👉3 Things That Trigger Procrastination | #shorts

If you have noticed yourself putting things off, here are three things that correlate with procrastination.

1. Perfectionism. Many people call themselves a perfectionist with pride. The truth is, some perfectionism can boost performance as we strive for great things. But there comes a point at which perfectionism becomes detrimental to our progress. It can stop us in our tracks and cause us to avoid a challenge that we might otherwise have enjoyed and learned from. Perfectionism at it’s most severe can have a higher impact on your life.

2. Fear of failure. Fear of failure is a learned response. None of us want to fail, but if we fear failure strongly enough, it prevents us from challenging ourselves and pushing our limits. Failure is a healthy part of growth, development and mastery. None of us ever learnt to walk without falling down a few hundred times at the beginning.

3. Stress. When we procrastinate over everyday jobs, it is often a sign that we just feel overwhelmed with the stress of everything. The stress of not doing something feels slightly less than the stress of facing it. This is when taking time to de-stress and recharge may be a good idea.
