Procrastination is normal. Being new or old, to procrastinate is quite normal, and human after all!

What we will do here is to help you to procrastinate your procrastination :)

Accordingly to the Cambridge dictionary, procrastinate means:

to keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring.

If something must be done, it must be done, so why to delay it?

You may say “because it is unpleasant or boring”. Yes, and there is nothing that you can do… or can you do something to change it?

Let’s imagine your “you” in the future: “If I had finished this task before, I would be able to do more interesting things by now”. So, changing the present behavior and believes, will help your future self to be more productive, and happy!

And this is a matter of changing your mindset. I won’t say that it is easy, but it is not that hard, too.

These days, we have so many distractions that procrastinate is some kind of sport. We cannot forget that boredom helps us to be more inventive and creative. There is an interesting article about it https://hbr.org/2014/09/the-creative-benefits-of-boredom

According to Agatha Christie, “there’s nothing like boredom to make you write” (Credit: Alamy and https://www.bbc.com)
