How to Stop Procrastinating: a simple Guide to Mastering Difficult Tasks and Breaking the Procrastination Habit

8 REASONS WHY PEOPLE
PROCRASTINATE
One reason overcoming procrastination can be a challenge is everyone
has a different reason for doing it. What’s more, the same person may
have different reasons for putting off the various tasks in their life.
For example, maybe you feel too tired to call back your mother, telling
yourself, “I can call her later this week.” Or maybe you put off starting a
new hobby because you’re afraid of making a bunch of mistakes. Or you
might procrastinate on a major project because you’re secretly worried
that it’ll be a complete failure.
Simply put, beating procrastination is tough because we all have
personal, but different, reasons for why we struggle with it. That said, if
you want to break this bad habit, then you need to understand the
common reasons why it happens and address this issue.
In this section, I’ll review eight reasons why people procrastinate.
My suggestion?
Carefully read each one and ask yourself if it sounds like an excuse that
you say to yourself whenever you want to put off a task.
