Psychologists have identified many reasons for why people procrastinate, they believe its a trait linked to low-self confidence and increased levels of anxiety.
An inability to motivate yourself to complete or start even the simple tasks can be linked back to a lack of structure in your daily routine and a fixation on negative thoughts flooding your mind.
Procrastination can lead to increased levels of stress and regret as goals are missed and opportunities are blown away.
The constant fear of failure and growing imposter syndrome within can lead to tasks being incomplete and personal negative self talk judgement.
