The Product of Laziness- PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination


Procrastination is often overlooked as a psychological disorder and simplistically attributed to laziness. However, extensive research over the past few decades has revealed procrastination as a far more psychologically significant condition with complex causes and serious implications. Procrastination has also been identified as a common symptom of a more significant underlying psychological disorder.


First, modern technology makes it increasingly easier for people to procrastinate. The computer has activities that cater to many different sectors of society and distractions like checking e-mail, messaging friends instantly, surfing the news, listening to music, watching videos on YouTube, playing computer games and hanging out in virtual social networks like Facebook and MySpace can all unnecessarily delay the task at hand. The computer isn't the only distraction: television, cell phones, mp3 players, video games and a whole host of increasingly sophisticated, modern inventions can cause serious procrastination.

In closing, while there are numerous causes of and treatments for procrastination not mentioned in this article, the most important step to overcoming procrastination is to become self aware of any procrastinatory tendencies.......If you knew better you would do better.

I did a little research to help us develop some good habits and ways to overcome procrastination

1. Let's start thinking of STARTING rather than FINISHING

2. Let's break down long projects and our things to do list in pieces.

3. Have fun with your task ...long periods of BOREDOM will make anyone procrastinate.

4. Work on your project a little bit each day and before you know it......TA-DAA

5. Block out distractions.....Drop the cell phone...back away...you can do it.

Stay Tuned for What's Next.... Muah!
