings of fear, feelings of unenjoyment, and feelings of being inept/unqualified to complete a specific task.  These feelings lead us to subconsciously put off doing what needs to be done, through choosing a distraction such as eating, social media, watching tv, browsing the internet and more.

Unfortunately, if left unchecked, procrastination can cause myriad problems. For example, procrastinating paying your bills can result in damage to your credit. Procrastinating work projects can lead to disciplinary measures. Procrastinating other tasks such as having your car serviced, or your gutters cleaned can lead to hefty financial expenses.
