Overcoming the Habit of Delaying Important Tasks

Overcoming the Habit of Delaying Important Tasks

It is Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking. You are working furiously to complete a task before the five o’clock deadline, while silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner. How did this happen? What went wrong? Why did you lose your focus?

Well, there were the hours that you spent re-reading emails and checking social media, the excessive “preparation”, the coffee/tea breaks, and the time spent on other tasks that you could have safely left for next week.

Sound familiar? If so, you are not alone!

Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. In fact, according to researcher and speaker Piers Steel, 95 percent of us procrastinate to some degree. While it may be comforting to know that you are not alone, it can be sobering to realize just how much it can hold you back.
