Takeaways
Procrastination is not laziness but an emotional reaction to unpleasant or boring tasks. Start small and make progress, as some progress is better than no progress. Focus on finishing one task at a time to create a snowball effect of productivity. Create a productive environment free from distractions, such as turning off phone notifications. Procrastination can have negative impacts on health, including higher rates of depression, stress, anxiety, and immune system deficiencies. Change your mindset and language around tasks by choosing to do them rather than feeling forced to do them. Procrastination is common and can be managed with self-awareness and the right tools.
