_"Procrastination is a form of stress relief"_

Me who is stressed from procrastinating: *"I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you."*

[nolomoussy]

I know what my problem is: phones and screens
being addicted to watching stuff and letting your brain be passive

[birdgirl]

Understanding that procrastination is a response/self-defence to stress is already a big step, thank you

[rubenjooste]

Who else is procrastinating by watching this

[exposez]

Procrastination is a habit.
It's kind of a self defense against stress.

Be aware of your behavior (the procrastination) and Acknowledge the stress.

Get yourself to start.
Think that you will deal with the problem for just five minutes.

After that 80 % of you will continue.

Thanks Mel Robbins!

When I'm anxious and stressed it seems more difficult to carry out the simplest activity. Sometimes I get addicted to scrolling down my youtube feed or any other social media (especially when I don't sleep well at night) and my attention span decreases substantially, so when it happens procrastinating is almost inevitable because my brain only wants little effort and lots of dopamine.

[cristian-bull]

I work on pomodoro periods of 25 minutes.
Sometimes I find it very hard to start, so I split the first pomodoro in 10min work, 5min rest, 15min work.
After that it's a lot easier to keep going with the 25min intervals. The idea of just getting started even for a short period really helps.

[franticzenster]

Procrastination stems from a fear of life. Discipline helps, but ultimately the fear must be addressed to truly be free.

[squares]

Procrastination is a crime, it only leads to sorrow. I can stop it anytime… I think I will tomorrow!

[Bltzn]

who is here procrastinating with me by watching this video in may 2024

[sarshak]

Yes, I procrastinate on calling people that I really need to call. It's my anxiety and having to talk to the person and sound professional or sound like I know what I am talking about.

"The worst form of procrastination is reading a procrastination quote, feeling the guilt and not doing anything about it."
