Introduction
2. "I'll do it tomorrow." Next day: "I'll do it tomorrow, I'm busy now." That sounds pretty familir to
me. In fact that is me 90% of the time. Procrastinating, though feels good for a little bit, is a very
damaging habit.
3. As a major procrastinator myself, I understand what goes on when you're procrastinating. I have
seen personally its effects.
4. Procrastination is a sick carnival ride of thoughts and actions and feelings, it is a definite problem..
It is very harmful. But luckily it is something you can get over. It's hard, but setting up rules and
boundaries for youself, and finding a way to stay accountable is the only way to get out of
procrasting chronically.
Body
Not keeping yourself these rules, really can just make you go around in that circle
without any stopping.
