I hate procrastination.
Johana C29-Sep-20
Procrastination is such an unhelpful state to be in and I hate it when I procrastinate but I am human and it happens. It happens before gym workouts, it happens before massive career decisions. It happens before cleaning the house. But I always feel better after any task is done and often wonder why I procrastinated in the first place. Surely others feel like this too?

        Everyone does it sometimes, but providing you get the job done anyway, where's the harm? It's those who never get round to doing the job who have a problem.

                Sure, I do but its just something that happens. I don't mind, I always think it just gives me more time to make a decision or do a task.

                  agree that procrastination does not get things done?

                    Maybe that could be your weird way of getting motivated.! In the end it seems like that you to get a fair bit done! To me, English being my second language, when I first heard it, it sounded like a very "fishy" word and I think I thought I was pretty clever working it out, yes, no? Unfortunately things aren't always what they sound like so procrastination is a good "stalling tool".

                        My wife says that procrastinate regularly but I think that I have other priorities which seem to contradict her requests but eventually I appease her my own good sense.

                                Procrastination is for sure not very helpful, but on the other hand if you are rushing to make decisions is it helpful? I am not sure.

                                        well as it was stated so well we all do this at times because your brain needs a break,, I generally do what needs to be done and then get to the rest as I can.

                                          I think it's a sign of aging, when we are young we go at everything like a bull in a china shop, when we get older we procrastinate

                                                        I think it's normal to procrastinate sometimes especially when you're not in the mood to do anything.

                                                                Yes we are all human and we avoid those things we really don't like doing. It will always feel better when they are done - that's what we need to focus on - hard as it is to do. We need to focus on the final result. try one small victory at a time.

                                                                                                  No I am the type that if it needs doing, do it. I do believe one has to think on big issues that might affect you, others, finance, job etc. before making such a major change or decision but to dither for ages is not a good state to be in for yourself or others it might affect. I usually go with my gut feeling and it has not steered me wrong yet and I am in my 70's.
