Can you start revisiting everything you’ve placed on hold? Stop procrastinating. Visit those visions of yours. Time is ticking
There are several causes and consequences of procrastination which are:
Laziness:An idle hand they say is the devil’s workshop. Laziness limits your exposure and makes you remain in poverty, but when you become diligent and busy, it brings you wealth.
Giving excuses: This is the killer of all. You hear statements like, I’m not in the right frame of mind to work now has spoiled a lot of things. Do what you want to do at the right time, else, it will break you down physically and emotionally.
Fear of failure and criticism: Procrastination sets in when you are afraid of failing or afraid of being criticized. No one is a master of all, if you don’t fail, you won’t grow.
Lack of confidence also leads to procrastination, instead of taking a risk, you prefer to create a condition that makes succession possible.
