Do it Now. Later is an Illusion!
“Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder.” ~ Mason Cooley
“Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.” ~ Wayne Gretzky
taught about procrastination may not be totally correct. Procrastination has always been considered a time management issue when, in fact, it has a very important emo- tional factor. So, if you’ve spent years trying to man-
T
age your time more efficiently by using the latest planner or system, then this is good news for you. Consider yourself officially off that hamster wheel! Instead, let’s ex- amine why procrastination shows up in

his month we are going to talk about the issue of procrastination. Let me start by saying what you’ve been
your life.
Studies show you procrastinate in order to feel better now. When a task presents discomfort at the outset, you shy away from it by turning your attention to something that feels better in the moment. Somehow you convince yourself that
Facebook seems like a better use of your time. After all, it’ll only take a second to update your status and see what’s going on with your friends. You avoid the un- pleasant feeling by focusing on something you like to cheer you up and distract. Ironically, this short-term fix has
greater long-term detrimental effects. There is only the now – later is an illusion. When you choose to not do something you need to do in this moment you place it in a fu- ture now, only you’ve made it emotion- ally heavier because you’ve added the weight of self judgement to the task. Procrastination increases your stress
level, lowers your self-esteem, and de- creases the quality of your finished prod- uct. There is no upside to procrastination, yet we all do it. Why? Because we have been looking in the wrong place for the solution.
